Something to Think About

If we could shrink the Earth’s population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing 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, 8 Africans

What religion would they be?
70 Non-Christian, 30 Christian

80 would live in substandard housing
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would own a computer

What gender would they be?
52 female, 48 male

What race would they be?
70 Non-White, 30 White

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

70 would be unable to read

1 (yes only 1) would have a college education

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