If you asked an American what worries them most, many would respond with something that has to do with their future. Some may say that they hope to achieve their most desired goals. Others may desire their own home, good schools for their children, or say they want the American dream. However, a mix of politics and social welfare has sparked debate over whether the American dream still exists or is even attainable for the average citizen. As America progressed over time, its people became divided on this issue. On the one hand, some believe that the American dream can only be achieved by the upper class and that it is fueled by a greedy government. On the other hand, they supplement their statement with studies that show how opportunities have increased for Americans. Carried out in the early 1900s, this research showed that parents believed their daughters did not have many career opportunities. By the early 2000s, those numbers skyrocketed, and parents now believe that this nation has provided not only their daughters, but everyone else, with a better education, a better job, and a better future (Bowman, Marsico and Sims). Additionally, they express how America has become an extremely technologically advanced nation that requires additional training and education from all employees (Bowman, Marsico, and Sims). I agree with this camp that the United States has provided Americans with generally acceptable education and other aid programs. I also believe that these advancements in education will advance as America becomes more advanced. Unfortunately, this has the side effect that more advanced nations may become more unequal and the American dream will become more difficult to achieve. However, this is expected in a developing world, and it has happened across America.
