IF THE WORLD WERE A VILLAGE OF 100 PEOPLE
59 would be Asian
14 would be American (North, Central and South)
14 would be African
12 Europeans
1 = South Pacific
50 women, 50 men
30 children, 70 adults.
70 nonwhite, 30 white
90 heterosexuals, 10 homosexuals
33 Christians
21 Moslems
15 Hindus
6 Buddhists
5 Animists
6 = other religions
14 atheists.
15 speak Chinese, Mandarin
7 English
6 Hindi
6 Spanish
5 Russian
4 Arabic
3 Bengali
3 Portuguese
Others speak Indonesian, Japanese,
German, French, etc
Of the 100 people in this village:
20 = undernourished
1 = dying of starvation, while 15 = overweight.
Wealth in this village:
6 people own 59% (US) ,
74 people own 39%,
20 people share the remaining 2%.
Of the energy of this village, 20 people consume 80%, and 80 people share the remaining 20%.
20 have no clean, safe water to drink.
56 have access to sanitation
15 adults are illiterate.
1 has an university degree.
7 have computers.
In one year, 1 person in the village will die, but in the same year, 2 babies will be born, so that at the year's end the number of villagers will be 101.
If you do not live in fear of death by bombardment, armed attack, landmines, or of rape or kidnapping by armed groups, then you are more fortunate than 20, who do.
If you can speak and act according to your faith and your conscience without harassment, imprisonment, torture or death, then you are more fortunate than 48, who can not.
If you have money in the bank, money in your wallet and spare change somewhere around the house, then you are among the richest 8.
