Analyse af det amerikanske samfund og 'American Dream'

America is a land with freedom and civil rights, a land where many immigrants live, a land with crime and where the death penalty is used.

America is also called the “American Dream”. It is different for everyone, but it consists of the ability to be successful, free and control our own destiny. Everyone lives in America as they want to live. Nobody says anything against other peoples way of life. They are all treated the same, therefore has everyone the chance to succeed.

However, many people think that the American Dream has changed into a nightmare, because not everything is as perfect as it might seem. There are for example a lot of crimes like drug dealing and drug taking. In addition, many people have illegal weapons, especially in cities. And also racism between blacks, whites and all immigrants, is a negative point of America. So, if you succeed and live the American Dream, you will be very happy, but if you fail, life can really be terrible and this could maybe lead to commit a crime.

Crime in America has become more gruesome with the time. It is a serious issue that affects the victims, offenders and their families and friends. Crimes include murder, manslaughter, speeding, hijacking, kidnapping, armed robbery, shoplifting, blackmail, drug dealing and rape.
