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

                57 Asians
                21 Europeans
                14 from the western hemisphere, both north and south
                8 Africans
 
                52 would be females
                48 would be males
 
                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 people would possess 59% of the entire world's weath 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 ( yes, only one) would have a college education
                1 would own a computer

When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for both acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.
