Hey! That's unlucky you haven't been taught it!������ I write about 3 different ethnic groups which differ in success, Asians being generally successful, Black Americans tending to fail the American Dream generally obviously with some exceptions and then I talk about Hispanics which is fairly balanced (well I argue it to be)
Intro - explain American Dream and mention ethnic groups you will discuss
Asians - 5% population yet 50% of graduates, more Asians earn $200,000 than any other ethnic group : analyse this and talk about employment, many in medicine etc to show success and how in general Asians have achieved
Black Americans - 48% home ownership compared to white ownership at 75% - shows signs of poverty - talk about poverty (1 in 4 below poverty line) and I go on to discuss blacks living in ghetto and how this can lead to crime etc thus illustrating the general failure of the AD
I also do a para on Blacks success however, although in general they have failed to achieve the AD, there are exceptions such as Obama. Discuss him.
Hispanics - half leave school by ages 14 (grade 8) lowering employability and opportunities. Analyse the effects of this. 4 million Hispanic families in poverty. Failure to achieve AD, however...
Studies show Hispanics are more likely than any other ethnic group to have a family member in full time work and 74% leave school to support family. This shows hard work and some do achieve the AD and have the potential to.
Hope this helps a little
