Hi all!
some of my topics were

How did immigrants and immigrant culture arguably shape our country into what it is now?

The evolution of rights men Vs women and get into how men progressed easier and faster than women have into how things are now

will there be an american dream to live out? or will climate change disrupt your opportunities

Going into each of these topics im really more interested in the top 2 above^ the 3rd was just an idea but i’m not too sure if it would be executed properly so take that with a grain of salt! I’m really interested into researching how immigrants have made such an impact as to how our country is now. Because to me it’s important to give recognition to a lot of cultures that helped shape how things are and influence food and fashion which are things relevant in my life. For the 2nd topic idea about the progression of men and women’s rights and how they progressed, any setbacks there were etc. I would be interested to see how it kinda went as a race since men had progressed farther than us women and get into it all! And like i said the 3rd topic would be interesting but i feel there wouldn’t be much room for a lot of information to be said but i could be terribly wrong im just unsure of how i would go about it! Thank you

Hi!
I want to explore a few different things that it will be hard to decide between.
My first option is to discuss how the American dream affects women. I think it is important to learn from history and unfortunately a lot revolves around mostly white men being in power and it taking a few centuries for anyone else to have a say.
Another thing I want to explore is what the American dream means for housing. We are all college students and baby adults. Some of us rent and some of us understand the housing market. Especially that none of us can afford anything in the housing market.

# data[].attributes.body
Women and the American dream-  The women of the 20th century wanted the right to vote and better jobs. I would like to explore more about the suffrage movement and why women wanted to gain the right to vote.

The great depression and the American Dream- During this time Americans lost their jobs and were trying to make money to continue making their American dream.
I Want to explore what happened during the great depression and how it stalled the idea of the American dream for most Americans.

Coming to America: refugees in the U.S - the immigrants coming to America were escaping their countries to find a new life In America. I want to explore the different stories from immigrants coming to America

Coming to America – Refugees in the U.S.

Not being respected being a refugee in the United States and finding it hard to adapt to the american way of living.

Having to work in terrible condition such as factories and getting very little pay.

With the idea with living among the american dream they has to work hard to get where they wanted and being they are refugees they aren't going to get treated as if they were an american because they weren't "born" in america

Creating a life for themselves and there families because they came to America hoping for a better life and way of living.

# data[].attributes.body
Generations – what would the prevailing attitudes be about the American Dream

Depending on the generation if you are being born into the ideal american dream then you will have the attitude that everything will be handed to you.

With everything being handed to you, you wont understand the hard work and struggles many go through to get to a successful point in life.

Some that have to work hard have that survival mentality and attitude that if they want something in life they have to work hard for it, it is simply not handed to them.

Each generation should have achieved more than other generation previous setting each other generation up for a successful way of living.

Racial and ethnic disparities and the American Dream

African Americans specifically are not being given equal rights and opportunities just because of the color of their skin and stereotypes.

Due to their social class they may not have a high paying jobs and or jobs available for them and more make less money.

Having to put in double the work because life doesn't come easy when it comes to the ideal American Dream
