SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND, THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD
Reflection...
How can you seek first to understand, then to be understood?
(Think, Pair, Share)

Something to Think About...
If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following...
Where would they be from?
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
8 Africans
What Gender would they be?
52 would be female
48 would be male
Race?
70 would be non-white
30 would be Christian
Religion?
70 would be Non-Christian
30 would be Christian
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all 6 would be from the United States.
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education
1 would own a computer
When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.
