Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 The World - A Different Perspective If we could 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) 8 Africans. 51 would be female; 49 would be male. 70 would be non-whites, 30 white. 70 would be non-Christians; 30 Christian. 50% of the entire world's wealth would be in the hands of only 6 people (and all 6 would be citizens of the U.S.) 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. Only 1 would have a college education. No one would own a computer. Unknown author Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The men landed on the moon almost 36 years ago and the world changed little. I wonder when the unknown author wrote this. I wonder If the One campaign by Bono will reach the critical mass. I wonder if he might get the Nobel peace prize. I wonder about many things.. Ana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
