The American vs. Italian, Brazilian dream, etc?

As economic conditions are becoming much closer and similar worldwide, at least inside developed and emerging nations, the term "American dream" appears to be losing some of its uniqueness, potency, and appeal. 

It’s no longer what it used to be. Initially and historically, the American Dream was associated with the idea that anyone, regardless of their background, could achieve success through hard work and determination. This notion has often been tied to the promise of upward mobility, material affluence like home ownership, and financial security. 

However, a number of elements have changed over the years while economic disparities have widened both within the US and globally, and as other countries have experienced economic growth, the perception of the American dream as a uniquely attainable ideal has diminished. 

Factors such as reduced life expectancy, social inequality, lingering racism, religiosity, huge health costs, spread of firearms and mass killings, stagnating wages for many, raising Gini index and runaway costs of living, have begun to seriously erode into what the traditional notion of the American dream used to be. 

Now that Trump is preparing his dreaded return to offer us a supercharged American nightmare, he’ll further destroy what had become to be a myth.

This, in conclusion, means that the ___________ dream (plug in your favorite country) might be every bit as good as its heralded American version. One just has to work harder by a few percentage points than their peers, take more risks, be more visionary and of course, be lucky!
