The Global Village.

Imagine all the people Sharing all the world.

John Lennon

Unknown Village Sunrise 

Sometimes you can’t see the wood for the trees. Large numbers swamp our understanding. It’s hard to imagine a million, let alone a billion. Cutting things down to size helps us to make things more concrete and immediate. In 1990 a famous illustration of the state of the World was suggested,fn1 which asked us to imagine that the World’s population was scaled down to create a single village of 100 people, with all their attributes scaled down accordingly.

Smart Village

What would that village be like?

 It would contain 57 Asians and 21 Europeans, 14 members from the Western hemisphere, both north and south, and just 8 Africans. There would be 70 villagers who were non-white and 30 who were white. Only 6 people would possess 59% of the entire village’s wealth and all 6 would be from the United States. Of the village’s 100 members, 80 would live in substandard housing, 70 would be unable to read, 50 would suffer from malnutrition, only one would own a computer, and only one would have had a college education. A strange village, isn’t it?
