目良誠二郎「『100人の地球村』の誕生」
(吉田悟郎) 早朝パソコンに向かったら 畏友目良誠二郎さんから 次のような 重要なメールが届いていた。最近 有田芳生さんの「今夜もほろ酔い」の「酔醒漫録」から朝日「天声人語」まで取り上げられた出所不明の詩文についての出所探索の結果である。広く流布しつつある詩文でもあるし、極めて感動的な文章でもあるから目良さんのメールは英文を含めて大分長くなるが ここに全文を紹介する。「世界史瞥見」にでもと思ったのだが、ここ「ブナ林便り」で取り上げた詩文なので、このページに決めた。
なお、目良誠二郎さんは、ご自分が教えておられる私立中・高校で行った中・高生徒の生活と意識の調査に強く触発され、インターネットも駆使され、 膨大な新資料に基づき 原史時代以来の人類の戦争と平和の歴史を 独自に学習され 見事な平和学習を試みられた 始終私も刺激されている大変な勉強家である。

吉田悟郎 様
ほぼ「毎日更新」、本当にごくろうさまです。ところで、10月23日付けにこうありました。
- 「今日の有田芳生さん「今夜もほろ酔い」中の「酔醒漫録」10月23日のところに ある中学教師の学級通信の写しが載っている。なかなかいい学級通信なので<有田芳生の今夜もほろ酔い>「酔醒漫録」を読まない人のために 引用させていただく。(引用した文章の出所は,その後、ネットワーク『地球村』のインパクサイトで、「みんなと出会う」コーナーにある「海外レポートN.2」ーあるアメリカ人の友人からのメッセージーであり、なかの・ひろみさん訳のものとわかった。)」
これについては、10月27日の「天声人語」でも取り上げられていました。

英文原文 "A Village of 100 People Representing the World "を見ると、末尾にこうあります。
- -From the works of Donella H. Meadow's "If the World Were a Village of
1,000 People" which is included in an anthology called Futures by Design edited
by Doug Ashley. She is a professor at Dartmouth and has a regularly published
column. -

The Originator and story
behind "The Global Village email" by ukpoet, 29th April 2001.
[オリジナルは、David Taub
uncovers the originator of the Global Village article──加藤 ]
For over 4 years this email has circulated around the internet and far
beyond- now the origins are revealed.
The Originator and story behind "The Global
Village"
For several years now, an email has been circulating the internet titled
"The Global Village'. The crux of it being, "If the world were scaled down to
100 people, the percentage that makes up each ethnic, cultural, educational
type, etc., would be...". [The email version, and the full original version are
included in and appear toward the end of this article]
The originator of "The Global Village" email, has repeatedly been quoted as
either Dr. Philip Harter of Stanford University or, more often, simply
'anonymous'. This can also be seen to be the case, on a number of internet
websites where the email version has been posted.
The Daily Mail newspaper in England featured the article about the email
version on February 17th, 2001, also not knowing who the originator was. After
several months' extensive research, I am delighted and relieved to have
discovered who the person was behind the concept, "The Global Village" and the
original article, which considered a "Global Village of
1000" (not the simplified version of "100" in the email).
But, the journey to finding that person led me up several blind alleys. Two
of those being the connection with Dr. Harter, and then, again, with another
author and lecturer, Marianne Williamson. I
previously wrote two articles about those 'explorations', titled
"Searching World-wide for this Unknown author", as they were of some interest in
their own rights. Particularly concerning Dr. Philip Harter who told me in a
phone conversation:
- "This 'quote' [the quoting of Dr. Harter as author] has been the source of
some very interesting mail. I have received questions from 5th grade teachers,
college professors, the World Health Organization, CNN, the UN (twice), the
White House, and even George Gallup (of poll fame). Recently, I was quoted on
the radio in Alberta, Canada, Liz Smith痴 Gossip column, and even had a page
dedicated to this in a Latvian newspaper. If nothing else, it demonstrates the
power of the Internet."
Dr. Harter went on to explain:
- "Unfortunately, all I did was forward what I thought was an interesting
posting to a few friends, but did not omit my 'automatic signature,' since my
e-mail program indicates when messages are forwarded. I can neither claim
authorship, nor knowledge of its source. My fear is that my name will
permanently be attached to this, I'll get rich and famous, and have to quit my
day job."
Marianne Williamson's connection with the "Global Village" email version was
discussed with me by her PR and Literary agent, B.G., who confirmed that the
information (in the circulating email version) appears, in part, in Marianne Williamson's book, Healing the Soul of America.
However, the mystery still remained unsolved concerning where this
information originated from, as Williamson does not claim to be the 'originator'
of the data, nor the author of the exact wording, as has frequently accompanied
the data in circulating emails and website postings.
Regarding who first circulated, by email, the simplified version of the
"Global Village" article, compared to the original full version, pales into
insignificance, having discovered who the original author was. That being a remarkable woman called Donella H.
