Uddrag
In source 1, the article “The American dream is alive and well — outside the US”, we hear about “The American dream”, the greats of it, and how it sounds like a dream to most people.

The article then flips your expectations by saying that there is no “American dream”, or at least not in America - But outside America “The American Dream” is alive and well.

The article states that you are more likely to fulfil your hopes and expectations of “The American dream” outside the United States.

Saying that ―The American dream‖ is dead inside the US may seem like a harsh statement, but nowadays that is the truth. With the rising house prices and stagnant wages in the US, it seems to be more logical to seek

―The American dream‖ in other countries such as Denmark, the U.K. or Canada.

A study published by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, shows that in the US the likelihood for children born in the bottom fifth of income distribution to reach the top fifth is about 7.5 percent, were as the Canadian children has about a 13.5 percent.

You may think that this is only true to a small percentage of the population, but that certainly is not the case, as 69% of Americans are saying that obstacles to achieving ―The American dream‖ are more severe than ever today.
