the american dream
to me the american dream is to be happy with yourself and what you do. I didnt really say anything in the discussion last week but i did listen to what everyone else was discussing and i have seen that not everyone has the same american dream. Martin Luther King Jr.s dream was to see that all men and woman no matter what race or religon they would live together in brotherhood.

I don't think it's right to judge anyone's version of the American Dream, whether it's the stereotypical dream with a white picket fence or the broader dream of finding a job that fulfills you. However, I do think that you have to be careful how you try to fulfill your dream, because you could pretty much wreck your life if you focused too hard on one aspect of the dream and excluded all others.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you jordan. i think that every person is different therefore they will all want something else in their life. they will all have their own american dream, and i think in the end they have to make the decision on what will make them happy and what will be socially acceptable.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jordan. If you are not happy with yourself you can't be happy with anyone else. I think everyone wants the American Dream, but everyone's is different in some way. People also reach their goals differently.
