Help your child become a global citizen with this accessible introduction to the people who live on our planet, with big ideas broken into bite-size chunks through clever graphic design. Perfect for home and classroom settings!
With almost 7.8 billion people sharing the earth, it can be a little hard to picture what the human race looks like all together. But if we could shrink the world down to just 100 people, what could we learn about the human race? What would we look like? Where and how would we all be living? This book answers all these questions and more!
Reliably sourced and deftly illustrated, If the World Were 100 People is the perfect starting point to understanding our world and becoming a global citizen. If we focus on just 100 people, it's easier to see what we have in common and what makes us unique. Then we can begin to appreciate each other and also ask what things we want to change in our world.
如果世界只有100人,會是什麼樣子?全世界有幾十億人口,要一次想像這麼多人太難了!所以,我們假想有100人居住在一座地球村。他們各自過著什麼樣的生活呢?會都一樣嗎?
你知道嗎?如果世界以100個人來看,有84個人黑髮,11個人棕髮,3個人金髮,2個人紅髮;只有10個有錢人,但他們占有世上82%的財富,其餘90個人只有世上18%財產。有89個人吃得飽,11個人不夠吃,但是每年世上生產的糧食有三分之一 被浪費掉,光是這些就可以養活那些挨餓的人,而且綽綽有餘……
這是一本發人深省的繪本,呈現出人與人之間的共通點,並聚焦在一些對許多人造成影響的問題。一起團結努力,尋找解決方法,打造我們的美好未來
