If We Could Shrink The World by omoajiri(m): 10:03pm On Sep 11, 2015 |
If we could Shrink the World If we could shrink the earth to a village with a population of precisely 100 people with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, 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-Christian 30 would be Christian 70 would be non-white 30 would be white 89 would be heterosexual 11 would be homosexual 6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and would be from the United States 80 would live in sub-standard 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 University education 1 would own a computer When we consider our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent. It you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation - you are ahead of 500 million people in the world. If you can attend a social event without fear, harassment, arrest, torture or death you are more blessed than three billion people in the world. If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep - you are richer than 75% of the world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet and spare change in a dish someplace - you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy. |
