Explain in one paragraph the importance of having geographic literacy?

Geographic literacy is important in much the same way "literacy" in general is important. It is a sign (a pretty good one) of your educational level. If someone is taking about Portugal, for example, and you say something indicating that you think Portugal is in Asia, you will look stupid. No one will talk to you anymore about anything serious.
Knowing where every single country in the world is would be a lot to ask of anyone, but having "basic geographic literacy" means that you should be able to at least get the right continent whenever someone expects you to roughly know where a country is located. Also, for countries that are in or have been in the news a lot, you should know where they are.
If you are American (USA), you have a big advantage. The USA goes just about everywhere! I am not going to jump on the bandwagon and say that they go to take over the world, but they do send troops and aid to a lot of places.
