    Is the American Dream still alive ?

    "The American Dream" is one of the most curious phrases for everyone. Almost any time you

    see this phrase these days, it seems to be in a negative context. The question is, "Is The American

    Dream still alive ?".The American Dream is the belief that anyone from everywhere on the Earth

    can attain their version of success in society. The American Dream is achieved through hard-

    working, sacrifice rather than by chance. I have spent hours and hours on the Internet to gather

    information about this topic. In my opinion, the American Dream is not dead.

    According to Amadeo (2020) said that: "The American Dream is the possibility that the

    government ought to secure every individual's chance to seek after their concept of satisfaction."

    The government ensures you and each other American residents' privileges to discover their way

    to financial success. In contrast to numerous different nations, you are not needed to follow your

    dad's calling. Your fate isn't lawfully decided upon entering the world by the station, religion, or

    sexual orientation. There is still separation, yet the law ensures your entitlement to seek after a

    better life. According to Graham (2017): "This dream isn't about ensured results , obviously , but

    about chasing chances" (p.2). However, the chance to live the American Dream is considerably

    less broadly shared today than it was a very long while prior. While 90% of the kids conceived in

    1940 wound up in higher positions of the salary dissemination than their parents, just 40% of

    those born in 1980 have done so. The public conversation about disparity has by-passed an

    essential component of the American Dream: luck. Bits of gossip about the American dream

    being dead have been enormously misrepresented.

    Nowadays, the American Dream has the option to move on from school with negligible

    obligation, secure an occupation in your field that has benefits, have the opportunity to manage

    the cost of medical services costs ( while putting something aside for retirement and squaring

    away credits), and still carry on with a good life. According to Dickler ( 2016), "63 percent of

    Americans accept they are experiencing the American dream, as per an ongoing report, up from

    59 percent in 2011" (p.2). With a whole populace joined by language, political framework, and

    qualities, America's rate appears to develop with its residents' distinctions. An assorted public

    gives organizations in the U.S. an upper hand, with more development and open business sectors

    to test new items. Furthermore, America offers different socioeconomics, further giving trade the

    edge to try specialty items, creating more imaginative thoughts contrasted with a little,

    homogenous populace. The U.S. keeps on appreciating the advantages of social variety. The

    Declaration of Independence does not endeavor to characterize satisfaction or way of life.

    Instead, it ensures everybody's battle to have an equal chance to seek after the American Dream's

    unique beneficiary vision, allowing all the opportunity to make riches anyway they see fit. The

    American Dream today focuses on eliminating worries rather than providing comforts.

    In conclusion, I want to say the American Dream still exists, but it has taken on a new form. I

    hope that through this essay, you will reflect on what the American Dream means to all of us,

    individually and collectively. May we praise our variety, show appreciation, and regard to our

    Forefathers who prepared for each American to have the opportunity to characterize, seek after

    and accomplish the Dream.
