<<<Couldn't disagree more. Other than University grads, Americans know little about the world outside of America. Of all the developed countries, Americans probably travel outside of their own country, the least, . Only around 7% of Americans even have a passport, compare to over 50% of Brits, and 70% in Belguim and Holland. The excuse that America is such a vast country doesn't wash either when over 50% of Australians have passports and 19% of them travel overseas each year.>>> I think the notion of the unexposed Americans is overdone and a bit dated. More than 11% of Americans are foreign born so presumably they know something of other cultures: quickfacts.census.gov Also I believe the 7% figure for US passport holders is low, I have read it's in the teens. Regardless, US citizens can visit Canada and Mexico (Combined with the US an area much larger than Western Europe) without a passport (This is changing..) and be exposed to at least 3 different languages and a wide variety of cultures.
