    The world as 100 people

    If we could shrink the worlds population to a village of 100 people with all the existing human ratios the same it would look like this. There would be: 57 Asians 21 Europeans 14 from the Western Hemisphere 52 would be female 48 would be male 70 would be brown 17 would be white 13 would be black 21 would be atheist or profess no religion 19 would be Catholic Christian 15 would be other Christians 18 would be Muslim 13 would be Hindu 3 would practice Chinese traditional religion 2 would practice tribal religion 3 would represent all other religions of the world 59% of the entire worlds wealth would be in the hands of only 6 people and all 6 would be citizens of 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% would have a college education 1% would own a computer Source: http://www.luccaco.com/terra/terra.htm

    Weird stats. Very time consuming calculations if the numbers can be trusted.

    Carry it down to 30 people and it would be a great classroom activity.  Kids in American have no idea of these figures.  Would be a wake-up call, or at least, promote global thinking!!
