If The World Were A Village Of 100 People...

The other day, my Geography teacher set us some homework:

 I quite like Geography as a school subject, so when I got around to doing the homework, I was truly fascinating by what I found out! Here are just some of the many statistics that I found out, many of which are just so astonishing:

61 villagers would be Asian
14 villagers would be American

13 villagers would be African
12 villagers would be European
1 villager would be Oceanic

33 villagers would be Christian
19 villagers would be Muslim
13 villagers would be Hindu
6 villagers would be Buddhist
5 villagers would believe that there were spirits in all natures
24 villagers would be atheists or other religions

17 villagers would speak Chinese
9 villagers would speak English
8 villagers would speak Hindi
6 villagers would speak Russian
6 villagers would speak Spanish
50 villagers would speak other languages

52 villagers would be female
48 villagers would be male

99 villagers wouldn't have a college education
1 villager would have a college education

83 villagers would have access to safe, clean water
17 villagers wouldn't have access to safe, clean water

68 villagers would breathe clean air
32 villagers would breathe polluted air

50 villagers wouldn't have a reliable source of food
30 villagers would always have enough to eat
20 villagers would be undernourished
15 villagers would be overweight
1 villager would be dying of starvation

90 villagers would be heterosexual
10 villagers would be homosexual

2 villagers would be born (per year)
1 villager would die (per year)


86 villagers would be able to read
14 villagers wouldn't be able to read

76 villagers would have electricity
24 villagers wouldn't have electricity

93 villagers wouldn't have computers
7 villagers would have computers

66 villagers would be aged between 15-64
26 villagers would be aged between 0-14
8 villagers would be aged 65 or over

70 villagers would be non-white
30 villagers would be white

75 villagers would have food and shelter
25 villagers wouldn't have food and shelter


But even though these statistics are dramatically adverse, all 7 billion of us on Earth are humans, and therefore we should all have equal opportunities...
