If we could turn the population of the earth into a small community of 100 people, keeping the same proportions we have today ..
- 47 people would live in an urban area.
- 18 people would be Muslim.
- 14 would not be illiterate.
- 1 adult aged 15-49 would have HIV/AIDS.
- 9 people would be disabled.

I chose these 5 facts because these are the ones that surprised me the most. Almost half of the community would live in an urban area and I thought that number would be a lot lower. Also, the fact that 14 people would not be able to read surprises me too.

- To turn the population to 100 it wouldbe 61 Asians, 12 europeans, 8 north americans, 5 south americans & the carribean 13 African  and 1 from oceania, 50 women, 50 men

- If I have food in my refigerator, a closet with my clothes and a bed to sleep on i would be richer than 75% of the population.

- I learned that there is a great amount of poverty in the world


I picked these three reasons because it is something that really surprises me. It surprised me becaues i wouldve never figures that there was that amount of poverty around the world. It was interesting to find out the numbers of each country that would be combined into one population.

1) Coca-Cola: Corkers at Coca-Cola bottling plants have had their safety threatened and even been murdered by Colombian paramilitaries for trying to unionize.

2) Gateway: Gateway has faced lawsuits and been investigated by the federal government for insider trading, overstated earnings, and misleading investors about financial statements.

3) TimberLand:  A factory that manufactured shoes for Timberland in China was caught using child labor, providing no health benefits, and requiring long work hours from its employees. Timberland offers its employees thousands of dollars in incentives to purchase hybrid cars and sabbaticals for employees who want to pursue a dream that benefits the community.

4) Exxon Mobile: Exxon's record of toxic spills, human rights abuses, and overall disregard for corporate responsibility principles have earned it a spot at the top of Co-op America's list of the world's most egregious corporations.

5) BMW: BMW has made innovations such as the recycling of methane gas to fuel 25 percent of its manufacturing operations, and using flax, hemp, jute, and other natural fibers as a base for its interior components

1.  If you have a bed to sleep in nd aclothes to wear nd food to eat everyday and a roof over your head then you are richer then 75% of the entire worlds population.
       I picked this one because most people dont realize what they have and take it for granted. when they shouldnt. what you have may not seem like much to you but it is more then enough to some one who dont have much, or even anything.

2. 18 struggle to live on the U.S 1.00$ per day or less.
       I also picked this one because we get way more then 1.00$ a day and we still complain about how much we get and how we should get more. we are actully lucky to have jobs and get paid weekly/every two weeks. some people dont have jobs or anything and we have the nerve to talk and complain. jus think about how bad it is to struggle like that and have only 1.00$ to eat everyday and that doesnt get you much.

3.  18 live with out a improved water source.
        we have a water source and take adventaged of it. people complain when the water turns colors like brown or rusty. some poeple have to to drink it and not complain because thats all they have.

4.  43 live with out bacis sanitation.
        living with out sanitation is not good we live with it everyday. some dont and it causes health problems. its not good but we are lucky to have proper sanitation.

5.  14 cant read.
        were lucky that we have schools nd education. its hard to live with out an education. and for the people that do i feel so bad. it complicates things more. so we are lucky that we were thought to read. i think everyone should be able to have an education.

Five facts that I thought were important were,

1. 6 people own 59% of the entire wealth of the community.

2. Only 7 are educated at secondary level.

3. Only 12 have a computer.

4. Only 3 have internet connection.

5. The village spent more than U.S $1.12 trillion on military expenditures, and only $100 billion on developement aid.

I thought all of the facts were important, but I just picked any five. w00t.gif

61 asians
8 north americans
50 men
9 disabled
14 cant read
47 urban area



i picked these five because i think they are relevant and it shows how people struggle without the help of others. I think that the urban area is lower than i thought it would be and the people that cant read is crazy because people should be educaated enough to at least read and write.this shows how school is an important factor in life and how much it effects some people when they get older.

i have chosen these five facts because I believe they how people struggle without any help. I realized that the urban area is lower than I had realized it had been and its unbelievable of how few people can even read. This just goes to show how important school is in your life and how it affects others when they grow up.
