Americans Failing At Simple Geography For 11 Minutes Straight
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- 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).

yeah that's my bad haha
When we studied geography , we learned that America is one continent (no north and south). So if there's South and North America... then to which continent Central America belongs?

i've never been more frustrated watching something 🤣
That's also one of the reasons why I hate the fact only the USA is considered just "America", as if the rest of the continent in the 6-continent model (single America) didn't count as America. When Amerigo Vespucci set foot on the giant continent, he mainly went to the southern part, so his name should have meaning.

Here in Greece, the schools teach the six-continent combined-America model. And Australia is referred as Oceania.
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.
Same in Chile, and almost most of The Americas as far as I know
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.
@@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.
Same here in Latin America

It’s not really that they get the questions wrong, rather how overly confident some of them get and they hate being corrected / learning. It somewhat comes across as arrogant
That's the signature American mentality and attitude. Land of the Ignorant, Home of the Arrogant as I always say! (I really hate this country sometimes)
In this context I am grateful for even knowing Czechoslovakia as a thing 6:57. If it is outside Europe it is a miracle even this knowledge and I can't blame them, the split was so peaceful that many people haven't even realised it. I am sure that even some elders from the UK think that here is still Czechoslovakia.
Sure my well educated parents continuously say czechoslovakia by accident anyway. They know they split up they just forget it ig
I quickly learned of it when I was very little. The maps and atlases changed overnight, so that helped a lot. Never was confused about it. The split was also WAY later than most people realize. I think it happened in 96 or 97, which made me 2 or 3 when it happened funny enough. For the record I am a Oregonian, so far outside Europe.
@@TheCriminalViolin Thank you for sharing your experience. Just I have to correct you. Split happened in 1.1.1993 - three years and a few days after comunism (more like socialism in reality) regime falled.
That is just to clarify the context.
@@RadexONFunGaming1 I appreciate that! And yes, the USSR was in fact self-proclaimed Socialist, given that is literally one of the S' in their name/acronym. Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Of course it's hotly contested and argued if anything the world has seen (including with the USSR) was anywhere remotely related or close to true socialism in the first place. *_SIGH_*
ngl of all the countries he could say he said a outdated country LOL
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.
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.
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.
Yeah I’m Armenia too. But when you google it, it says 7
Same in Japan. They learn that there’re 6 continents in the world, and Eurasia is one of them. Don’t know why Americans believe Europe is a stand alone continent. It’s obviously not.
You referred to the country as "America" multiple times but when you asked them to name a country "outside of America" you expected them to assume you were referring to the continents and not their country, which is widely known by that name, that's unfair
3:11 you made a mistake here, 197 countries not 179
Yeah this guy such a know it all he thinks cuba is in south america.
United kingdom isn't a country either.
@@Alex-sw6shyeah it’s the mix between 3 countries (or more), Northern Ireland, wales and Britain
Edit; forgot Scotland
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".
Yup.
Yeah a lot of the world just refers to US as America
Which as a Oregonian, I really hate.
Well, America is a continent. Plus, an American is from the Continent of America.
What do you mean by "...that to *'Americans',* America means U.S.A."?
@@CaptainAmerica001 citizens of the USA call themselves Americans, they also refer to the USA as America. In schools in the USA we learn about the two continents of "North America", and "South America". When referring to the combination of North America and South America, we call that either "The Americas" or maybe "the new world" if you want to sound archaic and fancy. I had NEVER heard of America meaning "The Americas" until watching this channel. America has always been short for USA in my experience.

6:57 NO SHOT I MET ANOTHER PERSON WHO THINKS CZECHOSLOVAKIA STILL EXISTS!!!!!(the other one was in a video where a guy asked random people to name some flags and that girl said ,,Czechoslovakia" to Spain flag.... CZECHOSLOVAKIA DOESNT EXIST ANYMORE FOR 30 YEARS!)

Isnt it hasn't existed. Past tense
@@Hetouchesfish not everyone's native language is english... some of us have to learn it and even speaking it on daily basis we still make some mistakes
I mean people are living delusions 24/7 now- men think theyre women women think theyre men... so why not this delusion? So maybe in their world it still exists. I mean if we're going to entertain delusions, entertain delusions of all.
@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.
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.
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.
Thank you, I was going to type out basically this but you saved me some time.
Using terminology that US Americans (bored teenagers on omegle) don't use, for a video to make them look dumb is just disingenuous
That "America" thing really annoys me! I think it's really obvious when there literally isn't another demonym
This is a case of not understanding basic English!
Are there countries *inside* of your America?
In English, the 'America' in the official name of the United States of America USA 🇺🇲, has represented a continent for the past 248yrs, even 269yrs before the USA 🇺🇲 existed.
The Continent of America has not changed name in 517yrs.
Your logic suggests the USA 🇺🇲 should be named the United States of the Américas or the United States of North America & South America (USNASA)
but the logic is flawed!
America is not a country or a nation. Therefore, 'American' is not a nationality or a citizenship, officially.
Furthermore, an American is from the Continent of America.

