In the following presentation I will be looking at the article provided and making an analysis of it.
The blog article is about a discussion on the American Dream held at the Edison CEO Summit at Harvard Business School. The American Dream was first introduced by James Truslow Adams in 1931, who defined it as a dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability determination and productivity.
The discussion is about whether the American Dream is still alive and its meaning today for the society. While cultural values have evolved in the U.S., the experts agreed that the basic premise of hard work is the core. The experts also agreed that education is key to achieving the American Dream, but also that the education system and, therefore, the American Dream is under attack due to social class.
The article also addresses the question of whether the American Dream is still possible today, given the challenges of inequality. The Equality Project's research on upward mobility shows that children born in the 1980s have just a 50/50 chance of surpassing their parents from an economic perspective.
Education is highlighted as a critical factor in achieving the American Dream, and both experts agree on the importance of education. However, Professor Abdelal have concerns about the challenges of achieving upward mobility due to the influence of social class, while Bennett emphasizes the need to focus on basic education.
