Hmm. Just because someone lives in the third world, it doesn't follow ipso facto that their life is miserable. In some areas, yes. For lots of reasons. But there are some pretty unhappy human beings in the first world too. Maybe you could start by taking a poll amongst those who work in call centres. Or fast food joints. Just a thought.
Can't remember which third world country it was now, but I saw in the newspaper the other day that television had come to a little known island in the south pacific. In the space of a couple of years, women who'd been perfectly happy with their body shape and size started getting eating disorders, and feeling bad about the way they looked. Anyone relate?
