Now that the euphoria of Arty and Poltergeist have reached their respective milestones and are now racing each other to see what the next milestone may be think about this.
If we could shrink the earth’s population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing ratios remaining the same, it would look something like this:
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
and all 6 would be from the USA
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
30 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.
