The World

If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all of the existing human ratios remaining the same,

it would look something like the following:

Where would they be from:

57 Asians

21 Europeans

14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south

8 Africans

What gender would they be?

52 would be female

48 would be male

Race??

70 would be non-white

30 would be white

Religion??

70 would be non-Christian

30 would be Christian

6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all 6 would be from the United States.

80 would be in substandard housing

70 would be unable to read

50 would suffer from malnutrition

1 (Yes, only 1) would have a college education

1 would own a computer

 

When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.
