I found this National Geographic servey which sarteled me.
Americans are far from alone in the world, but from the perspective of many young Americans, we might as well be. Most young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 demonstrate a limited understanding of the world, and they place insufficient importance on the basic geographic skills that might enhance their knowledge.

Young Americans answer about half (54 percent) of all the survey questions correctly. But by and large, majorities of young adults fail at a range of questions testing their basic geographic literacy.

Only 37% of young Americans can find Iraq on a map—though U.S. troops have been there since 2003.
6 in 10 young Americans don't speak a foreign language fluently.
20% of young Americans think Sudan is in Asia. (It's the largest country in Africa.)
48% of young Americans believe the majority population in India is Muslim. (It's Hindu—by a landslide.)
Half of young Americans can't find New York on a map.

I'm not talking about relatives or loved ones. I mean like childhood friends, or anybody who would/could date you if you chose, like a co worker or neighbor/friend.

He always says nothing when it comes to buying him presents. I have asked for new dishes this year. I don't know what a good present would be to get him, he's a brick mason, works outside.
