World View

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 the following.

There would be:

• 57 Asians
• 21 Europeans
• 14 from the Western Hemisphere, both North and South America
• 8 Africans
• 52 would be female
• 48 would be male
• 70 would be nonwhite
• 30 would be white
• 70 would be non-Christian
• 30 would be Christian
• 80 would live in substandard housing
• 6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all 6 would be from the United States.
• 70 would be unable to read
• 50 would suffer from malnutrition
• 1 would be near death
• 1 would be near birth
• 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 both acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.
