If the world were a 100 people....

Earlier on I was asked to construct a If the world were a 100 people project. A school Project that was supposed to categorize the world population by how the majority was privileged through narrowing the entire population to 100 people. I created a survey and a video presenting my idea of this based on the statistics I collected through my survey.  Three topics my survey covered that I thought were most important were gender,religion and parental status. I found these topics interesting because I feel they play a huge role for how people are privileged and how some people grow into the lifestyles they have. Gender affects people like this because gender nowadays affects crucial things like how you get employed or how people view you. And while sometimes it is true like with gender roles,it gets taken to an extreme that makes like extremely hard for anyone that gender. Religion has an even more fatal affect. In some countries,Religion determines whether someone lives or dies. In america,Islam is the top 3 hated religion because of it's frequent relation with terrorism. With this in mind,Muslims all over are persecuted. Parental status is also a factor because the parents affect the children. The status of the parents relationship affect the child or the person because the situation can determine how what the kid has access to. For example,if a kid only has one parent,then they don't have access to much because one parent won't be able to provide for their child as well as two parents.
The procedures to receive this data wasn't easy. First,a survey was required to be made along with having 100 participants taken. The link had to be posted on schoology,Facebook,and Instagram. All forms of available social media was used. I would frequently checked the results of my survey and there was a some shock. For one thing,There was a surprising  amount of people who have been bullied in their lives. I was also shocked to see the amount of people who haven't considered drugs. The percentage difference was shockingly high, with 60.7% saying no but 39.3% yes. Overall this project is relevant to this society because it takes a portion of the worlds generic people and reveals how they are privileged compared to others. This is important to know because it informs the classroom community the average of things people are privileged for depending on gender,race,age and etc.
A project that can be used to create a similar purpose in Patricia McCormick's Sold is to research the culture in Lakshmi's original home, and divide the natives into categories from richest to poorest
