I choose to have this view because it reminds me of a t-shirt that my Aunt and Uncle brought back for me whenever they were missionaries and went to Australia from PNG for a little bit. The map on that t-shirt was a flat one and had the whole world upside down from how we usually look at it. Underneath the map it said: Australia, No Longer Down Under. I think that it is interesting for us to think about how we look at maps from the point of view of were we are from. I think that we can gain more understanding of the world if we learn to look at maps from another person's point of view. How people have looked at the world has been mainly controlled by Europeans, through history. Now I think we are starting to be able to look at things through many peoples eyes.
