Yes, the term refers to a person who maintains a postive outlook even in the worst of fortune. The whole world does not need to be in shambles to put that to the test, just their corner of it. Ms. Bucket from Charlie and the Choclate factory is a  wide-eyed idealist, but she does not live in a crap-sack world, she and her family are just poor and often unlucky.
