"Crestwood Heights" is a comprehensive study of a prosperous Canadian community, representing the modern Western middle-class lifestyle and its associated dilemmas. Conducted by social scientists over five years, the research delves into various aspects of community life, including child-rearing, education, and social competition, revealing the community's deep concern with contemporary living issues. The findings highlight the universal challenges faced by middle-class suburban dwellers across North America, illustrating how the pursuit of the North American Dream often leads to common perplexities and frustrations.
