If we could shrink the earth’s population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like this…..
There would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere (both north and south)
8 Africans
52 would be female
48 would be male
70 would be non-white
30 would be white
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world’s wealth and all 6 would be from the United States
80 would live in sub-standard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death
1 would be near birth
1 (yes 1) would have a college education
1 would own a computer
When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for the acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.
