What if the world were a village
of 100 people?
If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely
100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would
look like this. There would be:
-
57 Asians
-
21 Europeans
-
14 from the Western Hemisphere (North andSouth America)
-
8 Africans
-
52 would be female
-
48 would be male
-
70 would be non white, 30 white
-
70 would be non-Christian, 30 would be Christian
-
89 would be heterosexual, 11 homosexual
-
59% 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 and
-
Only 1 would own a computer.
Do you think legalization of marijuana, distribution
of heroin or injection rooms would be on top of the agenda in such a global
village?
With 70 out of 100 being unable to read, with 50 out of 100 suffering
from malnutrition, and only one out of 100 having a college education,
the directors of Snake Oil Ltd. would be out of business or stoned because
they wouldn't know how to handle the situation, very much in the same way
as they don't know how to handle the drug problems today.
We would need sober people, focusing on the real problems, to run the
global village as we need sober people, focusing on the real problems,
to develop any nation today.
