This is remarkable:
If you would shrink the world's population (ca. 6.3 billion), to the size of a village with 100 people then:
- 57 would be Asian, 21 would be European, 14 would be American and 8 would be African
- 52 would be female, 48 would be male
- 30 would be white and 70 would be people of colour
- 30 would be christian 70 wouldn't be
- 89 would be heterosexual 11 would be homosexual
- 59% of the world's wealth would be owned by 6 people who would all come from the USA
- 80 people would have sub-standard-housing
- 50 would suffer from starvation
- Just one person would own a computer
- Just one person would have had an academic education
Pretty amazing, isn't it...
I'm surprised that only one person would have an education. I would have thought that number would be between 5 - 10. Goes to show...

its a rather neat way to bring the ideas down to earth and make them fathomable.
