I’ve got to say this questionnaire had a lot better results than many other map identification questionnaires I’ve seen on other channels before. A lot more on this got the questions correct which is a ‘relief’ and many other people who got them both right and wrong, actually considered the lack of knowledge and the issues behind it and where they can improve. Plus the issues that are in American education and ignorant self isolationism in the first place. Even though many people to get the questions wrong, a lot more got them right than the previous ones and good to know they will try and use it as an opportunity to improve. Thanks to big Asian movie and series releases on streaming platforms though, hopefully this will also encourage other people to improve their knowledge of Asian countries. As a European though, I can still see that America has a long long long way to go.

This, like Jay Leno's survey, shows people don't read and understand maps and also are incurious about other countries. Even though I have come to have an interest in Asia and world history, a big thing was I always had maps on my wall as a kid. If this is representative, I must be some sort of geek. I also ended up traveling, which most people don't do, probably as a result of my sense of adventure and wonder growing up. I learned to love maps and how to read them from National Geographic and Boy Scouts. I learned curiosity and acceptance of other cultures from my parents. I guess those are things of the past. Still sometimes when I see these videos, I think they show only the less informed people (yours is more balanced) or I marvel how these people hid from the knowledge all around them. The same with science subjects. I see maps like books. people please READ them, you'll be so amazed.
