The Minature Earth

(i lifted this from another blog)
If we could turn the population of the earth into a small community of 100 people, keeping the same proportions we have today, it would be something like this:

61 Asians
12 Europeans
14 Americans (from North and South)
13 Africans
01 Australian (Oceania)

50 women
50 men

10 are homosexuals

33 are Christian (Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox)
18 are Muslims
16 are Hindus
16 are non-religious
06 are Buddhists
11 practice other religions

41 live without basic sanitation
16 live without an improved water source

06 people own 59% of the entire wealth of the community

13 are hungry or malnourished
14 can't read
Only 7 are educated at a secondary level
Only 8 have a computer
Only 4 have an internet connection

1 adult, aged 15-49, has HIV/AIDS.

Of the village's total annual expenditures of just over
US$ 3,000,000 per year
US$ 181,000 is spent on weapons and warfare
US$ 159,000 is spent on education
US$ 132,000 is spent on health care

If you keep your food in a refrigerator
and your clothes in a closet
if you have a roof over your head
and have a bed to sleep in
You are richer than 75% of the entire world population
You're one of the 30 wealthiest people in the world
if you have a bank account

25 struggle to live on US$ 1.00 per day or less...
47 struggle to live on US$ 2.00 per day or less.
