If The World Was A Village

If we shrank the Earth’s population to a village of 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, (North and South America) 

• 8 Africans

• 52 would be female 

• 48 would be male

• 70 would be non-white 

• 30 would be white 

• 70 would be non-Christian 

• 30 would be Christian

• 89 would be heterosexual 

• 11 would be homosexual 

• 6 would possess 59% of the entire world’s wealth; all 6 would be from the United States.

• 80 would live in substandard housing 

• 70 would be unable to read

• 50 would suffer from malnutrition 

• 1 would be near death

• 1 would be near birth 

• 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 apparent.
