[@not_that_person]

In Germany there's a game plainly named "Stadt, Land, Fluss" (City, Country, River) where a random letter is selected and every player has to come up with one for each category that starts with the given letter. The categories can also be switched out for other things like, "animal" or "historic person" or whatever. It's a nice game to learn trivia.

[@taryn-leacarvalho3444]

Exactly, it seems like every country around the world is learning about their own country including the rest of the world except for the US. It does not make sense, then it is really not the people's fault, it is the education system and I suppose what the government wants them to know? I am a bit disappointed in South Africa's education system though, the pass rate used to be much higher, but over the years it has gone down, meaning if you only need 40% to pass, then that means when a student leaves school he has 40%knowledge. To me that is to low. Alot of the subjects taught are also useless, they should revise the system. The kids leave school and don't even know what tax is, what it is for etc

[@mehallica666]

@@taryn-leacarvalho3444 That is indeed the problem with the US education/indoctrination system. Conditioned from birth to believe only what the government wants them to believe; "the US way is the only correct way", and are sheltered from the 'horrors' of other first world countries who have no freedoms! They can't risk the population learning there are better ways of doing things, which aren't driven by profit and exploitation. As you say, the system is to blame. The majority know no better. At least some are taking the time to learn for themselves, after all, they have the entirety of human knowledge literally at their fingertips!

[@DanInMUC]

When I was a kid in the 80s, we learned that there are five continents: Africa, America (no split in North, Central and South), Asia, Europe, Oceania. Each ring in the Olympic flag represented a continent. Australia, as well as other countries such as New Zealand, Tuvalu, Samoa, Fiji, was part of Oceania. Things might have changed in 40 years and could be taught differently, but it's very weird to me that Australia alone qualifies as continent today.

[@laurainathunderstorm]

It's different around the world I guess, we still say Oceania where I'm from, and also Antarctica is a continent too, so we learn that there's 6.

[@straighttalking2090]

Where are you from Danilo. To me Oceania was always a political region not a land mass. You could equally claim Australia is part of Australasia which I think would have more resonance with most Australians but most Aussies think of themselves as just plain Australians, I never met one that called themselves Oceanian or even referenced Oceana - It is just something you see in maps or occasionally hear in politics. Most references to the peoples of Oceania would be to actual Island names. In Australia and New Zealand you hear about the Maoris and Islanders (people from places like Samoa or Fiji). I stick to geology and geography more than political labels. When a nation has had to defend itself from Asians in the North I think eyes keep watch in that direction. Just as Britain does to Europe and beyond.

[@LeSarthois]

I mean definitions of "continents" are a bit arbitrary. If we define continents as separated by oceans then there's no Europe or Asia but Eurasia. And it leaves all the islands as either their own continents or something else? If we refer to tectonic plates then divisions appears in the middle of the landmasses, there will be small ones squished between large ones, etc... Saying Australia is it's own continent is not right I think; but it's not the wrongest answer given in this video. Most of Russia's territory lies in Asia but Russians consider themselves as European (and genetic studies shows that most of the Russia population is indeed Slavic from Eastern Europe).

This depends on where you're educated - there are multiple systems around the world typically using between 4 and 9 continents, and some consider the continent to be Oceania; including many of the islands surrounding Australia and the region, while others consider the continent to be Australia, and those aforementioned islands not associated with a continent (in the same way that New Zealand is on its own tectonic plate, and some systems refer to Zealandia as a separate continent!).

It's difficult to understand the lack of education in US! In Sweden young children are more educated than adults in US. I have translated what children learn in school about geography when they are 10-12 years old The teaching of geography should deal with the following central contents: In grades 4-6 Geographical conditions, patterns and processes 1. Introduction to the endogenous and exogenous processes of the Earth, and how these shape and change the landscape. 2. The earth's natural resources, such as water, arable land, forests and minerals. Where on earth different natural resources are located and how people's use of the resources affects the landscape and human habitats. 3. Climate and vegetation zones and the ways in which climate affects human habitats. 4. Characteristics of some natural and cultural landscapes in Sweden, Europe and the world. 5. Name and location of geographical objects in Sweden, Europe and the world. A selection of seas, lakes, rivers, mountains, deserts, regions, countries and cities.¬ Sustainable development 1. How choices and priorities at the individual and societal level can affect the environment and promote sustainable development. 2. Some root causes and consequences of poverty and ill health, such as lack of access to education, health care and water. Work to improve people's living conditions, for example through the United Nations (UN).¬ Methods and tools of geography 1. Digital and analogue maps and their structure with degree grids, colors, symbols and scale. Topographic and thematic maps. 2. Field studies to investigate natural and cultural landscapes. 3. Descriptions and simple analyses of places and regions using maps and other geographical sources, methods, tools and concepts.
