My personal blog is: http://www.relearnamerica.com.

I conducted this video survey at a university campus. I wanted to see how much the average college student or professor knew about the history of America and what's going on in government today.

  • Epic idiocy? These are common things most people would struggle with. Does not noticing who is on what bill make a person stupid?? If so then you can make anybody look dumb by asking them enough questions and only showing the ones they fail to answer correctly.

    Go to Denmark and ask people, go to Japan. You'll get the same results.

  • @AshtonPhoto For the record, I have not included every question I asked in this video (some of them will be shown in Part 2). Some of their answers to these questions showed more depth of thought and logic. But as for the questions and answers here, I included almost all of their answers.

  • everyone pretty much answered the questions right. are we a free a country is more of a matter of opinion because what makes us free.

  • @AshtonPhoto I can name the americans, and being from denmark there are no people on the bills well not any more,(the queen on the coin ofc)

  • That was one question no one could answer when i asked. What makes you a 'free' country?

  • this is actually kinda good for nationalisation test preperation XD and to think every 'non-american' knows more than the americans themselves....

  • @evoman1776 Matter of fact I am.

  • @AshtonPhoto No.

  • @XdynomightX

    you are most stupid at all...you ruined yourself....not immigrants....I mean look at you...just stay in america and do not come over to any parts of the world....greetings from germany

  • pretty weird asking trivia questions instead of things that matter , in the beginning:P

  • @AshtonPhoto I don't want to start an argument, but I'm Italian and I could have pointed every single country the girl mentioned on a map, no problem. Now that we have the euro they no longer put famous people on banknotes, but back when we had the lira I certainly knew who the people portrayed on the various bills were. The level of general knowledge in America may actually be lower than in other parts of the world; of course, that doesn't mean Americans are stupid.

  • @heartless747900 If America hadn't used 2 nuclear bombs, nazis might rule the world.
