Hvorfor valgte danskerne at udvandre til USA?

Indledning

Tidsperioden fra 1870 til 1914 var en meget speciel periode både i Danmark, men så sandelig også for USA. Industrialiseringen var i fuld gang i Danmark, men kunne ikke blive ved med at holde sin høje udvikling. Faktisk gik det næsten i stå i nogle perioder, og derfor søgte mange danskere til USA. Folk havde hørt så meget godt om det, og industrialiseringen var i fuld gang i mange af storbyerne. Var det typisk folk, som intet arbejde havde, eller som ikke var tilfreds med sit nuværende liv og ville jage den amerikanske drøm, eller andre personer? Hvad var de præcise årsager til deres udvandring, og var den vellykket eller mislykket? Jeg vil altså opnå et bedre indblik i den amerikanske udvandring og påvirkninger til dette. [Læs mere…]

Indledning

Charles Darwin spillede en stor rolle i den samlede opfattelse af livet i dag, hans teorier har påvirket udviklingen i hele verdenen og har derved også påvirket menneskets syn på religion og i den forbindelse arternes oprindelse, men hvordan kunne en enkelt mand ændre en hel verden syn på livet? Og i hvilket omfang påvirkede det menneskets opfattelse af livet og hvilken udvikling skete der i for eksempel litteraturen, ændrede den sig i takt med resten af verdenen? En mand som gjorde noget, som man i realiteten ikke kan forestille sig. En mand som ændrede en hel verden, som fik en hel verden til at gå fra gud til Darwin. [Læs mere…]

Den amerikanske drøm – død eller levende?

Abstract

The study investigates whether the American dream still exists. In order to measure that, the study is based on information and knowledge from 3 different perspectives. These perspectives are: a political perspective, an economic perspective and a cultural perspective. This method has been used to clarify all the nuances of the American dream. The paper examines the development in the income equality, by using the Gini-coefficient. Since the mid eighties The US has experienced a remarkable growth in income inequality, leaving a gap between the rich and the poor of the society. That type of growing inequality has a negative influence on the social mobility, and the study shows that the inc0me inequality impairs the American Dream of upward m0bility. The study also investigates how political initiatives can have an influence on the American dream. Obamacare is analysed from both an ideological perspective and from a more specific point of view, where the Obamacare subsidies-system is under investigation, to clarify what influence this has on the American dream. Definitively the paper shows that the American dream is not measureable from a statistic point of view, but despite of lack of tangible evidence that the dream is still alive, there is still believe to some extent among the population, in the American dream, and as long as there is believe, the dream cannot be found dead.
