Considering American Dream advocated for equality among all American, emergency of different social class in the United States has made the dream to die (Putnam8).

Schools from areas of the high social class have well-equipped schools and are served by high competent teachers(Johnson 23). On the contrary, schools from areas of the low social class which are understaffed and have lacked the necessary learning facilities and are also served by incompetent teachers despite the fact that the American Dream advocating for equity is all aspects of life in America. The disparity is quality of education affirms that the American Dream is dead. Realization of the American Dream is not by chance as it demands handwork. However, laziness among the American is slowly killing the dream (Putnam 11).

Currently, children are earning a higher income than their parents. More than 84% of Americans are nowadays earning more than their parent’s income. Moreover, since 1990, the rate of school dropout in America has significant decreased (Hansen 134).

Unemployment is on the decrease as job opportunities are available for both natives and foreigners. Works Cited Adams, James Truslow.  The Epic of America. Transaction Publishers, (2012):1-40. Hansen, Amelia. An American Dream.
