Part 1--Jessie (Qi) Rao --The class division in the American dream

Some people believe that the American dream is a moral encouragement💪 which supports people to achieve a better material living standard, while others suppose that it is an unrealistic lie😈 for the citizens who work hard but gain nothing. 

From my perspective, the American dream provides restricted education and job opportunities for those who already have a financial foundation, which exacerbates and solidifies class division. 😟😟😟

As more and more people move to the cities with great opportunities, education resources, medical resources and employment opportunities cannot be equally distributed to every citizen💢💢, so the probability of changing social status becomes smaller.😞 For example, Parents’ income and living environment constantly limits children’s education conditions👪, which can be shown by the expensive tuition fee 💰💲of world-famous university, such as Harvard University. 

At present, I have chances to go aboard for further study 💻because my parents had chances to work in the most prosperous city in China💪💪, while my father’s cousin who is a farmer in rural areas was not able to afford the same education condition for his son💦😭. The difference in English proficiency and knowledge between us can lead to our contrasting job opportunities and living standards💥💣, which represent our unchangeable class division in the future. The class division cannot be eliminated by an empty and abstract faith that people can succeed if they work hard because of the unfair distribution of various resources and wealth.

"For all the American citizens out there who feel you are falling behind or feel the American dream is not working for you, the immigrants didn't do that to you," New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said during the debate. "The big corporations did that to you."

In the quotation that New York Mayor Bill de Blasio ✔said in CNN news report, the reason why the American dream is not evenly reachable to every citizen and company is the division of existing and emerging enterprises. The concentration of those industries and the MONOPOLY of large enterprises break the healthy competition💔💔 in the society so that the new entrepreneurs do not have the same chances to contend with original companies. Based on it, the original businessmen and employees can maintain their income and high-quality lives, 💵💳while the new companies are not able to survive in the competition.😭😭 The shortage of demands and cash flow in the market cannot afford every American people’s pursuit of wealthy material life. ⏳

Above all, the American dream just presents an idealistic 💭💭way that encourages people to work hard blindly for unreachable dreams because it does not indicate feasible solutions and the standard of success.

In the society where various resources are scarce, the American dream is the government’s lies and the “dreams” which will never come true.
