Case Study for American Dream




While we are reading the novel this week for homework, we will be working on a case study on marriage in class. The purpose of this project is to hypothesize and investigate. We want to discover something about the American Dream in today's society through interviews and research. Here are the requirements for this group project:

1. Case Study Report (example in Dropbox)
    A. It's up to your group who writes what part in the report.
    B. In section 3.0 Research Background, everyone needs to write one section each (needs an
        authentic source)

2. Interviews
    A. Everyone in your group should interview two people each
    B. Come up with interview questions as a group
    C. Interview RELEVANT people for your case study (no one in our class)

3. Questionnaire
    A. At least 30 people

4. Poster
    A. Present your findings to the class
         * summarize your case study report: what were you trying to find out about the AD?
         * what did you find out about your hypothesis through your interviews/questionnaire?


Potential Topics about the American Dream
1. American Dream and Marriage/Romance/Divorce
2. American Dream and other Cultures (Hispanic, Asian, European) 
3. American Dream and Religion
4. American Dream and the Economy/Work Force
5. American Dream and Society/Success/Sports/Hollywood
