Embarrassing As 50% Of Americans Can't Find North Korean On The Map, is it That they are not Taught Geography(Video)
Embarrassing, about 50% of Americans can't locate North Korea on a world map, it is believed about 90% of Americans will support sending missile to North Korea to blow up their ass but if a mere citizen is asked to push the button and send it to North Korea, i wonder how they are to implement it, when they can't even identify North Korea on world map.
It amazes me that the american education system is much more of a open and easy one unlike in Hong kong where you just learn what the teacher writes on the board. In America, you discuss the issues and focus more on ideas.
Jimmy Kimmel on a CNN sponsored poll went live to know how many American fellows knew geography better. .To his surprise his guess might just be true.
Watch the skit....
Is high time Americans start learning; though few of them are bouyant in intellects.

Some comments below extracted from bored panda and youtube explained it all.
Some citizens stand to defend their country, while some where attacking each other.
Some questions asked are, "Do you guys have school in America?",
another one Said, "am starting to see how trump won the election".
Simon peter said, "In fairness, I'm a law degree holding legal professional in the U.K, but I don't have any idea where North Korea is specifically; maybe its something to do with us chiefly seeking out the knowledge that is useful to us on a daily basis.

Watch and contribute your own cent.
Some took it personal and defended their country while some saw it as hillarious as it was which any common man can fail.

This is quite funny, but at the same time maybe its the content that is taught in Geography that needs to change. I managed to pass my Geography GCSE in England but wouldn't be able to locate it on the map either. I don't know how Geography is taught in America but in England it is very 'old school' focusing more on case studies than locations and capitals.