Meadows.
Sadly and ironically, Donella Meadows died on 21st
February of this year ・ just four days after the Daily Mail in England printed
the email version article. It turns out that Donella Meadows was a
Professor at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire; an highly accomplished author,
lecturer and environmental journalist.
The truth is that her accomplishments and resume are so extensive, that it
would require several pages just to cover them all. However, her former
assistant, Diana Wright kindly provided me with both a long and shortened
bio-resume of Donella Meadows, as well as the original copy of the unabridged
version of The Global Village, first printed in 1990.
The 'shortened' bio-resume reads:
- Donella H. Meadows
- Born March 13, 1941
- in Elgin, Illinois
Donella (Dana) Meadows, systems analyst, journalist, college professor,
international co-ordinator of resource management institutions, and farmer. She
was trained as a scientist, earning a B.A. in chemistry from Carleton College in
1963 and a Ph.D. in biophysics from Harvard University in 1968.
In 1972 Donella Meadows was on the team at MIT that produced the global
computer model "World3" for the Club of Rome. She was the
principal author of the book The Limits to Growth (1972, Universe Books),
which described that model, and which sold millions of copies in 28 languages.
She was also co-author of two technical books about the global model: Toward
Global Equilibrium and The Dynamics of Growth in a Finite World (1973 and 1974,
both MIT Press).
Since then she was involved in numerous studies of social, environmental,
energy, and agriculture systems. She chronicled the emerging field of global
modeling in her 1981 book Groping in the Dark: the First
Decade of Global Modeling (John Wiley). In a later book she criticized the state
of the art of social system modeling using nine case studies (The
Electronic Oracle: Computer Models and Social Decisions, also John Wiley, 1983).
In 1985 Donella Meadows began a weekly newspaper column
"The Global Citizen," commenting on world events from a systems point of
view. The column was awarded second place in the 1985
Champion-Tuck national competition for outstanding journalism in the
fields of business and economics. It also received the
Walter C. Paine Science Education Award in 1990 and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 1991. The column was
self-syndicated and appears in more than 20 papers. Selected
columns have been published as a book, also called The Global Citizen (Island
Press, 1991).
Dana Meadows taught at Dartmouth College since 1972 in the interdisciplinary
Environmental Studies Program and in the graduate program of the Resource Policy
Center. In 1983 she resigned her tenured professorship to devote more time to
international activities and writing. She retained an Adjunct Professorship at
Dartmouth and taught environmental journalism. (until her recent death on 21st
February, 2001)
With Dennis Meadows she founded and co-ordinated INRIC, the International
Network of Resource Information Centers (also called the Balaton Group). INRIC
is a coalition of systems-oriented analysts and activists in 50 nations, all of
whom work to promote sustainable, high-productivity resource management. Through
INRIC Donella Meadows developed training games and workshops on resource
management, which she presented in Hungary, Kenya, Costa Rica, Portugal,
Singapore, Germany, and the United States. Each year she helped organize a
conference in Hungary at which Balaton Group members exchange information and
plan joint projects.
During 1988-90 she worked with television producers at WGBH-TV in Boston to
develop the ten-part PBS series "Race to Save the Planet." She was writing a
college textbook to accompany the programs as part of an Annenberg/CPB
telecourse. The book is tentatively titled A Sustainable
World: an Introduction to Environmental Systems. It will be published by
John Wiley. Donella Meadows served on the Board of Directors of the Hunger
Project, the Winrock International Livestock Research Center, the Trust for New
Hampshire Lands, and the Upper Valley Land Trust and the Center for a New
American Dream, the latter two of which she helped found. She had been a
consultant to the Office of Technology Assessment of the U.S. Congress and a
member of the Committee for Population, Resources, and the Environment of the
American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Committee for
Research and Exploration of the National Geographic Society. She had been a
visiting scholar at the East-West Center in Honolulu, the Resource Policy Group
in Oslo, Norway, the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)
in Vienna, and the Environmental Systems Analysis Group of the University of
Kassel in Germany.
In 1991 Donella Meadows was selected as one of ten Pew Scholars in
Conservation and the Environment. Her three-year award supported her
international work in resource management with a systems point of view. Also in
1991 Donella Meadows collaborated with her previous co-authors Dennis Meadows
and Jnilrgen Randers on a twenty-year update to Limits to Growth, called Beyond the Limits (Chelsea Green Publishing Company,
1992), which has been translated, at last count, into fifteen languages.
In 1994 Dana was awarded a five-year MacArthur Fellowship by the John D. and
Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. She lived for 27 years on a small, communal,
organic farm in New Hampshire, where she worked at sustainable resource
management directly. Up to her recent death, she was organizing a larger organic
farm, eco-village and research institute (the Sustainability Institute) in
Hartland Four Corners, Vermont, where she was starting a research project on the
sustainability, equity, and stability of commodity systems.

