Village of 100

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 like this:

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 white

70 would be non-Christian, 30 would be Christian

89 would be heterosexual, 11 homosexual

59% of the entire world's wealth would be in the hands of only 6 people and
all 6 would be citizens of 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

Only 1 would have a college education and Only 1 would own a computer.

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