The World In Which We Live

"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

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

95 would be heterosexual

5 would be homosexual

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 (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."
