A General Idea of American Dream

The idea of American dream is deeply stuck in the American people’s minds. American people strongly believe that if they had work hard enough, one day they will reach the American dream and become successful, even when people are facing difficulties about having a job. However, the American dream should not be all about wealth, it’s also more about the country’s freedom of liberty, and the health of family. However, many American people wants to have a better life, and they believe that if they had work hard enough they will reach their American dream and become wealth and successful.

The American dream is important for American people, since the American dream has a lot of similarity with the Declaration of Independents. For example, “The authors of the United States ‘Declaration of Independence held certain truths to be self-evident: that all man are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Right, that among these are life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Might this sentiment be considered the foundation of the American dream?” (Article 1, Anonymous) This quote proves that the original idea of the American dream in the American culture is not only about wealth, the freedom of liberty is also the important part of the American dream. Also, many people’s life did change from the American dream. For example, “Freedom to live our own life.” “ Created equal” “To become whatever I want to be” “Working at a secure job, being able to have a home and live as happily as you can not spending too much money”(Article 3,Katharine Q. Seelye) These quote is the true respond for the American people, and it perfectly shows how American people is achieving their American dream about have a house, a healthy family...

The American dream is twisting a lot between the 20-something generation and now, since the outside condition is different when they grow up. However, some younger people still believe that the original idea of the American dream is really important for the sociality. For example, “what surprised me is that amount the young people we talked to, the conventional domestic dream — a plot of land, a house, a family that’s healthy - is still alive and well, Ms. Schaffer said” (Article 2, LENA WILLIAMS) This quote shows many people is still remembering what is the original idea of the American dream, and not believing that American dream is only about wealth.

Everyone have a different idea of the American dream, people are living in their own life, and everyone gets to choice their own idea of the American dream. Since people is not living in the same outside condition. Many people think American dream is only about getting wealthy and successful, and people did achieve their American dream by simply getting wealthy and successful. For example, “and others who speak of being “rich and famous” as the dream comes true” many people also achieved their American dream by just getting wealthier.

American dream is not a thing and not a page of paper; it’s a dream and believes for all the American people to change their life. Many people had achieved their dream by working hard, since they believe if they had work hard enough they will reach their American dream and become successful and earned respect by being treated equally. There for, American dream is not all about wealth, its also the freedom of liberty they get, and their family’s life change.
