North America and Europe represent the smallest percentage of the world’s population, and Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa represent the largest, after we take out the two most populous countries; China, and India.

The images are enough to show the plight of unprivileged, undeveloped people. Beauty, Poverty, Lack of Resources, Misery, Refugees, and Asylum Seekers.
