If the world were a village of 100

[drifter687]

only 7 people would access the internet

[akamaruanimefan]

the kid at 4:12 is sooo skinny

[akamaruanimefan]

spelled language wrong

[giligara30492]

Thanks. We watched this today in my Introduction to Epidemiology class... It's very interesting to think about all of these statistics. At the same time, it's unnerving to hear about some of them and to know that they are, in fact, the truth.

[Android18uk]

@giligara30492 Read this website snopes.com/science/stats/popul­ate.asp to see how some of these statistics aren't "the truth."

[TheFudge9]

does anyone know the name of the music track used?

[HDVSU]

Actually there would 48 men and 52 women

[Android18uk]

@HDVSU Actually there are slightly more men than women in the world, but in a village of 100 it would be rounded up to a 50 50 split.

[soaponaroapDG]

3:20 "to be replaced with a zombie (due to a virus, in unclean water, which people from different countries are not yet immune to) which infects or devours people, untill the 10 with weapons can put them all down and then those with internet access can make a video game out of it, and there is now more energy, food and water to go around"

[TheMultimete]

I think its unfair that poor people have to suffer and meanwhile rich people lie on royal seats. That is so unfair.....

[Rolands214]

I am watching this just because i was sick at school for 1 day. Now i have to write a 3 page essay and it's due tomorow!!!!!!!!! D:

ahhhh

but great video by the way. My class watched it the day i was sick

[moonshineonme75013]

EXCELLENT!

Namaste'

[duckyloverx]

We watched this in geography the other week; it's well cool;)'

[nebiliyimyaaa]

2:12 i'm a Turkish Muslim but i've never seen these kind people!!! All muslims are not like that!!!

[TheArunsingh1]

1:47, there is no language called "Hindu", it is Hindi I think you are referring to. Hindi speaking polulation might not be in excess of 250 million (entire world).

[rokuseph]

dude there is more than 900 million muslims on this planet, and you could only come up with that picture to stereotype the muslim people on the planet? jeez..

[yinan159]

If there were only 100, then probably no one would see this video

[MrJkk326]

the rest of the people would be like sheeps and goats and pigs hint hint

=))

[kingoftheworld128]

cool

[EpicM0J0]

Man you got that from a book

[JosieCoolstar1996]

watched this in geography class it was pretty cool :)

[snehmukh8]

wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!????? hindu is not a language it is a religion stupid! obviously u know nothing on the topic u r talking about! hmph

[trancemuter]

How about 1000 people? It would a more accurate data.

[Rendex13]

what is that song ?

[cupcakefairy87]

Spelling mistake at 1.57: Languege is supposed to be 'Language'. Also, Hindu is not a language, it's a follower of the Hindu religion. The correct term for the language spoken in India is 'Hindi'.

[Bearsca]

@cupcakefairy87 There are loads of languages that are spoken in India, with Hindi being on of, if no the, language that the most people speak as a mother tongue in India. Even if it is the language that the largest number of people in India have as their native language, it doesn't mean that most people have it as that (the figure is probably around one third). It doesn't even mean that most people in India speak it, or even that it is the language that the most people in India is able to speak.

[monkeyrocketsurgeon]

you do know that those all those guns gave you the internet to post this on, right?

[pfleiderer1]

@monkeyrocketsurgeon @monkeyrocketsurgeon Lol, guns have no creative mind, so they most certainly did not give us our internet. DARPA gave us the internet because they had no more use for it and then the population took it over. HUMANS create things, HUMANS are the creators. Someone would of eventually invented a global communication system. Why the hell do you bring GUNS in a fight! That's intimitating instead of rationnal debate, and it's typical of american endoctrination.

[monkeyrocketsurgeon]

@pfleiderer1 and the guns were created by humans who then had the control... but the guns nor the internet are things which appeared from no where. all tools have a purpose.

the video hits hard at the end with 10 people controlling all the nukes and 90 people in fear.

167000 years ago there were leaders who made things happen, by fear.

there is weak and strong

the strong find something to do

the weak complain about the strong doing something.

that isn't american, it's human.

[lambolukas]

How about 50 people

[samnseq89]

The free hugs pic made me think, "Why can't everyone else be like that?"

[AhYaOk]

they just need a walmart in the village

[BeamSurfer]

that's like 52 people in that picture.

[StDotEve]

basicly percentage

[rooneykotwn]

did anyone else notice the monster period on the toilet seat

[rainbowchicklol123]

that girl with the free hugs sign is my new hero

[rainbowchicklol123]

ummmm..... there are more women in the world than men, so if at all it would be 50/ 50. although there is a small percentage more women then men, i feel that you should correct that to at least 50/50

[anneboucher]

@rainbowchicklol123 millions of babygirls get abborted each year because in some countries, males are more important than females. So maybe there are more girls BORN each year than boys, but because more boys survive, it's 49/51.

[smallworldtheory]

@anneboucher in fact more boys are born than girls. true many more girls are aborted but many men die in war. males still are born at a higher rate, about 105 : 100.

