well, most 'americans' or whatever youd like to call people that live in north america couldnt show you lots of things on a map, or globe.

most of the population loses its knowledge of history, math, science, etc. it depends on their lifestyle and career.

theres a quote albert einstein has about this and its very valid to an extent. ill find it in a sec.

edit..I was wrong about the quote, but it here it is anyways.

"Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans themselves."
