The World Reduced

If we could reduce the world’s population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all existing human ratios remaining the same, the demographics would look something like this:

60 Asians

12 Europeans

5 North Americans

8 Latin Americans

14 Africans

49 of them would be female

51 would be male

67 of them would not be Christians

5 would control 32% of the entire world’s wealth, and all of them would be US citizens

80 would live in substandard housing

24 would not have any electricity(And of the 76% that do have electricity, most would only use it for light at night.)

67 would be unable to read

1 (only one) would have a college education.

50 would be malnourished and 1 dying of starvation

33 would be without access to a safe water supply

7 people would have access to the Internet

If to take a look at the world from this condensed perspective,the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes evident.

If you have never experienced a war,
a loneliness of an imprisonment,
an agony of tortures
or a famine
You are happier, than 500 million persons in this world.

Let us not be stopped by that which divides us but look for that which unites us
