Due to continuous changes in the concept of the American Dream throughout its prolonged existence, it is difficult to have one sole definition. The American Dream has always been a major concept that stems off of many ideas such as liberty, prosperity, equality, and opportunity, which still exists, to some degree, in our vision of the Dream today.

In 2004, the British Journal of Educational Psychology releases a report on a research that was conducted by Eirini Flouri and Ann Buchanan dealing with the correlation of early interaction of parents and the future assessment of their children in school. Previous to this article, little research was given to the individual long-term contribution that early parent involvement had in a child’s success in school. Flouri and Buchanan had three particular goals in mind while completing this research:
unequal intergenerational mobility of the U.S. society has increased lately. The upward and downward intergenerational mobility occurs depends largely on both parental and children’s educational attainment (Blau and Duncan 1967). However, although social scientists interpret the transmission of educational attainment mainly through social inheritance, it is arguable that genetic heritability also plays a role in the mobility process (Eckland 1967; Duncan 1968; Behrman and Taubman 1989; Jencks and

race and ethnicity on a person’s educational level. I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic where, within my social group, schooling and education was deemed as an essential part of life. In the United States, however, there exist a greater number of racial and ethnic groups, and it is evident that an achievement gap exists among these groups. Here, Dominicans are marginalized as part of a Hispanic minority group that does not achieve the educational status of other groups, such as Whites

These are not the only factors that affect African American males but these are some of the common factors that affect the educational attainment of African American males. This is should be a concern because there may be something that can be done to prevent the disparity of educational attainment among African American males and white males.

This ethnic minority group remains to be undereducated when compared to the general population due to the lack of their educational attainment. With this, it is important to analyze and understand why education is something that is not easily being achieved by this minority group. Although there are many factors, which contribute to the lack of educational attainment and achievement, this study emphasizes the relationship between acculturation among teens of Mexican descent and their college-related
