I think mostly because geography is not a mandatory subject to take.\n\nSecondly, America is like "the center of the world". People around the world are so fascinated with our country, want to learn more about it, follow our fashion sense, listen to our music and watch our movie.Thus, what's the point to learn about other countries if everybody looks up to us.\nIgnorant?Definetely but can't really blame the  Americenter phenomenon.\n\nI was born in Asia. Everytime i mentioned the country,nobody rarely knows where it is.\nAt first, I was a lil' upset but now, I'm so use to it.\n\nPeople always pay attention to something that stands out (e.g:America)and rarely pay attention to something unimportant (e.g: smaller countries)

Right, that is because they do not know their geography.  America is a continent (not a country) which includes:  all of North, South & Central America - not just the United States. And Mexico, Canada & United States are all part of North America.

NY was the worst...  Va Beach and Boston were great.  I live in GA and us Southerners are pretty hospitable.... but I might be biased...

Many problems are caused by urban sprawl. My favorite (least favorite problem) problem is that what were once kept up neighborhoods fall into decay/ abandonment. And are eventually torn down as opposed to rehabbed/renovated. Then no one lives in those buildings. What a waste! Also, original dwellers move to the country to deplete the country side and animal habitat and turn that into a city. Then eventually urban sprawl takes place there and people move farther out into the country and the process continues.

I think the world is round. Have you been outside of your room even? If the world was flat, you would be flooded, he he. Why are there mountains if the world is flat? Really you can't even answer my question? Try going to the library and actually do some research. Gotta go. Rock.

Every square inch of the world's land was stolen from someone, except for antartica.  Mexico had the southwest before us.  Before Mexico had it someone else had it.  \n\nGet over it, and stop trashing the United States.  The Mexicans like the areas we took from Mexico better than they like the areas we didn't take.

Speak for yourself.  You're to fat, lazy, and stupid to type or spell  correctly.  And your opinions reflect your stupidity and laziness.  America is the greatest country on earth.  We have done more good for the world than all other countries put together.

We are pretty darn ignorant of our surroundings. 89% of America did not know where Afganistan was prior to 9/11.\n\n40% still don't.

A failed state is when your Senate can't tell the difference between the United States and Mexico because they got hired in spite of failing every geography class they ever took! LOL Just kidding...

By "some" people you must mean "American people"....Everyone knows that as a general rule Americans are geographically ignorant, as well as culturally challenged. (soz but it's da tooth)

i cant give you exact amount of miles of land, but canada is bigger than the us. however, the us has more people. the population of the us is roughly 300 million; whereas canada is about 30 million. only 10 percent!

I may not be able to tell you a direct answer, but when over 50% of American 18-24 year olds can not find IRAQ on a WORLD MAP, there is a problem.  This is only coming from a concerned college level student, but also a geography major!
