Village of 100 People

My MIL just sent me a website. Instead of huge statistics and percentages, it reduces the world's population to a village of 100 people. Here are the results. The demographics would come out something like this:

• 60 Asians
• 12 Europeans
• 5 US Americans and Canadians
• 8 Latin Americans
• 14 Africans

Want more?

• 49 would be female
• 51 would be male
• 82 would be non-white
• 18 white
• 5 would control 32% of the entire world's wealth (they'd all be US citizens)
• 80 would live in substandard housing
• 24 would not have electricity (and of the 76% that do, most would only use it for light at night)
• 67 would be unable to read
• 1 (only one!) would have a college education
• 50 would be malnourished and 1 dying of starvation
• 33 would be without access to a safe water supply
• 1 would have HIV
• 1 near death
• 2 near birth
• 7 people would have access to the Internet

Wow, do I feel like a minority!

The site had only a couple of other things on it that were interesting. If you want to see it, you can check it out here.
