Americans Failing At Simple Geography For 11 Minutes Straight

I spent the past few years quizzing Americans on geography. Many times they couldn't answer simple questions, like naming three countries outside of the Americas. Here's some highlights. This video is not meant to bash Americans but to raise awareness about the education system and to hopefully inspire people to educate themselves on general knowledge. I never laugh at an American for their lack of knowledge. If I laugh, it's only because they either rage quit or because I found the answer funny (in a positive way).

Here in Greece, the schools teach the six-continent combined-America model. And Australia is referred as Oceania.

[@zackkatopodis9665]

That’s very interesting! I always found his phrasing of outside of America confusing as an US citizen precisely because in the US we use “America” colloquially for the USA, and North/South America or “the Americas” for the continents. So when people start listing Canada, Mexico, Bolivia, Panama, etc., and he says “no outside of America” I sense the miscommunication. Of course I don’t think that would have helped many people in this case but I’ve seen it trip people up who do know geography fairly well.

[@Ignacio-MV]

Same in Chile, and almost most of The Americas as far as I know

[@TheCriminalViolin]

I wish the world would stop teaching Europe is a continent, since that's never been true once. It's a subcontinent. But yeah, the variability in what is taught when and where with respect to the Americas in the continent model is brutal. Sometimes they teach Central America is North America, sometimes they teach it's south, others teach it correctly as a subcontinent. Some place Mexico in Central America, most place it in North America, and others place it in South America. It just makes zero sense.

[@TheCriminalViolin]

@@zackkatopodis9665 As a fellow American (Oregonian), I do NOT ever have the same experience or issue with the "outside America", because I do not ever identify this country as America. Never have, never will as it takes a big ego to do, and confuses people. It's just the US. That's it. And it's a country in North America, or, America. If anyone says "America", I associate it by default with both north & south, and thus Central America too. But technically, Oregonians are unique in that we're also the only people in the US who only say "we're from Oregon" or "we're Oregonians", and never "we're from the states" "we're American", or the like, so that _MIGHT_ play a part in that for me.

It is interesting that we in Russia learn at school that there is 6 continents and that Europe and Asia are a single continent Eurasia, which frankly makes sense to me. We can divide Europe and Asia, but we call parts of the world (части света), not continents. It seems to me, there is no such category in English.

[@TheCriminalViolin]

I agree with this. Eurasia is very real, Europe and Asia are in fact subcontinents, and I don't even know when the hell the US began to teach they were somehow their own continents, but it was sometime while I was home-schooled (so no earlier than 2006) or after I would have graduated (2012). It is a HUGE peeve for me as a Geography and map nut myself. And it makes absolutely zero logical sense. I mean the US teaches that not only is North and South America their own continents (which they are), they unlike most of the world, teach & know that Central America is a subcontinent of both north & south. So that makes them hypocritical and contradict themselves teaching Europe is a full continent.

[@Emmett_Br0wn]

I've always been taught that there are 6, Australia, Antarctica, Africa, Eurasia and the Americas. I've always been confused when Europe and Asia are considered separate, they're both connected. It's a single continent.

[@sonavarpetyan4048]

Yeah I’m Armenia too. But when you google it, it says 7

[@kfitch42]

I think some of the confusion comes from the fact that to Americans, America means U.S.A. So when you say "outside of America", they hear "outside of the USA". If you want to refer to North and South America together you say "the Americas".

[@spiceupat2000]

Yup.

[@curly_bill]

Yeah a lot of the world just refers to US as America

[@TheCriminalViolin]

Which as a Oregonian, I really hate.

[@bonbahoue]

@Lingualizer : The question of the number of continents remains open: seven by convention (Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, Oceania), three in the strict sense of the definition (America, Antarctica, Eufrasia) and for a long time it was taught at school there were 5 continents (Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, Oceania). Antarctica was considered a southern land. This is why when you ask the question for number of continents the answers can be different depending on the age and country of the person.

[@relander6459]

Following the United Nations there are FIVE continents, not seven. Europe, Asia, Africa, America and Oceania. North and South America are considered sub-continents and Antartica is considered legally as "terra nullius" (nobody's lands), not as a continent.

[@alexanderhoak]

One thing to note, since it threw a lot of people off here, is that in English (esp. American English. but others as well), saying "America" typically refers to the USA, whereas "The Americas" refers to the supercontinent. That's why so many people were confused when Canada was wrong. It unintentionally was more of a trick question, based on knowing how other language speakers perceive the difference, rather than a straight forward geography question.

