Immigrants perceive the United States as a land of opportunity, and freedom.
In this
way I can say that they still believe in a myth because they continue to immigrate to
America.
Indeed America remains a popular haven for immigrants from around the
world.
They believe that in this country even if you start from scratch, without a penny
or without any degree you can success with just your determination and motivation.
This perception is very frequently a propelling force in the decision for immigration.
Indeed they go to America in order to have a better life, a new job with good wages,
new house and to provide a better future for their children including education level.
The sacrifice of these immigrants shows us that they still believe in the American
dream since they leave their country and often their families besides they undergo
hardship during the trip.
Through their actions, we can see their bravery, their
determination, and their conviction to believe in this myth .
This immigrants believe
that on this land you can climb up the social ladder, it mean that you can go from
rags to riches thus America represents a place where you can fulfill your dream.
That’s why they still take the risk to start a new life in America because for them the
myth is still true.
Besides currently, the American culture is an influential culture almost everywhere in
the world, movies show us the American way of life thus in cinema, the American
dream is broadcast worldwide thanks to big budget movies so everybody see the
success of the characters who symbolizes the American dream, people also want to
succeed like them so they believe in this myth.
Of more we can say that many of
immigrants flee extremely difficult circumstances in their native countries like war, so
they still believe in the American dream because it’s a hope for them.
More generally, the American domination is in all medias, during the election of 2008
Barack Obama said Yes the American dream», this personification is a famous
example to shows the whole world including immigrants that the American dream is
still true.
Barack Obama started from scratch and thanks to his motivation and
determination today he is the first African American president of the United States,
therefore he realized his dream.
Of course in addition to that, when we think about
the segregation that was in America, and see today that the president is an African, it
illustrates that in America everything is possible.
Many people, who are known in the world, illustrate this myth such as bill gates who
is the richest man of the United States thank to his determination, motivation and his
work, he is a hardworking man.
To conclude with the influence of such factors the
myth is kept that’s why we can say that immigrants still believe in him.
However we
can say that today people are not attracted longer by the American dream as in the
past, with all economic crisis in the world, the living conditions are deteriorated so it’s
very hard to succeed without degree and money actually determination and.
