World of 100 analysis

Posted by Sade Skelton in Globalization - Laufenberg on Thursday, February 9, 2012 at 9:36 am

​languages 2geo 2
religion 2  

For the category religion I think I was inaccurate for all of the types of religion. I went off what I knew, my environment and how I viewed the world I live in. I know more muslims than christians so I thought more people was muslim, christian came in second place, less people are Hindu, and more people have no particular faith or other. The correct answers were that there are more christians than muslims, there's more people in the Hindu religion, less  in the Buddhist and no particular faith/other were about the same. For the language category  I was very inaccurate except for the language Chinese. I put that more people spoke english, spanish and chinese because that is what I see on an everyday basis. I was way off for other, I think because I am close minded to the other languages that are spoken across the world. Im just so used to just the U.S, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia I be forgetting that there's other people in the world.  For the geography I was almost accurate with Latina America/Caribbean, accurate with Europe and inaccurate with the rest of the categories. I thought it would be more from north america, Latin America, Asia and less for Europe, Africa. When really there's more from Asia, Africa, I put more for Latin Am., North America and Asia because that is what I mostly see in Philadelphia. Philadelphia is very diverse but I feel like those 3 are the top ones. I was really surprise by all of the categories, I felt like I failed my world of 100 people, my predictions were way off.  I was way off with my predictions because once again I went by what I knew in my environment. I am used to seeing and hearing specific so I would think they would be more popular.

100 People: A World Portrait

Posted by Brooke Thompson in Globalization - Laufenberg on Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 2:44 pm


We were given a work sheet entitled " World of 100: If the world were only 100 people, how would the numbers stack up ?"  We were asked to to divide the world as if there were only 100 people in it. Once we did this we compared our answers as a class then we compared them with the correct answers. We each only compared 3 catagoires individually. The once i chose to compare were poverty, geography & rural/urban. When estimating the world of 100 I said that North America 25,Latin America 20, Europe1 0, Asia 15, and Africa 30 as far as geography does and my classes numbers were pretty much the same but I was sadly mistaken. When I compared the correct answers 60% of the 100 people were Asian and only 5 % were from North America. I was most accurate with the rural and urban living. I said 50/50 and I was correct the real answer showed just about the same amount.The answers that shocked me the most was the geography. I expected more people to be from north America but then again America is so urbanized compared to other countries that you would probably need 100 people to run north america. Below are my individual pie charts, as well as my comparing bar graph.
