As ignorant as these people are they are still (from my dearth experiences) the gross minority. Even though they are blundering fools, they should not and do not represent the greater part of America. This production was made for the sake of ratings. Jaywalking is known for exposing people's stupidity: they could very well have interviewed thrice as many people before they uncovered enough blatant stupidity fit for TV.
I’d beg to differ; USA scores the lowest in national average IQ among the developed countries of the world, at a national average score of 98. The data is obtained from IQ and Global Equality by Dr. Richard Lynn (professor of Psychology, University of Ulster, Northern Ireland) and Dr. Tatu Vanhanen (University of Tampere, Finland) who have done extensive research on the subject spanning several years. The national average IQ score of Americans at 98 is below 22 countries (including Switzerland, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, North Korea and China). The low Intelligence Quotient (IQ) score of United States puts the Americans at a lower intelligence level on an average as compared to the other industrialized nations. So what we are looking at in this video, sadly enough is actually the gross majority of the U.S.
It's sad to think that someone that is that ignorant is trused with the education at one of the highest levels in America. The majority of Americans, however, do not know a lot about their own history. They know more about their media figures than they know about the history of their country. I find it disheartening to think about how our education level has been decreasing and thinking about what we will be like in 10,20, 50 years.
I love j walking because it shows how dumb some people really are. It also makes me feel smart because these people are idiots. I think it is sad that one of theose ladies was a college teacher and she couldnt even answer the questions. Lets just hope she is a english teacher not a history teacher or we are in serious trouble.
