Project: Toc: Whatever Happen Upward Mob?

1. Tocqueville argued that the American Dream of upward mobility is a primary social goal/value that makes America work; & that people tolerate inequality here because they care much more about being able to move up than where they are on the economic scale.  Do you agree, ie is upward mobility necessary to make America work?  Discuss.  Must social mobility & social equality be opposite social goals?  Discuss?  Is there an alternative to mobility? 

2.  Can you still move up in America?  Give reasons why you believe one way or the other based on (E)xperience or (K)nowledge / theory

3.  What happened to upward mobility?  That is, what factors have changed our chances of upward mobility?
