Identify the most common belief about the American Dream as shown in the pie chart. When looking at the Pie Chart, you are able to see that 62% of low-wage workers believe that if you keep working hard, you will get ahead in life. That is more than half the ideals. Describe one limitation of the pie chart in measuring beliefs about the American Dream. One of the limitations the pie chart has is not being able to present specific data. When interpreting the chart only percentages show not the specific amont of people who have the same beliefs. There is no mention of the amount of people who participated in the survey as well as how many people voted for each option. Explain one reason why it is difficult to measure belif about the American Dream. When it comes to different backgrounds, political perspectives, etc. It is hard to specifically measure who believes in what. Our backgrounds and political perspectives can allow us to change our views about things and with such information that needs to be put into consideration, It can become very hard to measure everyones belief about the American Dream.
