In some circumstances, yeah. It can force people to learn to stick it out in tough times and fight viciously for their rights. It can give people a sense of empathy for others in the same situation. On the flipside though, it can wear down people's self confidence and self esteem, drive them into a state of bitterness towards society in general, and otherwise break down their spirit.