[@baronvonjo1929]

I don't understand how our education system can create some of the smartest people on the planet who have made some crazy technology while at the same time creating this.

[@CursedWheelieBin]

I’ve heard that American education, entertainment, and culture in general is designed to be very insulated in order to bolster its citizens into feeling patriotic. Americans will criticise their education system but the moment a non-American like me dares say anything it’s all “How dare you!? This is the greatest country on earth!” The programming seems to work. Countless Americans never leave, are totally insulated, and fear the outside world because they’re easily manipulated

[@CursedWheelieBin]

[@baronvonjo1929]

@CursedWheelieBin Hmm as I got older more and more people were less patriotic. Even old men and women who I know my whole lives got less patriotic but that's out of the school system. Also it's so unbelievablely expensive to leave the country. And there is a lot to do here. I feel like culture exports are a factor. Other than maybe K-pop and anime not much media gets sent here. Think about Hollywood, music, TV, fashion, tech, websites, it's all made in America or Americanized. Other countries seem to get more from others. We dont as nothing really takes off here. But social media is definitely changing it all. More Americans than ever think this is literally the worse country in the world and hate being Americans. We will definitely get less patriotic as the years go by thanks to seeing the rest of the world and also quality of life going down.

[@_Shadbolt_]

3:36 "I said outside of America" is deliberately misleading though. It's very unusual in English to describe The Americas as "America" so the question is a bit unfair to this kid. The word "America" in the the English language is widely regarded to refer to the USA, whether or not you're American yourself. Speakers of latin languages, especially Spanish, tend not to make the distinction between the 2 two continents, and refer to them both as simply "America" - but you're not speaking Spanish so it's very confusing to ask the question this way. It would be more fair to say "outside of the Americas" or to phrase it even more fairly "outside of North or South America". I'm British and believe me I'm the first to point out the arrogance of US exceptionalism and insularism - but defining North and South America as "America" is, for all practical purposes, linguistically wrong.

Nope, the United Kingdom is the only sovereign country out of all those that it's made up of. The UK is the only one with a prime minister, the others don't have one - because they aren't sovereign countries.

Dear American friends, in an increasingly interconnected world, understanding global geography is essential for being informed and aware citizens. Knowing countries, cultures, and challenges around the world not only broadens our horizons but also empowers us to contribute meaningfully to a more collaborative and fair future. Let's explore beyond our borders, not just physical ones but also cultural and social ones. Let's dive into the fascinating stories of people around the globe and discover the interconnections that shape our world. Together, we can build bridges of understanding and global solidarity. Let's embark on this journey of discovery and learning so that we can make a difference, not only in our own community but also on the global stage. Let's be inspired by the diversity of our planet and commit to a future where knowledge and mutual understanding are the cornerstones of our society. Let's explore, learn, and grow together! With hope and determination, we will be able to have a higher level of knowledge

Man there are 6 continents. America is just one continent, divided in 3 parts (north, central and south)

depends on the continental model that you got taught at school

My American friend asked me if we have washing machines in Europe because her history teacher told them that we don’t have and we wash our clothes in the river

Good lord.... I mean I understand if someone wouldn't remember all 7 continents (for example forgetting Antarctica or not knowing if it's Oceania or Australia) but not knowing what continents are all together is astonishing... And countries... I would forgive if one didn't remember which continent some country is in (for example thinking that Benin would be in Asia) but not knowing any countries is crazy... We were taught all the countries and their capitals in lower grades in school. Goes without saying that I would have forgotten so many of them if I wouldn't study them every now and then. But I guess the educational system in Northern Europe has been a little different. But mark my words, the system is starting to fail. Schools are getting rid of separate classrooms, and instead put all students in the same space divided by curtains. Students can hear what is taught on the other side of the curtain. Students with ADHD and other problems don't get support in a quiet calm space. What is the result? Massive issues in concentration. Hence kids can't focus and can't learn.

Orang Amerika ga ada yang belajar Geografi? Paling tidak sadar mereka tinggal dimana? Mereka mengaku kalau mereka adalah negara terkuat, tapi generasi muda nya punya kemampuan seperti ini? Tidak heran mereka jadi sasaran scammer
