<< If we could shrink the world's population to a village of precisely 100
people
with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look 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

89 would be heterosexual; 11 would be homosexual

6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth
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
acceptance, understanding, and education becomes glaringly apparent.
