The American dream, it's a phrase we've all heard before, and for decades, Americans largely agreed on what it meant.

Well, now new data suggests that among young people, the American dream may not be defined the same way as older Americans do.

NBC10 political commentator

Sue O 'Connell is here.

She walks us through the data.

So what is the American dream in a historical sense, and what do

Americans dream of now, Sue?

Well, Glenn, as long as America has been a country, we've had the American dream, the principle of the American dream,

equality, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

You know those words.

They're in the U .S.

Constitution.

And for decades, most of us believed it meant that if you worked hard, followed the rules, you can get a job,

own a home, raise a family.

But that was then.

This is now.

Consider the results of a new survey completed by Howdy .com.

76 percent of Gen Z and millennials believe the dream is workplace portability, meaning work from home.

And it turns out young people may not even need America to realize their American dream.

77 percent of those surveyed say they believe their lives would be better outside the U .S.

And 51 percent say just leaving the country is the new American dream.

Now, you may think there's some anti -American sentiment in those answers, and perhaps there is, but the study makes it clear.

Young people want a job and they prefer to work for an American company.

They just don't want to have to come into the office every day

and would prefer to live everywhere as opposed to owning a single home in a single place.

Some would define that as freedom.

I mean, Sue, you talk about, you know, working maybe on Zoom, but you're on a beach somewhere and you just don't show the video.

That sounds like the American dream.

But OK, but we seriously, we do say, you know, work from home.

It became popular, we know, because of the pandemic.

Are we to believe the coronavirus has had this big of an effect?

Well, in a way, Priscilla, yes.

The pandemic obviously proved that some members of the American workplace could work from home or from anywhere.

But the definition of the American dream always changes and was already changing.

Consider this.

In 1940, 92 percent of children could expect to earn more than their parents.

Today, only about 50 percent of Americans earn more than their parents did.

Now, that means that's a dramatic decline in economic mobility and housing costs.

Right.

Talk about it all the time traditional home ownership

which was the cornerstone of the american dream is becoming increasingly unattainable

so the elements

that defined what the american dream was for decades are no longer available to most americans

and so i know for some people having a family would be the american dream

so how does the fertility rate factor into all of this

so the fertility fertility rate refers to how many children are being born per woman in the u .s here

and across the country, across the country and the world, obviously, the fertility rate has been declining for several years.

It's now at a historic low of 1 .64 expected births per woman's lifetime.

For comparison, in 1960, when I was born, it was 3 .5 children per woman.

So there are many reasons why, including affordability.

But many people will tell you, Glenn, like you said, a driving force to buy a home or put down roots is starting a family.

So when people are delaying children and having smaller families, the need to stay put decreases, and that means it's easier to be a digital nomad.

All right, really interesting data coming out of that.

Sue O 'Connell, thanks so much.

Very interesting, because you know at the top level, it's shocking, but when Sue peels back the layers, it makes all the sense in the world.

I know.

I mean, the American dream can mean so many different things, but work from home on a beach.

I like that.

I think you're stuck on that one.

That's a good one.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
