If we could,
at this time, 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.
70 would be non-white; 30 white.
70 would be non-Christian; 30 Christian.
50% of the entire world
wealth would be in the hands of only 6 people.
All 6 would be
citizens of the United States.
70 would be unable to read.
50 would suffer from malnutrition.
80 would live in sub-standard housing.
Only 1 would have a college education.
When one considers our world from such an incredibly compressed
perspective, the need for both
tolerance and
understanding becomes glaringly apparent.
