He's right. Sadly, the reciprocal argument is true as well. When kids grow up in a ghetto or other adverse environment, the example of an average adult role model can set expectations quite low. Many kids will fall short of the expectations when they become adults, worsening the problems of crime, poverty, and moral failures. This is why it is important to give people, especially young people that are in their formative years, an escape route from a life of crime and poverty.
