Something to think about...
If we could at this very moment
shrink the earth’s population to a village of precisely 100 but
all the existing ratios remain the same, it would look something like
this:
• There would be:
- 57 Asians
- 21 Europeans
- 14 Western Hemisphere people
(North and South Americans)
- 8 Africans
• 70 of the 100 would be
non-white; 30 would be white.
• 70 of the 100 would be
non-Christian; 30 would be Christian.
• 50 percent of the entire
world’s wealth would be in the hands of 6 people, and all six
would be citizens of the United States;
• 70 would be unable to read;
50 would suffer malnutrition;
• 80 would live in substandard
housing and only one would have a university education.
When we consider our world from
such an incredible compressed perspective, the need for both
tolerance and understanding becomes glaringly apparent.
