The answer probably is not an academic paper about the inadequate diet or corrupt medical system in country X. But perhaps it would help to ground discussion of such issues in the context in which other people live. It is easy to think we understand someone’s distress, but most people (especially Americans) have no idea what life is really like in another country.
但好社会是这样的：你不必是幸运儿，受到的教育也不会差，吃的食物也不会不健康，做的工作也不会让你感到暗无天日。而好的评论是这样的：不仅仅抱怨他人的短视。那么，哪些方面可以改进？答案或许不在于关于某国营养不足、医疗体系腐败的学术论文。但这也许有助于引发将这些问题置于其他人生活的环境下进行讨论。认为我们理解他人的痛苦很容易，但大部分人（特别是美国人）并不知道其他国家的真正生活是怎样的。
