If we could shrink the Earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people.... with all 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) and 8 Africans.

52 would be female; 48 would be male

70 would be nonwhite; 30 white.

70 would be non-Christian; 30 Christian.

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.

Only one would own a computer

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