Main Topics
The american dream can be challenging.
Immigrants try and succeed for a better living.
Immigrants face discrimination and social injustice.
The american dream can be achievable
Hard working immigrants fight for money and stability.
Counter Argument
immigration causes pressure on public services. For example schools, hospitals and public amenities are affected by the increase of immigrants. This argument can be accurate since over population can affect schools, hospitals and public amenities yet there is a solution to over population which is why its not as accurate and can be said for everyone .
Results of your survey
25/50 of Curie High School students who were surveyed agreed that the american dream is achievable .
Interview Summary
The interviewee is a credible source since she is 17 and a young adult , who cares about now and future generations. In general they mentioned open mindedness and equality. For growth in generations and better opportunities. She also mentioned how much immigrants an be affcted by this so called American dream that wont be achievable for everyone.
your personal opinion
In my opinion I believe the American Dream can be achievable yet everyone has their own perspective of the American Dream. Coming to the US can be difficult and a life changing experience. Establishing yourself in the US without enough resources and new accommodations is not easy. The American Dream in my opinion is not real anymore and was a great deal yet it isnt anymore since America has changed and multiple factors of getting a better life here has dissapered.
The challenges immigrants face trying to achieve the “American dream”.
