How many African countries do you know?

I have often wondered why people (including a few of my friends) considered Africa to be a country as opposed to a continent. For Perspective Matters, I conducted a survey in the beautiful city of Keene, NH asking people to name three African countries they knew or had heard about.
Stay tuned, as some of the responses might shock your ears!

[@perspectivematterswithjacq5299]

Ethiopia is a well-known country around the world. It was no surprise to see it mentioned first.

That was pretty entertaining and educative. I was happily surprised by their reactions. Not only did they know Africa was not a continent, but they were also able to list at least 2. That’s great!

[@loicfeujio1458]

For future videos it would be nice to see if people know what languages are spoken in African countries; or given a picture, for example that of a city, will they be able to tell if that picture was taken in a country in Africa or outside of Africa.

[@jacqueskenjio4982]

Fascinating ideas for the next videos. I like tho thought of delving into the cultural heritage of Africa (languages) to draw perspectives from. Thanks for the note!

The goal is not to laugh at ignorance but to educate and expand peoples understanding of the world.

[@masharikijuma7078]

@@perspectivematterswithjacq5299 but nothing is as difficult as trying to educate or enlighten a person on stuff that they think is not important or worth knowing anything about - that's how US folk view the rest of the world, not important and not worth knowing anything about!
