Why americans don't know morocco ?

Question

it seems like american dont know about ppl outside usa

Answer 1

do you know Russia?  how about Japan?

Answer 2

Wow, I think you are stereotyping americans by saying that.  Not everybody is like that.

Answer 3

Please do not lump ALL American's in one unwarranted generalization.

Granted you might of had a bad experience with one or more American's but it is unfair to judge an entire group of people based on several isolated incidents.

Answer 4

i know americans outside of usa.  but most are 2 lazy!!!

Answer 5

A lot of people, not just Americans don't know much about places they don't live or haven't visited.  Before I met my husband the only thing I knew about Morocco was the movie "Casablanca" was filmed there.  I got on the internet and started looking at different cities in Morocco.  Now that I went there to get married and stayed for 3 months I know more.  Do you honestly know something about every country and continent there is?  There are many countries I know the name of, but I know very little if anything about them.

Answer 6

Actually all Americans know Morocco because you can't go into a chatroom without some Moroccan guy PMing you asking you to marry him so he can leave morocco!

Answer 7

Of course we do. Morrocco is far away though, just like many othe countries! I bet you yourself don't know about some countries, or never bother to think about some. How about Andorra?

We're all human, after all.

Answer 8

Because half of us dont!! I know Morocco though :-) North west of Africa

Answer 9

because its true.... americans like america... so they pretty much dont care about other countries

Answer 10

it s worthe not knowing

Answer 11

Because the U.S.  is isolated from many other areas and only accessible if you have money to travel many areas are not well known only from books or TV.  People in Europe often forget that they are able to drive to other countries in the same regards as Americans are able to drive to other states.  It isn't always because Americans wish to be ignorant of other regions as much as the distance and large spans of ocean that makes the ability to travel a higher expense and therefore not as well known.  There are some people in the U.S. that never leave the region they were born in and even think places like Texas or Florida are foreign countries.

Answer 12

that would depend on the american that you talk to

Answer 13

yeah usa people don't  about three quartor of africa...i  dont mean they should visit the countries but i mean they should at least know where they are located...it seems as if they not aware of many african countries just cause most americans just focus on what they see on the news so they think everywhere and everyplace in africa are having the same issues...

well maybe it just depends on each persons' interest...but honestly the majority really know nothing about africa. never mind morocco on its own... only the ones that have moroccan friends or wives and husbands....you dont need to wait for that before you know about else where...

Answer 14

Well, Canada is USA's neighbor, and yet, the average american doesn't know a thing about it.

Answer 15

Morocco is a country, not a person first of all. If you mean about the people of Morocco, well then one must ask "Do they know about us?" Americans study different cultures in school. Whether they choose to retain it or not when they grow old is their problem, not the countries.

Answer 16

In american many of todays youth are grown up learning mostly about American history other than history of other countries. they touched up on a few subjects like greece and egypt but never get into detail about other countries. they have the choice to learn about those countries but because of all the stuff in american open to youth (I.e myspace, facebook, etc) they choose to talk to friends or watch funny videos instead of looking into the world around them.

Answer 17

It depends on who you are talking to.  Not everyone in the USa will about every country.

Answer 18

Yeah, most Americans are ignorant and know nothing about the world.

Answer 19

Americans tend not to worry about things that don't affect their everyday life. Few people can even find Morocco on a map.

Answer 20

We don't know Morocco for the same reason you don't know Markleeville Nevada.

Answer 21

i know where morocco is, it's in northern africa, south of spain.

Answer 22

who or what is morocco

Answer 23

cuz they dont care about other countries
