1. “ A GLOBAL FAMILY PORTRAIT” Created by: Nancy S. Headlee EdSMRT 521 Fall, 1999

3. Have you ever wondered... How am I like other kids my age? How am I different? What’s it like to live in another town, state or country?

4. Suppose we could shrink the earth’s population...

5. To a village of 100 people...

6. Here’s how our world would look...

7. 57 Asians 21 Europeans 14 Western Hemisphere (North & South Americas) 8 Africans Out of 100 people there would be:

9. 52 Females 48 Males 70 Non-whites 70 Non-Christian

11. 6 people Would possess 59% of the entire world’s wealth.

13. All 6 people would live in the United States.

14. 80 would live in substandard housing 70 would be unable to read 50 would suffer from malnutrition

16. Out of 100 people, only 1 would have a college education.

17. Only 1 would own a computer.

18. When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective...

20. ... the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.
