Geographic Literacy Survey

[tiger20]

Americans ages 18 to 24 came in next to last among nine countries in the National Geographic-Roper 2002 Global Geographic Literacy Survey. Top scorers were young adults in Sweden, Germany, and Italy. Before you pass judgement on the youth in this country see if you can pass yourself.

I can't believe the outcome of that question....

"The United States of America is shown by the number..."

US wasn't even among the top 5 nations to answer that correctly!

And 97% of Mexico knew where Mexico was!

Sweden kicks ***!

19/20 - That Kashmir question got me. But now I know! :)
