If we could shrink the earth's population to a village
of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human
ratios remaining the sameas much as possible without using fractions, it
would look something
like the following.
There would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
=A0 8 Africans
=A0 52 would be female
=A0 48 would be male
=A0 70 would be non-white
=A0 30 would be white
=A0 70 would be non-Christian
=A0 30 would be Christian
=A0 89 would be heterosexual
=A0 11 would be homosexual
=A0=A0 6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's
=A0 =A0=A0 wealth and all 6 would be from the United States.
=A0 80 would live in substandard housing
=A0 70 would be unable to read
=A0 50 would suffer from malnutrition
=A0=A0 1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
=A0=A0 1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education
=A0=A0 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.
The following is also something to ponder...
If you woke up this morning with more health than
illness...you are more blessed than the million who
will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle,
the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture,
or the pangs of starvation ... you are ahead of 500
million people in the world.
