Now That's A Global Village !


"If the world were a village of a thousand people, it would consist of 520 females and 480 males, 330 children, 60 people above the age of 65, 10 college graduates and 335 illiterate adults...
The village would contain 52 North Americans, 55 Russians, 84 Latin Americans, 95 Eastern and Western Europeans, 124 Africans and 584 Asians...

Communication would be difficult because 165 people would speak Mandarin, 86 English, 83 Hindi/Urdu, 64 Spanish, 58 Russian and 37 Arabic while the rest would speak one of over 200 other languages...

There would be 329 Christians, 178 Muslims, 132 Hindus, 62 Buddhists, 3 Jews, 167 Non Religious, 45 Atheists and 84 others..."
