If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, there would be:

*57 Asians
*21 Europeans
*14 from the Western Hemisphere, northern and southern
* 8 Africans
*52 would be female
*48 would be male
*70 would be non-white
*30 would be white
*70 would be non-Christian
*30 would be Christian
*89 would be heterosexual
*11 would be homosexual
* 6 would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all 6 would be from 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

If you consider our world from this compressed perspective, the need for acceptance,understanding and education is clear.
