~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A Summary of the World~~~~~~

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) and 8 Africans.
51 would be female; 49 would be male
70 would be nonwhite; 30 white.
70 would be non-Christian; 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 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
Only 1 would have a college education.
No one would own a computer

When one considers our world from such an incredibly compressed 
perspective, the need for both tolerance and understanding becomes 
glaringly apparent...

This was forwarded to me by a friend. If it makes sense to you, forward 
it to a friend.