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.
Remember one teacher lost his mind when he realized a 9th grader didnt know what or where the Atlantic Ocean was. I had school with that kid since elementary and we had maps and went over history involving that ocean so many times. It was crazy.
U guys import
smart people from other countries. Innovation happens in Asia
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
@@FlawafflesThat sounds like the smart thing to do
@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.
The smartest people in the world dont come from america, they come to amzrica because of better salary, america doesnt produce too much smart people, it just hosts them
To be fair, “outside America” means outside the U.S. to Americans. Outside North and South America would make more sense to them. But let’s be real, a lot of them would still get it wrong.
I mean it might be that way to the ppl in the usa but that doesnt change the legitimacy of the question... America is a continent. L m a o
@@Ninetieschannel Nope, theres NORTH America and SOUTH America. need to be specific, which one are you referring to. if he had said that it would make sense otherwise America is the USA. PS IM not an American I did move here and see how this would confuse people in America, as in Americans. LMAO
@@SamBaker-z9h eh no. There is sout and north america that is correct. And they both form "america"..... just like u say eurole and u dont refer to it as south europe all the time

No!

You should have said “outside THE americas” because it’s kinda confusing when you say “outside of America” because that is the most common word for the USA
They still are ignorant

The question is worded correctly.
This is simple English!
Are there countries *inside* of the USA🇺🇲 (your America)?

6:54 This is the only time I’ve heard Lingualizer be wrong about Geography.
This is where the stereotypes comes from 😢
The United Kingdom isn't technically a country. It's a KINGDOM it's like calling the European Union a country.
The countries are England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
That's why they play with those FOOTBALL teams and not the "United Kingdom" team.
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. The reason why England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have football teams instead of the UK is because those sport tournaments are for nations to compete, not countries, hence why also the Faroe Islands can play, although they're part of Denmark
Wait does the UK count as a quadruple monarchy?
@@lingualizer PS as others have said it- AMERICA= USA= Americans. You wouldn't call people of Canada as Americans. When you say outside of America that means other countries, If you had said outside of "THE AMERICAS", then that would mean continents. Or outside of North/South.Central America. you know what you were doing. PSS name all 50 states and where theyre located.

It always puzzles me that the population of a country always at war somewhere in the world don't even know basic geography.
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.

Why are they actually getting this wrong? I learned this in 5th grade
Actually Cuba and Puerto Rico (Antilles) technically is in North America not South America. Also number of continents is different based what you are taught in schools. It could be from 4 up to 7. Basically it depends how strictly you divide borders of continents (The Americas and Afroeurasia for example).
7 is the number of continents taught in America
@@Flawaffles here in my country Latvia we are taught 7 too. I just know that this isn't really a global consensus. I think in France they teach 5 continents for example. Which is interesting how ones view of the world can be different based on a country you live in.
@@Flawaffles It actually depends on where in the US. Seriously. It's so fucking annoying and illogical that it varies, but it does. One of my many peeves with the geography community as a Geography nut. It especially depends when it comes down to things like subcontinents. Is Mexico North or South America? Or you may have been taught it is Central America depending on where in the US you get taught. And Central America itself? Well, sometimes it's still a stand alone subcontinent with Mexico attached, sometimes without, or it's part of South America, part of North America... it's exhausting and nonsensical.
Okay, but honestly, "what counts as a country" is a legit question. You yourself count both UK and Scotland as a correct answer, so there's clearly an issue here. And there are definitely no definitive answers about how many countries there are.

@Lingualizer I'm curious. In your country, do you learn that the Caribbean is part of South America? In live in the USA and here we are taught the Caribbean is a region distinct from the Americas, but many times for the sake of convenience, it is often categorized as a sub-region of North America.

Ich hab damals noch in der Schule gelernt, dass es 5 Kontinente gibt: Europa, Asien, Afrika, Australien und Amerika.

"America" is what we call our country. No one in this hemisphere calls the grouping of north and south america "America"
Everyone does. Only Americans don't know that. In Brazil we learn the meaning of this word itself, because of it's Latin origins for us it's easy to recognise the meaning and if there was a country to be called America it should Costa Rica where Colombo named it (not even in Bahamas where he landed but in Costa Rica where he named it). There are seven continents: AFRICA, ASIA, EUROPE, AMERICA, OCEANIA, ANTARCTICA and the NORTH POLE.

You are 100% correct.
America is a single continent.

Actually there are 8 continents. In 2017 scientists from New Zealand found out that Oceania is 2 continents. So now the list of Continents is: Africa, Asia Antartica, Europa, North America, South America, Oceania ( Australia some call it) and Zealandia.
I was going to make a joke about Kiwis having continental envy of Australia, but then I googled Zealandia and it's actually fascinating. I learned something new, so my sincere thanks. Gives me something new and interesting to listen and learn about while I repair electronics.

