I'm reviewing notes from my Intro to Interpreting class and we had a guest speaker come to speak to us about multiculturalism and she was absolutely fascinating! In the beginning, she showed us some interesting information which I am now going to share with you! Lucky! :)
If the World were a village of 100 it would look like this:
57 Asians 21 Europeans
14 Americans (North & South) 08 African Americans
52 females 48 males
70 non white 30 white
70 non Christian 30 Christian
89 heterosexual
11 homosexual
6 people would possess 59% of the worlds wealth, all from the US
80 in sub-standard housing
70 unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death, 1 near birth
1 would have a college education
1 would own a computer
What do you think?
