Adjusting Our Perspectives to World Realities
If we could at this time shrink the earth's population to a
village of precisely 100 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 & South America), and 8 Africans.
- Seventy would be non-white, thirty white.
- Seventy would be non-Christian, thirty Christian.
- Half of the entire world wealth would be in
the hands of only 6 people,
and all 6 would be citizens of the United States.
- Seventy would be unable to read,
fifty would suffer from malnutrition, and
eighty would live in sub-standard housing.
- Only one would have a college education.
When one considers our world from such an incredibly
compressed perspective, the need for both tolerance and
understanding becomes glaringly apparent.
