Extended question:
Americas are bought up to learn nothing but American history and significant events in world history. We don’t learn anything about any other countries: Canada, Britain, France, New Zealand, Belguim…NONE OF THEM!!
I have a couple of Canadian friends and they know a lot about American history. WHY!?? I don’t understand it at all.
I was in the Navy and visited Phillipines, Singapore, Greece, Bahrain, Dubai, Kuwait, Portugal, and Germany. (iraq doesnt count
p )
And the people in these countries know about the things going on in America. They asked if I was for Obama or Hillary, they asked so many question and talked about America like they were from here.
I plan on moving to Canada to go to college with some of my friends. Am I going to see a lot of American news on the tele’ and a little bit of Canadian news?
Someone just explain to me why America is a lot of countries focus?
Im not bashing anyone or their country, I just want to know why.

People, do me a favor and read what she wrote to me. Okay, in college we learn a lot about other countries if we take a class devoted to that, but from K-12 we learn mostly USA history and some world history.
…..then again, you do look like your in your 50’s so maybe the educational system was different when you were in school.
….sigh one person had to try to bash on me; I was only curious as to why this was so. Everyone elses answers are very informative.
