The purpose of the "Power, Privilege and the Purse" project is to really look into the reality of the American Dream. The essential questions are, "How real is the American Dream?" and "What is privilege, and how does it translate to power in society?" This project looks at inequalities among race, gender, and social class to see how it has affected the idea of the American Dream. The goal is to expand our minds to the different issues in America and how it affects it's citizens in a negative or positive way.
