to a village of precisely 100 people,
with all the existing human ratios remaining the same,
it would look something like this:
There would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
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
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth
and all 6 would be from the US
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 (yes, only 1) would have a college education
2 would own a computer
WHEN ONE CONSIDERS OUR WORLD FROM SUCH A
COMPRESSED PERSPECTIVE, THE NEED FOR
UNDERSTANDING OF, ACCEPTANCE OF, AND EDUCATION
ABOUT OTHER CULTURES BECOMES GLARINGLY APPARENT.
