21st Century American Dream

The twenty first is a very exciting yet scary time to be a part of. Thanks to the birth of the internet information is exploding and growing exponentially in every direction. Thanks to this people that once did not have the resources to achieve their dream now have a mobil library in their home. Someone who lives in a remote region of Alaska that is 100 miles away from any university can attend college online. I believe it is now easier for people to achieve their American Dream more than ever before, however I do not believe that everyone has equal access to the American Dream. If someone works really hard someone could get into an Ivy league school and get their dream job, or someone who's family is wealthy and has parents that attended can get in purely on their families status and depending on his grades maybe a little extra greese in the form of a donation. I do not believe that this is right however this is how the world works. The people who right the checks are the ones who run the world. They have money and everybody needs it to live unfortunitely. It has been this way thousands of years, whoever has what others want whether it be power, money, land runs the show. Although we like to this over the years that we have become more sophisticated and less barbaric we have only gotten better at hiding corruption. Sadly no one wants to adress these issues because they would essentially be shooting themselves in the foot by trying to knock down our captains of industry a peg or two. No one wants to hurt their own careers to make their point. No one can blame someone for wanting to protect themselves, however when do we say that we have had enough?
