Is the American dream still a reality in today's culture, or is it just a myth?
The feasibility of achieving the American Dream is still debated in modern culture.
Whether a myth or more, the American Dream is unquestionably an issue requiring debate within
contemporary culture. American tradition, the dream of upward mobility through hard work, the
so-called 'American Dream,' has changed meaning and thus must be reassessed. The discussion
centres around the research question--Is today's culture still a place where the American Dream
exists, or is it just a myth? My outline covers the changing definition of the American Dream, the
economic elements in its pursuit, and differences in achieving it among different social groups. In obtaining information, I have referred mainly to well-read sources such as academic
journals that deal with sociological issues and opinion pieces. They help establish a complete
picture of today's American Dream
(
Guo & Huang, 2023). For example, a study about income
inequality shows that economic factors are critical determinants of the ability to achieve the
American Dream
(
Martins et al., 2023). I have chosen sources that satisfy the standards of sound
academic research and contribute to its validity and reliability. Instructors can check the sources
used, which adds credibility to the study. In addition, one of the selected sources uses graphic
media - a chart showing income distribution trends over the past decade
(
Yu, 2023). Its use adds
a further layer to the analysis, helping visualize economic disparities.
Thus, the discussion of modern relevancy elicits a nuanced and intricate tale. These
disputes over its existence or myth indicate the changing nature of social aspirations in
contemporary society. This newly phrased research question guided the examination of elements
such as what the American Dream means and whether it still exists, how economic factors affect
its achievement, why differing portions of society participate to different degrees, and yet those
with resources fail over time.
