| If the world were a village of 100 people If the world's population of nearly five billion people was reduced to a village of 100 people, this would be the result: Area 58 would be Asians 12 would be Africans 10 would be Western Europeans 8 would be Latin Americans 5 would be North Americans 1 would be Australian or New Zealander Language 17 people would speak Mandarin 9 people would speak English 8 people would speak Hindi or Urdu 6 people would speak Russian 6 people would speak Spanish 4 people would speak Arabic The rest would speak Bengali, Portuguese, Indonesian, Japanese, German, French, and 200 other languages! Religion 29 would be Christians 17 would have no religion 14 would be Moslems 13 would be Hindus 12 would be Buddhists 9 would be Confucian and Shinto 5 would be Animist (traditional) 1 would be Jewish Education 70 would be illiterate 1 would have a college education Health 50 would be malnourished 33 would not have clean, safe drinking water This is an excerpt from "Unheard Voices: Celebrating Cultures from the Developing World, a Guide for Introducing Global Education to the Classroom", developed by the Wisconsin/Madison RPCV (Returned Peace Corps Volunteers) group. |
