Piece of Writing : The American Dream

This is another piece of writing within 30 minutes in my english class. Basically about America as a myth of melting pot. But, sort of a "group" in America is not merged into our society, or methaporally, is not including into the melting pot. Not going to mention who are they, but i know readers might take some guesses who are those "group". Again, this piece of writing is not going judge any types of people in America, these are thoughts and deliberations. Hopefully, no sexist and pejorative language and minimized as possible. Thanks !

The American Dream

America, in the past, present and future, has been a dream place to be. As an exchange student, being in America for one year, is a prodigious experience. Many people come to this country, to earn new things, new hopes, in order to gain a better life. This also happens towards the immigrants around the world, whom has a willingness to move to America, to get betterment in many aspect of lives.

In my opinion, it is hard to move to somewhere than we have never been before. We might feel how harsh that place could be and insecure. But this immigrants is not giving up easily, they sailed in so many days, because many centuries ago, they have not build any planes, and carry their hopes into an effort to obtain equality of rights. In past decades, there are many immigrants from European countries. Dictatorship and Communisms are diffused in their countries, and they lost their civil rights. They start to think, how could we continue our life, our children's life, our grandchildren's life or even our generations, in a place that they are not even gain what they supposed to get ? This idea, triggers massive migration to America, and with a hope of a better future.

Life has not been that easy for the immigrants. They are faced by harsh condition, they start from zero. Lucky, if they could get a job easily, but at that time, there are only a few numbers of factory, but it is already dominated by settled-civilians. So, they decided to start a job from their house. Agriculture sector is the common thing for the immigrants have done. Many italian and french immigrants grow apples, grape, wheat, etc, either consumed by themselves or sold it. Besides job issues, in the past decades, racial become a public issue. African immigrants come to America, but they are admitted as a slave, when they migrate to north after civil war in order to get a better life, people are still unacceptable towards their existence, it is because, they get another competitiors for job, which on that time, it is so hard to get. That is the root of racialisms happening in the past. Many public signs are conditioned for white americans, but they have different signs for African American. If I were positioned on that time, I would have felt so much pressure. I start to think, this is the place where I believe I get equality, but why it is still the same.

It is still hard until now, how we could abolish those issues. Because the younger generation will get the effects of it. In school, students start to stereotype each other, in society, people start to black-sheeping each other. This is not the most comfortable thing, they are in the same country, they are in the same citizenship, then why they have to judging each other ?

At the end, although I never experienced such thing that I have mentioned in my arguments, I still believe that people move to america, although for temporary, they believe, this country will give so many beneficials, in terms of education, entertainment and a life scope.
