      [M]icro-inequities often had serious cumulative, harmful effects, resulting in hostile work environments and continued minority discrimination in public and private workplaces and organizations. What makes micro-inequities particularly problematic is that they consist in micro-messages that are hard to recognize for victims, bystanders and perpetrators alike. When victims of micro-inequities do recognize the micro-messages … it is exceedingly hard to explain to others why these small behaviors can be a huge problem.

      Do you have a little moment that you feel offended, but you are afraid to say so, because you think: "Am I thinking too much?" "Am I overreactted?" I believe those are the moments that stops you from doing one thing, or enter one field. For me, the "smart expectation" and "high standards" on Asian programmers are the micro-inequities that stops me from learning the programming. I do know that java and C++ are very useful language in many fields, but I am not confident to my "humanity" "non-science" brain, and my learning outcome may diaqualify my asian status.

      In other words, through this kind of data we can see that there isn't some clear inherent separation of people's everyday practices in digital space and their practices in material space. The two are fundamentally interconnected, in ways more serious and substantive than what kind of food or drink one tweets about.

      Material space becomes the platform and foundation where people could express and exchange their thoughts in the digital space. Even internet builds the digital space without boundary, the cultural similarity naturally connects the user with closer distance.

      Thus, the notion of the "the map" as static, generalized, and created by trained experts has transformed into an era of "maps": dynamic, highly specific, created by amateurs and allowing for a diversity of perspectives to be represented simultaneously.

      Map is not only created by single and official geographers, it become a group shared project that is build by many residents and visitors. It is not still anymore, it becomes a dynamic live chart, that everyone can be the cartographer, everyone can add more detail of the location to make the map perfect.

      All locations—ranging from historical cities to future trajectories such as "Paradise"—are oriented in relation to Jerusalem, the spiritual capital of Christianity. In Mappi Mundi, the mantra of "you are here" is to facilitate our navigation through our immediate surroundings, but also a political, economic, cultural, social and doctrinal process of placing the user.

      Priority and Centerness shows the political, cultural and other social background of a user group, it is still applicable today while google map shows more icon of Chinese restuarant and boba tea shpps on the map to me, and more fast-food hamburger restaurants to my U.S. friends. Connecting to today's big data, the map will also collect your search history to find your interest, and help you to discover the nearby church or temple that belongs to your religion.

      Likewise, the era of "open data", "big data" and "open source mapping" has made previously inaccessible spatial datasets (or perhaps only accessible to those within certain, largely governmental, institutions) more widely available, allowing a range of people to come to grips with the geographies (aka map) any number of phenomena.

      By collecting photo graphs, social media posts on the "Big data", it creates a social context collection of the location. The "Geotagging" can show what people do on this location, and how this place makes them feel. In urbanization process, Geotagging may also be the dataset of regional safety, government could use the data as a local feedback to see what residents hope to improve in the area.

      the product of a particular set of social and spatial relations

      Like many geography projects and maps, the social and spatial relations is highly connected and could impact each others to change. The researcher's background, the location where it has been researched, the media tool that they used to research could also impact the results and the research perspective.