[smallworldtheory]

@rainbowchicklol123 not true. they are almost equal but the "Ratio of 105" describes 105 males born for every 100 females around the world.

[caosdaninja]

and those 7 people made 4chan

[jkshergill]

Watched this in my humanities class. Have to make a poster for one of the points lol :)

[PicardforPresident]

If the world were 100 people, non of the problems with wealth, resources, or energy would exist. There wouldn't be 4 billion people sharing the resources and wealth of a continent that could hardly healthily sustain 300 million. Sadly, the world is overpopulated, and that has given rise to the problems humanity faces currently. The world is probably in the best state it has ever been, yet still people suffer.

[TheLilsurferboi]

@PicardforPresident 1. it means in ratio.. so the world would be ratio'ed down from 6billion to 100.. 2ndly.. i researched much, but by the facts i see on the news (which i know is bias, but partly true too), the world isnt in the best state its ever been. as a lot of its sources are deminishing, and the ozone layers are being destroyed from the pollution created.

[PicardforPresident]

@TheLilsurferboi Yes, I now see what you mean by the ratio. And what I meant by the world is in it's best state is the people of the world are better off than they ever have been :P Sorry for my misunderstanding and lack of clarity.

[seestephanie]

59 would be asian ..

and the pic showed only like chinese or korean people ..

when people think of asians, that's who they think of. the people with weird eyes.

but in asia there's also india, and iraq, and afghanistan and all those countries.

even my teacher is stupid enough to give me a bad grade on something, because she thought afghanistan was in europe.

haha.

glad i wasn't born here.

[MrFataIity]

@seestephanie Yeah, very true. Many people don't know India and Pakistan are apart of the Asian continent.

[freedan33]

@seestephanie if your teacher thought that afghanistan was in europe, you really should have told someone as she is obviously not equiped to teach!

[max10293847566]

Saw this is class. Nice project.

[BRYAN351]

Interesting video, but they left out some important statistics.

It said 6 people own 59% of the wealth. It should also say that 6 people are far more productive than the other 94.

It said 20 people consume 80% of the energy. It should also say that 20 people produce probably 80% or more of the village's goods and services, because being productive takes lots of energy.

As history proves, freedom and capitalism are the only things that will create a healthy, prosperous village or world.

[JamesMcbennet]

1:59 =Typo

[DaMarshmellowman]

you can't speak hindu

[doctorwhoooful]

this is a very intersting viideo

[AvrilLavigneR0cks]

If the world was a village,North Korea would be the little kid planning to blow up the village.

[max10293847566]

@AvrilLavigneR0cks Nice...that was pwn in a can of pwn.

[MiracleMile90]

@AvrilLavigneR0cks: And if Israel were a part of that village of 100, they'd be one of the scapegoats.............along with Venezuela, Cuba and maybe a few others. 

[Bearsca]

@AvrilLavigneR0cks If there were 100 people, none of them would be North Korean. Because the world's not divided into 100 equal parts, this is a bit weird, but we would get something like 1 person who's 35% North Korean. Because there are around 200 countries with varying numbers of inhabitants, only a few countries (around 36 countries if you're rounding up, around 18 people if people are divided into percent) would be given a representation of at least 1 whole person.

[ilovemeandhorses]

Ohmygod , 4:11 ... his legs are so skiinny :(

[yousifzi]

Its not " undernurished. Its (undernourished). Lol

[Spyguy1023]

thank man, now i can finish my 100 villige report :D

[Liddyization]

2.1 billion Christians! Go God!

[SiREEE]

@Liddyization billion?

[shadows565]

excellent! you're smart

[LadiJazz]

who is this music byyyyy?!?!

[TheBillybob3232]

Very wrong information! There are 2,600,000 high income individuals in the USA, 8,500,000 in the world. That's 1/25 of 1 percent of the USA are wealth not 1% and certainly not all would be from the USA. We do have about 1/3 of the wealthy persons not all of them. Very misleading infromation here. Sorry to pop your bubble folks.

[Mann1979HH]

@TheBillybob3232

Where are you getting your information from?

[zeppelingitis]

Go athiests!

[MyMoonlessNights]

I believe that this video has caused many people-including myself- to realize what is happening our world. Some of these statistics are quite frighting, I would say. Excellent video!

Oh, and it is: 6 would speak Hindi. Hindu is a person who who adheres to Hinduism.

[crackerz27]

watched this in scrip

[Showjumper1011]

i watched this in my math class! :)

[JakeTrimmings]

i have to do this for my homework

[farrim786]

The point is not about how many spelling errors there are and if the facts were accurate...the point is that we should take a moment, stop thinking about ourselves all the time and open our minds and eyes to what is around us

[LeftyDexter]

Good luck with that idea. You might make people be nice to each other as well.

[ebatti]

If the world was a village of 100 people, would the men have to stand around like idiots?WTF were they doing in that pic?

[N4D14S]

I first watched this in school wiv da rest of my class. I fort the statistics are intresting but some things have changed.

