Statistics

.
If the population of the Earth was reduced to that of a small town with 100 people,



it would look something like this:

57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 Americans
8 Africans
-
52 women
48 men
-
70 people of colour
30 caucasians
-
89 heterosexuals
11 homosexuals
-
6 people would own 59% of the whole world wealth
(and all of them would be from the United States of America)
80 would have bad living conditions
70 would be uneducated
50 underfed
1 would die
2 would be born
1 would have a computer
1 would have a higher education

If you woke up healthy this morning, then you are happier than the 1 million people that will not survive next week.
If you never suffered a war, the loneliness of the jail cell, the agony of torture, or hunger, you are happier than 500 million people in the world.
