The Pew Research Center offers you the opportunity to “test how much you know about the worldwide image of the United States” by taking a 10 question multiple choice quiz. After completing the quiz, I encourage you to learn the story behind each of the questions.
So What?
For me completing this quiz was an exercise in humility; I scored 60%, answering just 6 of the 10 questions correctly. When one lives within an empire, a culture, or a worldview it is all too easy to see the world only through that perspective. By understanding what those outside one’s own empire, culture or worldview think of those who hold it, one can learn a great deal.
- What did you learn about the USA as a result of completing the quiz and reading the associated article?
- As a Christian, how have you benefited from seeking to better understand how non-Christians think about Christianity?
