My American Dream...... A lot of people have asked me that, but what is THE AMERICAN DREAM? people say "My American Dream is to get a degree, a good job, have a house and a family, nice car, etc.." It really sounds like a dream...........AT the beginning but have you ever thought that all the things that people say Their American Dream is....Everyone in every other country has that dream, yeah i know some people never get a degree, a house a good job, a nice car, but a few people in other countries still manage to get what some people might call their AMERICAN DREAM. The name AMERICAN dream, shouldn't that be a dream that can only be fulfilled in America? why would it be so special calling it the American Dream if it can be accomplished in other places too. I do NOT have a AMERICAN DREAM, I just have a dream like everyone else does.... TO BE SOMEONE IN LIFESunday, July 15, 2012

This is an insightful response to the question of the American Dream. I think it questions the misplaced notion of American exceptionalism that is so pervasive today. Nice job. I like how you changed the layout of your blog too!
ReplyDeleteYour point is well taken regarding the "American Dream" It perhaps should be called our "Dream Life". You are right everything is a matter of choice. Do you choose to be a Creator or a Victim?
