Earth ratio

    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 something like the following:

    There would be -
    57 Asians
    21 Europeans
    14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south America
    8 Africans

    52 would be female
    48 would be male

    70 would be non-white (asian/eastern)
    30 would be white (anglo/hispanic)

    70 would be non-Christian
    30 would be Christian (includes catholic)

    89 would be heterosexual
    11 would be homosexual

    6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth, and all 6
would be from the United States
   80 would live in substandard housing
    7 would be totally homeless
    2 would have air conditioning

    70 would be unable to read or write

    50 would suffer from malnutrition
    10 would have very good health
    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."
