Newest American Girl doll is homeless- exploiting homelessness or teaching children empathy?

Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I don't think it's exploiting homelessness but I also don't think it will teach a child empathy either. Odd thing for a doll, inmo because once you've purchased it, it isn't homeless anymore.

The only way to completely understand homelessness, especially for a child, is to actually be homeless or to experience it. No doll or toy can make anyone feel that.

It is teaching empathy, it comes with the book, "Friends: Making Them & Keeping Them".

I believe it's more exploiting than empathy. Children should learn about the homeless, but certainly not through a doll.
