              1. If we look at the Unites States nowadays, the American Dream changed :
                1. - People who start from scratch can't climb the social ladder anymore, and then can't reach the American Dream.
                  1. - Donald Trump no longer accepts immigrants then the American Dream is not available to "everybody".
                    1. Then, the representation of today's United States is well represented by the image at the top right: the richest (like Trump), govern the world leaving no place for the poorest. So, did the American dream really happen ?
                    2. - President Donald Trump does not give a good image of his country by making fun of other countries. So, the American dream is seen differently than what we used to see before.

                      1. - Many people indeed made it to the top and got very rich and famous thanks to the American dream, in the past but also in the XXe century.
                        1. Examples: Andrew Carnegie (1835 -1919), John Davison Rockefeller (1939 - 1937), or Oprah Winfrey…
                          1. - Obviously they didn't reach the American Dream easily : they worked hard and were strong-willed to make their dreams come true.
                            1. You must work hard if you want to reach the American Dream. The image at the top left represents perfectly this idea.
