The Best and Worst of Americas Presidents Throughout U.S history there have been many good presidents and also many bad presidents. I believe that presidents should be graded on how they handle the economy, foreign policy, and equal rights. From our first president to our current president those I believe are the three most important grading points. A good economy is very important because it gives people a better living by giving them job opportunities and a way for people to make money. Foreign policy is important because it has a lot to do with the trade, technology, and communications of the United States.
D’Souza acknowledges that while there are many materialistic gains to be made in the American society the desire for immigration and the commonly held views of America has a more prominent reason, the American dream is a dream based on freedom. It is not necessarily a literal freedom from oppression but a freedom of choice, a freedom to create one’s own destiny. D’Souza’s most powerful and agreeable argument is that the Americans simply have a better standard of living in comparison to most countries. In many countries throughout the world living conditions cannot be changed. No amount of hard work or experience can change something that you were born into.
In many aspects, the class of jobs offered to the immigrants in United States is better than what they have in their countries of origin. The search for a good source of livelihood is one of the major reasons why people immigrate to the United States. Unfortunately, the nature of American job and their paycheck scheme is different from what obtains elsewhere; but even at that immigrants are happy to immigrate to the United States for these great

Others believe the American dream is to succeed and to get an education. Most people in America take advantage of the opportunities given to them. They don’t realize the struggle that other countries face and the limited opportunities they receive.

1 The Pursuit of the American Dream Yuma N. Vuono COM 156 University Composition and Communication II November 6, 2010 Regina Kleiner Axia College of University of Phoenix 2 The pursuit of the American Dream Many Americans strive to fulfill the all-American dream: career, marriage, homeownership, family, and ultimately, retirement. Most people are either ignorant or misinformed about the benefits of being a home owner, especially during this strained economy and may think homeownership is out of reach. Most people believe that renting or leasing a home or apartment is more economical compared to the responsibilities of owning a home. Statistically, owner-occupied housing provides benefits to both the homeowners and to society (Berson & Neely, 1997). Throughout history, many presidents believe homeowners contribute significant benefits to social and political stability by strengthening citizen's stakes in their communities as well as their government.
It is my primary point that these influential laws and policies that have transcended upon America have actually taken away what the nation was meant to represent from its past history. To conclude I have given implicit reasons as to why I feel that America is not the 3 nation that use to exist any longer. Freedom is not what it used to be and individual right are not as firmly seated in the country as many in powerful positions would like to make them appear to be. It is true that although Americans have a higher percentage of freedoms in the country compared to other nations it does not change the fact that times have changed and with changing times the shape of this nation is not the same. Although it
A stricter immigration policy should be employed Immigration is always a popular topic around the world, especially in the United States. And the motivation of most immigrants is to pursue a better life like an American Dream. And the inclusive society in the US is of great attraction to immigrants too. Recent years, immigration to the US is still at an increasing trend and the current level of immigration in the US is considered too high. Different political party always have a huge divergence towards immigration policy especially on the Political Campaign Activity because governmental policy towards immigration has a crucial influence to the amount of immigration, the practicality and cost.
if we as Americans wanted to have these jobs we could go get them right? Right but we choose not to so why stop others from doing it trying to make better lives for themselves. People in America are so quick to judge before they understand the full story they are humans just like us just trying to provide. As you can see from the reasons I have provided this is why we need to allow immigration here in the United States. So that they can have a chance to have a better life for them and their children.
American Dream United States of America is known as the land of opportunity for many immigrants who dream of a better life. Since the beginning of American history, the US has focused more about equal opportunity than any other country. There are many people who strongly believe that once they come to the United States it is almost guaranteed to find success. Also, they believe that we live in a very different world than them, living the American dream. However, it’s beginning to seem like this country is no longer the land of opportunity for those who are immigrants and the low class people.This is because of the difficulty to get a job, false assumptions, and heavily enforced social classes.
For one thing, a person’s salary would increase, therefore giving this person the illusion that they would be able to live a more luxurious lifestyle than before. This person may not realize at the time that a rise in the cost of living would also accompany a rise in the minimum wage. It is also crucial that the young people in America today get the experience they need within the work force because they are the ones who will be bringing this country forward in the future. If these young Americans cannot get jobs or experience now, how will they further their careers and produce effective services and products for the future generation of United States citizens? Many businesses do not realize the consequences of their actions when they hire older, more skilled employees for jobs just to save a few dollars.
