According to the University of Wisconsin if we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, there would be; 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the Western Hemisphere, both North and South, and eight Africans. Of all these people, 52 would be female, and 48 would be male; 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; six people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all six would be from the United States.
Eighty of all these people would live in substandard housing; 70 would be unable to read; 50 would suffer from malnutrition; one would be near death; one would be near birth; one would have a college education; and one would own a computer. If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world. If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet and in a spare change dish someplace you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.