Concerning Donella Meadows' original "Global Village"
article, this was published as follows:
The Global Citizen May 31, 1990
Donella H. Meadows
- STATE OF THE VILLAGE REPORT
-
- If the world were a village of 1000 people:
- 584 would be Asians
- 123 would be Africans
- 95 would be East and West Europeans
- 84 Latin Americans
- 55 Soviets (still including for the moment Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians,
- etc.)
- 52 North Americans
- 6 Australians and New Zealanders
-
- The people of the village would have considerable difficulty communicating:
- 165 people would speak Mandarin
- 86 would speak English
- 83 Hindi/Urdu
- 64 Spanish
- 58 Russian
- 37 Arabic
- That list accounts for the mother-tongues of only half the villagers. The
- other half speak (in descending order of frequency) Bengali, Portuguese,
- Indonesian, Japanese, German, French, and 200 other languages.
- In the village there would be:
- 300 Christians (183 Catholics, 84 Protestants, 33 Orthodox)
- 175 Moslems
- 128 Hindus
- 55 Buddhists
- 47 Animists
- 210 all other religions (including atheists)
-
- One-third (330) of the people in the village would be children. Half the
- children would be immunized against the preventable infectious diseases such
- as measles and polio.
- Sixty of the thousand villagers would be over the age of 65.
- Just under half of the married women would have access to and be using
modern
- contraceptives.
- Each year 28 babies would be born.
- Each year 10 people would die, three of them for lack of food, one from
- cancer. Two of the deaths would be to babies born within the year.
- One person in the village would be infected with the HIV virus; that person
- would most likely not yet have developed a full-blown case of AIDS.
- With the 28 births and 10 deaths, the population of the village in the next
- year would be 1018.
-
- In this thousand-person community, 200 people would receive three-fourths of
- the income; another 200 would receive only 2% of the income.
- Only 70 people would own an automobile (some of them more than one
- automobile).
- About one-third would not have access to clean, safe drinking water.
- Of the 670 adults in the village half would be illiterate.
-
- The village would have 6 acres of land per person, 6000 acres in all of
which:
-
- 700 acres is cropland
- 1400 acres pasture
- 1900 acres woodland
- 2000 acres desert, tundra, pavement, and other wasteland.
- The woodland would be declining rapidly; the wasteland increasing; the other
- land categories would be roughly stable. The village would allocate 83
percent
- of its fertilizer to 40 percent of its cropland -- that owned by the richest
- and best-fed 270 people. Excess fertilizer running off this land would cause
- pollution in lakes and wells. The remaining 60 percent of the land, with its
- 17 percent of the fertilizer, would produce 28 percent of the foodgrain and
- feed 73 percent of the people. The average grain yield on that land would be
- one-third the yields gotten by the richer villagers.
-
- If the world were a village of 1000 persons, there would be five soldiers,
- seven teachers, one doctor. Of the village's total annual expenditures of
just
- over $3 million per year, $181,000 would go for weapons and warfare,
$159,000
- for education, $132,000 for health care.
-
- The village would have buried beneath it enough explosive power in nuclear
- weapons to blow itself to smithereens many times over. These weapons would
be
- under the control of just 100 of the people. The other 900 people would be
- watching them with deep anxiety, wondering whether the 100 can learn to get
- along together, and if they do, whether they might set off the weapons
anyway
- through inattention or technical bungling, and if they ever decide to
- dismantle the weapons, where in the village they will dispose of the
dangerous radioactive materials of which the weapons are made. <END>
(5)1992地球サミット・ポスター=電子メール版「100人の地球村」?
Perhaps the one person who can be thanked for getting wider attention for the
original article is David Copeland of an organisation
called Value Earth, based in New Jersey. David Copeland, with Donella Meadows'
permission, had 50,000 posters made based on 'The Global
Village', for the 1992 Rio de Janiero Earth Summit,which was attended by
people from some 175 countries!
Details of this and the posting of the original article can be found at
http://www.empowermentresources.com/info2/theglobalvillage.html
The email version, which has circulated for several
years reads:
- "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.
-
- There would be:
-
- 57 Asians
- 21 Europeans
- 14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
- 8 Africans
-
- 52 would be female
- 48 would be male
-
- 70 would be non-white
- 30 would be white
-
- 70 would be non-Christian
- 30 would be Christian
-
- 89 would be heterosexual
- 11 would be homosexual
-
- 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 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
-
- 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
- both acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly
apparent."<END>
-
-
- It is with a mixed sense of great sadness and joy that I reached this point
of the journey. Sadness because mine and Donella's paths came so close to
crossing while she was alive. Joy, because of the timing of my being able to
conclude this journey and attribute The Global Village article to it's rightful
author.
-
- This is my tribute to a remarkable woman. There were a number of memorial
services held around the US on the weekend of 21st April. Information concerning
these can be found at the website of the Sustainability
Institute (Donella Meadows' last great unfinished project). The general
site is http://sustainer.org. The specific
