Can you pass the US Citizenship Test?

Honestly. If you weren't born here, would you, could you, be a citizen? Sure, if you studied the given questions like pending citizens are, but what about those of us who went to public school and learned (or was supposed to learn) this stuff in class?

This blog post has nothing to do with politics - really! This post has to do with schooling.

Japan, China.....what's the difference?

With all the news coverage of the tragedies in Japan, youngsters all over facebook are making comments. Some good, some bad. Unfortunately, most of these kids don't know the difference of the countries in the far east. China, Japan, Korea...they are not interchangeable. 

I'm sure Canadian's wouldn't want to be called American, or the Turks to be called German. Kids aren't learning their geography, or other country's cultures. They are learning segregation. 'Orientals' seem to be one culture/country to them. The countries of the far east are separate entities. 

You cannot complain about the shotty work of all our 'made in china' toys, and say that's a reason not to donate to Japan. You can't comment on the Vietnam war, and say Japan has no right to international assistance. There are 21 different territories and regions in this area of the world.

The Far East consists of:

• People's Republic of China
• Hong Kong
• Japan
• Macau
• Mongolia
• North Korea
• South Korea
• Republic of China
• Brunei
• Cambodia
• East Timor
• Indonesia
• Laos
• Malaysia
• Myanmar (Burma)
• New Guinea
• Philippines
• Singapore
• Thailand
• Vietnam
• Russia (Russian Far East)

Map of the Far East

It just proves to me how bad the public school system has failed when I see so many 'kids' referring to the Chinese when speaking about Japan.

Learning the different countries of our Earth should not be a foriegn concept in our schools. We are a very international country. If I was a visitor to another country, I can bet that I wouldn't be called French, or Mexican. Why do our children not know the difference? It's sad.

It's fine if you do not want to donate to other countries. It's fine if you choose not to assist others in need.  But, if you choose to make a reason for your decision, please make sure you have all your facts straight, and know WHO you are talking about. Otherwise, you just look.....stupid.

Thanks for reading my thoughts! <3
