Put it into perspective, says this blog post: If you took the world's population and shrunk it to 100 people, this would be the make-up of that population:
57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the Western Hemisphere(both north and south),8 would be Africans
52 would be female, 48 would be male
70 would be non-white, 30 would be white
70 would be non-Christian, 30 would be Christian
89 would be heterosexual, 11 would be homosexual
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all 6 would be from the United States.
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death;
1 would be near birth;
1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education;
1 (yes, only 1) would own a computer.
