Ok, you have a point. It would be beneficial for them to actually experience real adversity. Or maybe give them a new perspective. Like one time on a radio show this black guy called in who was from inner city Detroit and before joining the Army he used to have the "white man is holding me down" mentality and believed he was being oppressed. He had to go to several third world countries while in the military and he said when he got back he told himself he would never complain about America again because the ghetto is like paradise compared to some countries and he had a new appreciation for the opportunities he had in the U.S.
Man, I remember when I watched a Rick Ross video some years ago, they showed some Miami "ghetto" with a B&W filter to make it seem more bleak and all I could think of was that it looked like regular middle class neighborhoods here.
Actual poor people in the third world don't live in real proper houses, they're more like improvised hovels. Most poor people don't own cars (and dream of buying one).
They don't have basic sanitation or sewer treatment, their house's waste flows into a ditch that passes along the alley where they live.
Poor people in the US have no idea how good their lives actually are.

Same here. I had relatives that grew up in poor areas but I’ve always heard the same thing you have.