„Name a Country- auschwitz „😳😳😳
But as non Americans can you name and locate where all the states are? or countries in South America?I think he reason is the US is so huge that we all know where the sates are but but most Europeans and others dont know, but they know where each country is cause they're right next to each other... of course that's easy.
To the question, name three countries outside America, I’m surprised that people are unable to remember North and South Korea (M*A*S*H), Vietnam (Platoon, Apocalypse Now), Irak, China or Japan, among others.
This should be a series called teaching Americans geography
There are FIVE continents, not seven. Europe, Asia, Africa, America and Oceania. North and South America are considered sub-continents and Antartica is considered as "terra nullius", not as a continent. Have you ever noticed the FIVE Olympics rings, one for each continent?
Him: "Mexico is a country within America" Her: "How do you know that"🤡

1:32 Is it Australia or Oceania?
Is Australia a continent? Yes and No. Geologically, Australia is a continent that consists of Australia (the country) and the island of New Guinea. New Zealand is in on a different continent, called Zealandia. And then there is the rest of the Pacific Islands that stand on deferent geological formations. That means two more continents.
We're discussing Geography not Geology. Saying the name of one the continents is Australia means that New Zealand and the rest of the islands in Central and South Pacific that are not part of the continent of Australia would not be part of any continent at all, which is a ridiculous notion for sovereign countries. So the right name is Oceania.
I know that in most English-speaking countries use the term "Australia", but don't you think that naming a hole geographic region by using the name of only one of the several geological formations it contains is degrading to those who live in the rest of them? e.g.If we ask someone from Luxembourg, Lichtenstein or Andorra "where's that" they'd answer "in Europe". Do you think someone from Fiji, Micronesia or New Zealand would answer "in Australia"? Would they like to hear that their country is "in Australia"? I doubt that!!!
So you ether call it Oceania or increase the number of the continents.
“Name a continent” “australia” “that’s correct” mfw

i'm an American, and this just hurts to hear... 0:41 like, how did he now know south africa or tanzania?
@lingualizer There are 12 countries in South America, Cuba and Puerto Rico are part of North America, not South
buenas, año 1.831 ingleses y franceses: Estos insultos, insultos e insultos, no se pueden llamar americanos, porque nosotros los verdaderos y únicos americanos y no nos pueden confundir con estos insultos, más insultos e insultos extras... Los llamaremos latinos , gentilicio del pueblo del Lacio en Italia. Historia del porque: Año 293 a. C. , gente involucrada en esos acontecimientos , Galia y los galos, Roma y los romanos, Lacio y los únicos latinos verdaderos y los traidores de los griegos que se hicieron llamar "los latinos"... hasta día de hoy se les conocen a los verdaderos americanos y mestizos de esa época como : cobardes traidores => latinos, haciendo referencia a los acontecimientos anteriormente mencionados.
Y ahora parten en dos el continente americano, como que eso realmente tuviese que ser así y el caso es que el mundo va a estar siempre en contra de los verdaderos americanos y apoyando al mundo anglosajón , como que fuesen realmente americanos de pura cepa... en fin. Para mi solo hay un continente :América , y pertenece solo a los nativos americanos, no un Norteamérica y Suramérica.
Una aclaración más: Sabiendo en Méjico de 1.831 que eso de latinos era un insulto, lo instauraron de igual forma para decir que ellos no eran lo mismo que los verdaderos americanos o dicho de otro modo : Latino en América significa = Poder blanco, haciendo referencia a que ellos son blancos y los demás son insultos, insultos e insultos , por ser estos nativos...
Feliz fin de semana.
bro I'm an american and I learned the continents in 3rd grade, what schools are these people going to 😭
No siquiera este tipo sabe de geografia basica. America del norte y america del sur no son contienentes sino subcontinentes. Los continentes reales son: America, Africa, Europa, Asia, Antartida, Atlántica y por ultimo Oceania

How many American countries are in The Americas (North and South America)?....
As an American who actually knows Geography, this is a pity

9:41 and you call yourself Afro-American. You don't know a country of Africa.
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
WHY CAN'T AMERICANS TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONTINENTS AND COUNTRIES!?
This is embarrassing. I'm happy I raised my son better. FFS!!!!
IT's not as bad as that. First of all 1/2 of those people were stoned so they don't count. If you asked them "are you high right now?" And eliminated the ones who laughed, then you'd get a better sample. Second, "America" means the USA to Americans, NOT North America, so you need to clarify and say "name 3 countries not in North or South America or the Caribbean." You created needless confusion. Many of these people couldn't have named 3 countries even if you made it clear so all you did was screw up your test.
Question is worded correctly.
If America was a country, are there countries *inside* of your America?
America is not a country or a nation. Therefore, 'American' is not a nationality or a citizenship, *officially.*
Furthermore, an American is from the Continent of America.
