BE THANKFUL THAT YOU ARE MUCH BETTER OFF THAN MOST PEOPLE

If you could fit the entire population of the world into a village consisting of 100 people, maintaining the proportions of all the people living on Earth, that village would consist of:
57 Asians;
21 Europeans;
14 Americans (North, Central and South);
8 Africans.

There would be:
52 women and 48 men;
30 Christians and 70 non-Christians;
89 heterosexuals and 11 homosexuals;
6 people would possess all of the wealth and they would all come from the USA;
80 would live in poverty;
70 would be illiterate;
50 would suffer from hunger and malnutrition;
1 would be dying while one was being born;
1 would own a computer;
1 would have a university degree (yes, only one).
