I decided to look up some reviews of a software called "Real Lives: Interactive Life Simulation." It is a program designed for students 7th grade and up. Its purpose is to allow students to "live the life" of a student from anywhere in the world, facing (and making) the same choices that person does, and seeing the consequences of making those choices. It seems like a very good way to give students a glimpse of life in other places, while at the same time showing that people are people wherever they live.
I found a review of the software on LearningVillage.com. The url for the review is here. It recieves high marks from the reviewers for its educational value, ease of use, and overall design. The review is pretty detailed and gives a number of scenarios for its use. I would say that overall I would be comfortable ordering the software based on this one review.
