I took a class in the history of Southeast Asia 50 yrs ago in college and the first thing the professor did was give us a map of the area and make us learn where all of the countries were.

The reality of every nationality and as such NATION in the world, is that by all means a State IS what a country is. Not only do massive, oppressive federations call themselves "nationalities", they call economically insignifacnt states flyover state, and every STATE beyond the capital city essetnially flyover region. This is not normal, this is the political equivalent of Chinese bodunk cities washing their restaurant plates in dirty river water, and it's COMPLETELY normalized. The drafting of political will and tax resources even is built to serve this function, and that's why democracies work the way they do, simply functioning as accountability sinks so that a democratic voter is never accountable. For his atrocities that rival dictatorships, when a person with authority makes similar decisions witohut a scapegoat in "the corrupt politicians". Only in democracies are POLITICIANS that black mark on POLITICS, anywhere else like real republicks politics equals diplomacy and NOT the military industrial complex, economy of war. Deomcracy doesn't boil down entirely to voting, but in democracies voting is like food stamps of political power, and it's the ONLY currency that voters trade in that field. It's a ghetto, it's a project housing distirc. THAT is why people have no clue what a country IS, beyond their local governor, a robber baron in a high tower.

[@irocker350]

Yep, I can relate, I am Brazilian and some guy was telling me, (a Brazilian) that Brazil is in Africa and he would not accept it when I told him that he was wrong... so wrong. And when I first came to the US in 1972, many students, (I was in the 10th grade) seemed to think that I had never seen or ridden in a car, (I was born and raised in São Paulo). I decided to have a bit of fun at their expense and regalled them with stories of "living in the jungle" and "hunting for breakfast". And they ate it up. Their ignorance of their Country and the World in which they live came as a shock to me. I couldn't believe that American kids were so dumb about everything, they also thought that since I lived in Brazil, I must've had some "good weed", I had heard of marijuana in Brazil but had never seen it and didn't know anyone who had even seen it, let alone tried it. That was another shock for me, that crap was EVERYWHERE, pot, pills, hashish, it was mind boggling. I Also thought that American High School was a joke, I was placed in the 10th grade but I had covered it all in a Brazilian School 2 years earlier. Ended up graduating 2 years early. Loved American girls though, WOW! damn! did I love American girls, (still do).

[@dtniland]

the teacher of the ninth grade history class at my school (in the US) made them make paper maps of the world. some highlighs included a map with only the UK and spain in europe, the UK was in the middle and spain was an island. another one had all of central america perfectly filled out but the only thing in africa was "nile". and the worst one forgot about south america and australia.

@@NorweiganKarl Let me ask you this, are you caught up on your South American geography, or your African geography? You Europeans think you are all so important that we should know everything about your continent that y’all do. The simple truth is Norway and pretty much any part of Europe that isn’t Western or Central Europe just aren’t an important enough place for us to be able to distinguish between y’all without being told where y’all are from. Americans are never thinking about Norwegians so why would they automatically know when they see one? When you see someone from Thailand would you automatically know they’re from Thailand just from a basic conversation? I want to cap everything off by saying just because I say Norway isn’t important to us doesn’t mean I’m trying say that Norway isn’t important at all. Obviously to Norway and it’s neighbors, they are very important, but that’s not gonna be the case for everyone.

[@NorweiganKarl]

@@williamhardee8863 lemme tell you this. As I commented this just to tell a funny story, I do believe in everything you said. However, I think that the European school system is better, since we are being taught a little bit from every part of the world, not just all about a little place. And I am actually, caught up on some of the things going on in South America and Africa, but I am not caught up on all of it. You prove a valid point, but we over here in Europe are also taught things about the rest of the world.

Reletable for an Italian although we did it later, we had ( around the age of 12-14) to point out the capitals the lakes and rivers of the various continents and then describing the various geographic differences and the which sectors would have been more advantaged and disadvantaged in such territory ( for example in the Jungle Exotic fruits may be grown more easily while anything regarding the Tertiary sector won’t just have the infrastructure to be supported) while a plain area near a river will be more useful for Industries such as ( we also had to make examples) the Solvay.

When I was in grade school in the United States, in the 1960's and 70's, we did learn Geography as a discrete subject. Every year from 4th to 8th grade we covered about 1 continent each. We learned the names of countries and their capitals, the major mountain ranges, rivers, lakes, and other geographical features, the climates that could be found there, major agricultural products, and of course we learned to read maps. I don't know why or when we stopped doing that. Of course countries have changed drastically since then.

I never understood the excuse “I wasn’t taught geography in school so why should I know” You hear names of countries in the media and out and about in conversations.

I'm too curious to know how was this Geopolitics class you had in High School. Do you mind telling me what did they teach you more concretly in that class?

[@kotzpenner]

We didn’t have much education in the form of „which countries are where?“ but more about Passat winds, minerals, economical and ecological considerations. We were supposed to learn the locations on our own and turned out fine.

[@deepowls]

Some anecdata: I went to extremely well-regarded and well-funded public schools in Chicagoland. We had very limited geography in 7th grade Social Studies and that's it. That was 1986-87, for me. We covered US states and capitals. Same with European countries and their capitals. For the rest of the world, we had a single quiz that required labeling 10 or 12 countries/capitals. That was about it. In high school, all I had was AP US and European History classes. At a highfalutin university, I took a bunch of history classes for fun, but they didn't even offer geography classes, not that I would have taken one. However, I picked up a lot of geography on my own via learning about history. That, plus watching Olympics and being generally curious, was sufficient for me to be able to list about 175 countries when I tried during my late-30s. That was impetus to get me to fill in the gaps, which were mostly not knowing which islands were sovereign nations vs territories. Now I can list all countries and maybe 90% of the capitals without any problem....a little more problem if it involves spelling the capitals of Brunei, South Ossetia, etc.. My point is almost all of that was self-motivated away from schools. Someone could have easily gone through the same schools I did without know much of anything about geography beyond where some white people live and are from. Some USians do have more robust, formal geography instruction in school, but it varies greatly.

Diff countries and regions or even sometimes states do have diff curriculum but they all usually do include common basic knowledge. Not sure if they bunked class or teachers forgot to teach them.

As a Quebecer (and therefore a French-Canadian), I laughed out loud, happy to see that our neighbors know so much about the world around them! (On a more serious note, include geography classes in your educational program, a 10-year-old Canadian knows his geography much better than any of the Americans in this video).

[@wandilismus8726]

Erdkunde (geography) is 5th grade up in germany , Heimat-/Sachkunde (Geography of Germany)= 1st to 4th grade So in the First 4 years we learn everything about our own state and country and then from 5th grade we leave Germany to learn about the World, starting with Europe. Plus in 5th Grade history starts and is intertwined. When i was 15 (31 years ago i even was able to Show most of the 50 states on a map , your states that is)

What if we ask the British to name countries around the world, and then we compare their map to the Americans’ map?

Better ask to name the states within the USA because we only know a few. Usually the USA is shown as a big monolithic block on our European maps.

Yeah, in Canada you basically do colouring sheets (I think that’s what they’re called) until high school and you’ll learn about provinces and territories. That’s basically all of Canadian geography class.

5:05 there is this dude that had a program on dutch television, where the premise was that he wanted the Netherlands to become the 51 state of america so that in retrospect, he was born in amurica and could run for president, this was around the Obama era 😂 he toured amurica with a big bus with Van Rossum for president! With his head and amurican flag on it and all 😂 🇺🇸🇺🇸 he said, the more i went down south the more people liked the idea and didnt mind a foreign president because their president already came from Nigeria 💀
