An unequal world (click here for an interactive map)

Watch the video below "Minature Earth."

The video is based on the idea that if the world was made up of 100 people, it gives an idea of the inequalities in the world.

After watching the video add to the blog your thoughts / feelings. Especially discuss which figures you think were most shocking or disturbing.

I find it very disterbing how if the world had only a population of 100 then only 7 will be educated to our standereds and that 6 people will own 63% of the worlds economy. i personly am worried about ALL the statistics though but these are the two that i can renember the best and that hit me hardest.
