Overcoming Global Ignorance: Developing Geographic Literacy In A World Regional Geography Course, Amy Seymour
Overcoming Global Ignorance: Developing Geographic Literacy In A World Regional Geography Course, Amy Seymour
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The most recent Roper Survey (2006), a study of geographic literacy among 18-to 24-year-olds, found that despite constant coverage of the war in Iraq since 2003, 63% of Americans surveyed could not find Iraq on a map. Similar shortcomings abound in the poll, pointing to what must be considered a "geographic illiteracy" among Americans. This national geographic illiteracy has global implications that range from the local to the global scale, including issues of politics, economics, foreign policy, environmental policy, and resource use to name just a few.
