My 17 year old nephew was able to attend our recent family reunion in Miami, Florida last week. He had been on a semester at sea world cruise last fall as part of a university program. He has just started his first year. I asked him of his impressions of his trip. He said when he was in Ghana, he noticed how happy the people were living such a simple life, they wanted nothing and weren't aware of how little they had compared to life in developed countries. He thought if only we could spend money helping others instead of spending it on things that didn't matter. I thought it was very intelligent and mature of him to say these things.
He said many of the students on his trip didn't seem to be taking in much other than getting drunk and partying. Some were from very wealthy families, some weren't. Others were trying to get the most from the experience. It's what you would expect from this age group I suppose.
