I would disagree with this statement. An individual in poverty- doesn't mean this specific individual wants to be poor. Some people are born into it, and unfortunately especially today- the society we live in; economy is getting worse and so are the jobs. So no- The statement is completey false; once someone is in poverty- they will undergo the never ending cycle poverty offers.

I think this game gives more insight I would've ever thought. I wasn't born into money and I have a great life thankfully because of mother's job. But I am even more grateful now. It puts you into each scenario and really makes you think. It makes you realize - that you should be happy for every single thing we own in our house. We have shelter, food, water, a couch, a bed-  All of those things we take much advantage over. One question that really sticked out to me was: the one where it said the child was embarrassed that kids were bullying her- about the free lunches. That was sad. I never looked at it like that. We live in a society where it is "normal" to judge someone, and it isn't. Poverty isn't something people have a dream about being in. If something traumatic happens- it is no one's fault. I have a deeper appreciation for all the people suffering- that live in poverty.
