when elementary school teachers teach world geography which uses a map that shows the u.s. featured prominently in the center of the world map, this exemplifies how ________________ is an often unintended part of informative speaking.

Respuesta :

Geography teachers often have an unintended bias in their informational speeches that influences the way they teach their students.

Partiality or bias is a term that refers to the influence or favorability that a person has towards another person, object, event, idea, among others.

In geography, bias is evident when cartographers have created maps that locate a particular country or region in the center of the world.

For example, the Rand-McNally maps placed the United States in the middle of the world and the proportions they used were Mercator's, so countries farther from the equator looked larger than those that were closer to the equator.

This affected the students' conception because it shows regions like the United States and Greenland much larger than South America (which is eight times larger than Greenland).

These maps and biased discourses allow discourses of discrimination and superior to be perpetuated that affect Latino and African communities because they are seen smaller on the maps.
