American Dream Obstacles

As the students in class our teachings show us the truth of America and the world and that we cannot judge this world for what it has become because we all rely on something else, a grip for each of us, an American dream that we all have so that we can do what we want in the future. But what we learn teaches us that even if we work hard it’s not always the way that can get us what we want to achieve. The texts that we have gone through teach us that obstacles are there and make the dream almost impossible. The reason we can’t achieve these dreams is the obstacle that faces all of us which are the people around us, the government, and yourself. The first obstacle we face is the people that are around throughout our lives. We see in many of

Throughout the reading we have read and videos we have seen most people are having trouble achieving their dream because of our government and the price raising every day. From the article “Report: It Takes $64K to be Self-Sufficient in Larimer” it shows us the cost of living here and what people make compared to that is not enough to live here and it’s a problem to know that most people can’t afford to live in a house at most places in the United States. Although it’s not completely the same because this is with 2 adults, a preschooler, and a school kid. From the article I found this quote most powerful to show us that its expensive to live in here just because of our government. “A single parent of the same children would have to make $26.94 an hour to be self-sufficient.” This statement proves that it’s almost impossible if you are a teenager or a young adult even that you can’t support children or yourself unless you have a high wage and that’s only for self suffiency. Unless you have had a college background you cannot fulfill this easily and to get a pay like that you would have to be good at what you do. Back when the government wasn’t as strong and corrupt in my opinion there would an easier way of achieving the American dream we all seek. But it’s different now because it costs more just to live every year. Another great example is “The Lesson”
