Global village

If the world were a village with 1,000 inhabitants, its population would be made up of:

• 60 North Americans
• 80 South Americans
• 86 Africans
• 210 Europeans
• 564 Asians
• 700 of the inhabitants would be coloured and 300 white
• 300 would be Christians
• 60 would own half the total wealth
• 500 would not have enough to eat
• 600 would live in slums
• 700 would be illiterate

If this village were our village, we would want it to change. In fact, this village is our village, since it is our world.
