      Yes, I am talking mostly about the last two people although the last girl was absolutely atrocious at this. It's not that I am offended more like disappointed. I don't know position of every country in Asia or Africa, especially the ones which are never mentioned anywhere for whatever reason. But there are countries in the world that will get mentioned in the news all the time or shaped the world history.
      The fact that you never even bothered to look at the map to memorize continents is pretty disappointing. I don't really look at it like it's only american thing. I can find plenty of young Europeans who have the same level of ignorance. You have to remember, the same people vote, the same people spread their opinions all over social media, but failed to grasp something from elementary school.

      @@afgncap Someone’s lack of knowledge may or may not be a reflection of the failure of an education system. At the end of the day it’s not easy to force someone to learn and if they do learn it may be to pass a test but not something that they will retain the information very well if they don’t come across it again often. Personally I am highly skeptical that any American completed elementary school without anyone ever teaching them the continents. Also keep in mind what is taught about continents differs place to place. In the the UK and the USA, North and South America are considered different continents. In much of Latin America that is not the case. So who is “educated”? Also I watch the news but these outlets usually don’t show a map when they discuss a country which is why people might know a general vicinity but not an exact location. I have watched news about the US on networks from other countries. They typically mention what state something occurred in but that wouldn’t necessarily mean viewers understand where exactly that state is within the US. iJust speaking from my own personal experience and what I’ve observed in the USA is that students within the same school are not subjected to the same level of learning requirements. I had to label countries in South America, Western Europe and the Middle East in my geography classes along with major rivers and mountain ranges. That’s probably why these people know Egypt is considered part of the Middle East because it was the ONLY African country we studied in my schools. And all 50 states. Any other knowledge I have about African countries didn’t come from a classroom. I blame parents if their kids are not as educated as they should be more than the schools.

I wonder how well Europeans and Asians go with geography, since their regions have more complex borders and their news would be skewed towards the local issues and languages... Yet it's easier to travel between countries in Europe but harder for Australians. It's more common for us to visit Asian countries for our holidays... And yet many of us are still ignorant about the countries we visit. That possibly depends on what sort of tourist you are.

    3 mistakes that bugged the hell out of me:
    1.) They put Egypt's marker in South Sudan.
    2.) They included Turkey in the Europe only map.
    3.) They put Chile's marker in Bolivia.
