"From G's to Gents"

MTV's reality show "From G's to Gents" has truly been an interesting show. The show is about 13 men who grew up in the hood; many of them sold drugs, have been in prison, or have been shot at some period in their lives. The show is structured to transform them into gentlemen; where the one who makes the biggest transformation will win $100,000. Many of them are truly striving to change, but the path seems very hard. Do you think these types of reality shows are beneficial to its participates? Personally, I feel that it is. It gives men the opportunity to escape from their violent communities and find what the better things in life are.
