The American Dream: A Complex Reality in Modern USA
• The concept of the American Dream faces challenges in today's society
• Key issues include inequality, immigration, religious diversity, political divides, and police violence
• While the ideal promises equal opportunity, the reality often falls short for many Americans
• Debates continue around immigration policy, civil rights, and economic mobility

Immigration and the American Dream
Immigration plays a central role in discussions of the American Dream:
• As of 2019, there were approximately 45 million immigrants in the U.S., comprising 14% of the population • Views on immigration are mixed, with 75% of Americans feeling positive about immigration • Policies vary widely, from Obama's DACA program to Trump's restrictive measures
Example: The DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program, started in 2012, provides legal protection for certain undocumented immigrants who arrived as children.
Highlight: Immigration remains a contentious political issue, with debates over its economic and social impacts on American society.
State-Level Approaches to Immigration
Individual states handle immigration differently:
• Some states like California allow unauthorized immigrants access to education and driver's licenses • Other states implement stricter policies • These contradictory approaches reflect the ongoing national debate about immigration and the American Dream
Highlight: The variation in state-level immigration policies demonstrates the complex and often contradictory nature of the American approach to immigration and opportunity.
American Dream: Origins and Ideals
The American Dream originated with early settlers seeking opportunity in a resource-rich new land. Its core tenets include:
• Equal opportunity for all to achieve success through hard work • Emphasis on material wealth and social status • Belief that anyone can rise from poverty to prosperity
Definition: The American Dream was first published as "dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunities for each according to ability or achievement" by James Truslow Adams.
Quote: The Declaration of Independence states that "all men are created equal, they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness."
Highlight: The reality often differs from the ideal, with factors like poverty and inequality limiting access to opportunity for many Americans.
Historical Context of the American Dream
The American Dream concept evolved alongside key historical events:
• Early settlers exploited abundant natural resources, learning that hard work led to success • The Civil War (1861-1865) centered on disagreements over slavery between Northern and Southern states • Abolition of slavery after the South's defeat reshaped American society
Vocabulary: Civil War - The war between Northern and Southern U.S. states from 1861-1865, primarily over the issue of slavery.
Highlight: The Civil War's outcome had profound effects on American society and interpretations of the American Dream.
