What The World Would Look Like If It Was Reduced To 100 People

This intriguing video reveals what the world's population would look like if it was shrunk down to just 100 people. The clip, produced by magazine and social impact company GOOD, gives a fascinating snapshot of the make-up of the people who live around the world. Some stats - such as the fact that 50 of those 100 people would be women and 50 would be men - are unsurprising. But some are far more shocking, such as the the fact that one person out of those 100 would control 50% of all the wealth. Fourteen people would be American, 11 would be European, 15 would be African and 60 would be Asians. The five most widely-spoken languages are, in order, Mandarin, Spanish, English, Hindi and Arabic - with 6,500 other languages spoken by the rest. The video was produced using data from the CIA's World's Factbook, which contains information on every country, dependency, and geographic entity in the world.

Sounds like bloody paradise can i choose the 100 people

Ok just watched the video
And IMO its stupid
because if the world only had 100 people split around the world as it suggests 95% of the things it postulates would not be even a issue

Eh!!

100 people
some speak Mandarin, Spanish, English, Hindi and Arabic 6,500 other languages spoken by the rest. ?

so what the rest speak 65 ish languages each ?

Wow, its trying to show disproportions by down sizing.

Never mind I am sure others will grasp this.

The problem with the whole video IMO it assumes all the underlying infrastructure it relates to just ticks merrily along for the remaining 100 people .......scattered round the world

it wouldn`t

You really are being so utterly pedantic over something that is simplifying the population of world into categories

Seriously if you want to be such a bore about it, then contact them, as I am sure they will correct you emphatically and then you can show us their correspondence so we can all laugh at you

Let me know how you get on

No its a statistical magic trick that would have no bearing in actual reality of ONLY 100 people where left on the planet

Which shows you fail to grasp the point of the video.

Like I say, if you think its wrong, then write to them, as I am dying to love to see the correspondence

They downsized it to give an idea.

It was never going to be exact, seriously, nothing worse than perfectionists, who failed to see their own failings

Because you are being a prat, plain and simple

If you do not like it tough shit, you are nothing more than an insignificant northern ignorant monkey

There now go and cry over your spilt milk

Can we please try not to call each other names?
If you can't play nicely then don't play at all.

Korben looks to have deleted his account.

So what, let him sulk, I really do not care eddie

He failed to understand what the video was, i tried to explain, he kicked off and I hit back, where he was telling me to leave the forum.

So if I am not going to leave, he left, that is his choice

He is always welcome back of course but I am not going to allow him to make a drama out of this

No and I don't want to speak on his behalf either.

I was the one with all the dosh.

In answer to the question at the end - would we all fight harder for equality - the answer is no. For a start - just to be pedantic - the people in one country wouldn't know what was happening in other countries, and they would probably only care about what was happening on their little patch.

If there were only 11 people in Europe, they would either be scattered about or maybe live in one place all together. If they lived together, they would expect one person to be in charge, or even if they didn't, one or two people would naturally take charge.

Ever seen the series "Survivors"?
