Death of the American Dream?

I would argue against the idea that the American Dream is dead. I feel that the people who doubt that the American Dream is still real are those people who have faced some sort of adversity in their lives and have given up on their dream, believing that it is impossible to achieve. However, there are still many cases where people have been able to make a name for themselves or rise up in the face of adversity and achieve their goals. An example of the American Dream in action is Mark Cuban. He was able to come from a working class family and eventually become an entrepreneur and billionaire at a very young age. While this is an extreme example of the American Dream, it proves that the there is still hope for many people who believe that they can improve their current situations through hard work and perseverance.
