before you read the paragraph below, go to the following link


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNnbO8x4JAYfor you to access to the video you will need
to carry out the tasks proposed, watch the video as a complement for you to guide
yourselves to complete the charts given below.

Note: the charts must be filled out using the second conditional forms as in the next

Eg. 59 people in my village would be Asian.

If the World were a Village of 100 people

The world is a big place - really big. In fact, it's so big that it becomes hard to
make sense of some of the big figures that go with it. For most of us, numbers
like 18,000,000 or 180,000,000 have little meaning. We know they are large, but
we can't imagine them the way we can with 6 apples, 2 tins etc.

This makes an understanding of world population statistics very difficult for most
of us. An excellent way to solve the problem is to use smaller numbers that we
can imagine or mentally visualize.

Your task is to read the charts below and then to fill in the blanks with either
numbers or %’s. Don’t guess wildly; think about it. Remember, the total in cannot
go over 100. You will be surprised by some of the answers. At the end of the
worksheet are some statements, read them, think about them which, if any have
shocked you?

In 1990, Donella H. Meadows published the 'State of the Village Report'. It took
the latest world statistics and reproduced them, as they would appear in a village
of just 100 people. The village of 100 people reflects all the variations of the real
world, but in numbers we can understand. If the world was a village of 100 people,
it would look like this…