Other than that my teacher loved this video and recomemded us to watch it home and take a few notes!

Good Job and Nice Pics n Music!! =D

[forgreatjustice22]

What is the name of this song?

[BBtheSeries]

Not sure, it came from a free music download site....royalty free share music site where artists directly upload thier music.

[ucandoit245]

is it really true that americans would hold 59% of the world's wealth? i know americans have large middle class and generally even distribution of assets, but the US is not the wealthiest country in the world. Asian countries have 40 something % of the worlds population and US only has 6%. Asian countries hold much of the worlds wealth, and i'd think they have nearer to equal share as the US. somebody know more?

[adozeninsurgents]

It is not true. According to the CIA world factbook, in 2008, the United States' GDP was $14 trillion, while the world's GDP was $69 trillion at purchasing power parity. Clearly, this video's statistics are untrustworthy. I recommend wikipedia or the CIA world factbook if you want accurate information.

[limaktba]

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA that's the funniest thing I've ever heard (not to mention in the same sentence);CIA factbook and Wikipedia as accurate sources. :)))))))))))))))))))

[adozeninsurgents]

I think that the CIA World Factbook, and even wikipedia, have a lot more credibility than this video. You must choose to trust someone when you look for GDP statistics. Why not the CIAWF, unless you believe in some kind of massive conspiracy?

[Hexicznova]

Per person US is exceedingly wealth. The majority of Asia is in poverty while a few % (below 10) hold the majority of the wealth. Alot of people in Asia only earn x cents a day.

[ZangarAloesta]

45% of them would be Homosexual and 55% would be Heterosexual

[britishhedgehog]

Asia's bigger than just China... there's India and Russia with equally big populations...

[Delalcon]

Russia is, by far, not as populated as Inia, nor China ....

[nycyankeez14]

Hindu is not a language i think you meant hindi

[muttbutt]

spelling...

Hindu is not a language.. its a religion

Hindi is a language..

and it would be buddhist not buddist

... just so you all get it right for later...or whatever ...

[BethanyBop11]

doesnt matter like really , they were just trying to prove a point

[muttbutt]

im not saying it was a bad vid or anything... i think it was an awesome idea... im just saying that the spellings arent correct

[Hyp3rWolf]

I love this video, but not the part when the child from africa starves and dies/1dies 2 are born.

My year group(6) had to learn this.

[karl77oz]

I think there would be 31 people asleep, 10 looking at themselves in the mirror/thinking of ways to improve their image and 30 people chasing the 6 americans with an axe

[Delalcon]

Nice =D

[rashedprime]

@karl77oz - lmao karl... your comment was gold mate :)

you must be from australia... you reminded me the great australian movie "The Castle" where he says, fishing is 91% patience, 6% skill and 5% luck - lol

[shanedasontv]

@rashedprime makes no sence to me 91 plus 6 equals 97 plus 5 equals 102 o.O no sence

[raza999iscool]

good movie helps with my h.w

[chocolateyjunkie]

cool music!

i would be the 1 with the college degree!

:P

[ThDrkHmrstNdThThrN]

CONTROVERSIAL TIME-

59% are Asian...

14% are African...

12% are European...

Does this prove or disprove natural selection?

I'm not a racist. Personally, I don't believe in order, only random chaos, so I don't believe anything can prove 'anything', or that any two things can actually be related to each other, but it can have the illusion of connection. I just wanna hear your opinion, YouTube...

[freedom3001]

Not really. The size of the population indicates nothing in regards to natural selection.

[ajknowsnothing]

Wrong.

[PuzzlingJuggler]

This could happen given there happened to be a zombie apocalypse

[scunythescou]

My teacher read me a book like this when i was in like grade 4. It makes a good point. But if it were a village of 100 only one nuclear weapon would be enough to blow it up many times over. And the sad truth is that there is like 30 000 nukes int the world.

[catejack99]

Loved the content, graphics, music...BUT the text is flashing by way too quickly to be properly processed. Really wanted to show this to a group of JH students but pace was too fast in parts (at the beginning) for everyone to keep up. Too bad - would've led to a great lesson opener.

[Doguehaus]

Hi, , actually the text in the beginning was supposed to be fast, in order to be confusing, cause ...that was the goal i was going for.

I wish i had the files still on my comp but i dont think i do or i could slow it down for you to use.This has been shown to groups if students before, with me present, and they have followed it pretty well. I usually just point out in the very beginning, when it starts, that the beginning text was intended to confuse..

Thanx for watching.

Mary

[CribNotes]

Have them watch it once, then watch it again and pause it whenever necessary. It's only six minutes long.

[xxxGIGGYxxx]

aight

[eindias]

Buddhist is spelled wrong, too.

[Mrblondekf]

You spelled "Language" wrong (1:59). But otherwise, great video it was hilarious.

[cheesepuffs724]

WOW! I'll send this to my teacher......

[SilogramRice]

amazing

[drmdk]

The trouble - It may happen.
