We hope that by completing these modules you will have a better understanding of the privileges and opportunities provided by ASU’s diverse learning environment. Screen 2The world as a villageIn this exercise, we want you to think about the composition of the world, and to think about it as a village of 100 persons. In reducing the world’s population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all existing human ratios remaining the same,what would the demographics look like?Below is a list of categories, some of them have been filled in; others have not.Please take a guess as to the numbers that are appropriate for the fields that are left blank. Remember, the ratio involves re-creating the world’s current population to be represented by a village of 100 persons.Type a number in all the blank fields, then press submit:If the world was made of 100 persons, the village would have __ Asians, __ Africans, __ Europeans, __ Latin Americans,__ would come from the USA and Canada, and __ from the South Pacific.__ would be male, __ would be female__ would be non-white; __ white__ would be non-Christian; __ would be Christian80 would live in substandard housing67 would be unable to read__ would be malnourished and __ dying of starvation33 would be without access to a safe water supply 39 would lack access to improved sanitationASU 101: The ASU Experience Arizona State University24 would not have any electricity __ people would have access to the Internet1 would have a college education1 would have HIV2 would be near birth; 1 near death__ would control 32% of the entire world’s wealth; all __ would be citizens of _______ (Country)33 would be receiving --and attempting to live on-- only __% of the income of “the village”Press submit after you have completed filling in the blank fields.SUBMITScreen 3See the actual numbers for the world villageThe actual numbers that represent the world’s diversity of living conditions are listed below; your estimates are presented in ( ) parentheses. You correctly guessed ___ out of ___ characteristics of the world.The village would have 60 ( ) Asians, 14 ( ) Africans, 12 ( ) Europeans, 8 ( )Latin Americans, 5 ( ) from the USA and Canada, and 1 ( ) from the South Pacific.51 ( ) would be male, 49 ( ) would be female82 ( ) would be non-white; 18 ( )white67 ( ) would be non-Christian; 33 ( ) would be Christian80 would live in substandard housing67 would be unable to read50 ( ) would be malnourished and 1 dying of starvation33 would be without access to a safe water supply 39 would lack access to improved sanitation24 would not have any electricity 7 ( ) people would have access to the Internet1 would have a college education1 would have HIVASU 101: The ASU Experience Page 22 would be near birth; 1 near death5 ( ) would control 32% ( ) of the entire world’s wealth; all 5 ( ) would be citizens of the US ( )33 would be receiving --and attempting to live on-- only 3% of the income of “the village”Screen 4 The US as a VillageNow we want you to think about US diversity. Using the same technique as before( reducing the ratios to apply to 100 villagers), fill in the blank spaces that follow.Type a number in the blank fields and go to the next page to compare your estimation with the actual conditions of the US village.The village would be __ Caucasian,__ African American, __ Hispanic/Latino, __ Asian and __ American Indian.__ would be male, __ would be female2 would be of two or more races__ would be non-Christian; __ would be Christian__ would live below the poverty level3 would be unable to read49 would be obese__ would have access to the Internet__ would have a bachelor’s degree or higherScreen 5See the actual numbers for the US villageThe actual numbers that represent the US diversity s are listed below; your estimates are presented in parentheses.
