This summer, the opportunity to visit the academician plan to visit the states in the United States. In addition to the typical political and economic center of the East Coast, it also visited the overseas territory of Puerto Rico on the southern end and the states of the Republican forces in the Midwest.Workers or the first generation of immigrants waiting for green cards are generally longing for Americans; indeed, they cannot complain in their mouths that they may be encountered anywhere, but they want to live in the United States.On the land, even if the mouth is lightly described, the eyes still reveal a dedication and desire.
What is an American dream?This is a statement that has always been attractive to the United States.From a materialized perspective, it is probably a stable work, and the minimum medical insurance can be paid. It can have its own housing and car. In the market where capitalism and commodity are fullEssenceIf you want to go to deeper, you can also add discussions on freedom, democracy and human rights, and an environment that the United States can make future generations carefree and grows. It is a country with the strongest economy in the world and the strongest military strength.There will be no war (only to invade others).
But is this really the case?Judging from the actual situation, resources are always limited, and development cannot maintain high growth.Since the Trump administration, it has experienced epidemic situation, economic stagnation and inflation, the distribution of politics and wealth has become more polarized, and the nomads can be seen everywhere on the East and West Banks, as well as increasingly frequent different attacks. All signs are inevitable.What happened to "American Dream".If you look at the US policy on immigrants and refugees today, the Democratic government has not done a good job. Although they know how to manipulate immigration issues to increase support during elections, the best example is May this year.When the governor of Texas governor of Governor sent many illegal immigrants to New York with a bus (Did you in charge of the Democratic Party in charge of the Democratic Party not advocated to tolerate and take care of these vulnerable immigrants?), But the new New York city mayor Adams, who has been in office, wantsIt ’s better to send these immigrants to other states, counties or Canada, in short, do n’t be in New York.
Even so, immigrants still rush to the United States, because as long as you are willing to work hard, it will not be too difficult to settle down and raise offspring.The unemployment rate in the United States in May has fallen below 4%, and non -agricultural employment positions have continued to increase. At least it shows that people who do not be too lazy and are willing to find a job.EssenceMany liberal economists have created a negative atmosphere. However, from a practical point of view, perhaps the decline of the United States is also an indisputable fact.American scholar Brandon King is in the American Dream: Dead, Living, or Hanging, although still affirmed the survival of the American dream, the core significance is different from the past.Even if living in the United States is still wealthy and security, more and more phenomena show that liabilities, anxiety, political polarization, and the monopoly facing large enterprises may be more and more common problems of Americans.
Low -cheap medical insurance, free all -person education, good social welfare networks, comprehensive infrastructure, more fair social and opportunities, and hard work can become the middle class. These situations occur in Denmark and Nordic., Not in the United States.If you have global mobile capabilities and professional competitiveness, many people may be more longing for any more cost -effective places in the world, and then go to the United States to travel or live short.The first generation of immigrants is much better.
Of course, moving to the United States is not all economic incentives, and many are based on security considerations.Especially in the border, the state of Dezhou, Arizona, etc., there are one of the considerable Latin American immigrants.Relatively rule of law and diverse society allow you to build your own home wherever you come from.R, from Venezuela, the family worked hard to move to Texas, and felt at least more stable than Ping'an in Venezuela. It is still waiting for the process of applying for a green card, but it has its own house -You can drink and drink in a bar on weekends, and you can fly to the east -west coast city of the east to west. The proper American middle -class appearance is the American life expected by many developing countries in developing countries.
This is back to a very realistic problem. In addition to objective environmental factors (democracy, rule of law, free market, etc.), the most important foundation for constructing "dreams" is money. Your wealth strength determines that you can live to be able to live.What kind of quality of life.For those who are working overseas overseas, most of them will not inherit considerable family assets. Only by working hard and continuously accumulate, there will be so -called freedom in money and leisure.
Is it good to be an American?Looking at the objective conditions of various items, it is really not bad, provided that you have to have the right identity, the strength of the middle class, and the creation of your own comfort circle.Otherwise, life may not be easier than in the original hometown.
