If we took 100 people and fitted them in accord with the general world population, we would have this demographic review:

It Takes a Village...

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 something 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 and all 6 would be from the United States
	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 both acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.
