Even though there are examples of people achieving their pursuit there are some downsides to the American society that makes it hard for the average person to be successful. For example, America has very low social mobility.

When living out the American dream you can start with nothing and end up having everything you dreamt of. This would of cause be the ideal.

America is known to be a land of opportunity where you can start at the bottom and end up being in the top.

Living out the American dream you are the architect of your own future, everyone is equal – and therefore everyone is capable of reaching the American Dream.

^Individualism is an important aspect.

Also, they believe in the goodness of the man. This is also why they can give people guns --> if a bad man comes by with gun a good man also has a gun.

The American dream is a symbol of coming from nothing, and then become a huge success.

The American dream is a big part of being an american, because if you look back in the american history, you’ll see how the first americans, accomplished building a new and better life from nothing. And this is what every american dreams about.

The American Dream is the belief, that anyone regardless of where they were born or what class they were born into, can become successful in society, because social mobility is possible for everyone in society.

The American Dream is achieved through

-       Sacrifice

-       Risk-taking

-       Hard work
- Will-power

The American Dream is rooted in the declaration of independence

-       “all men are created equal”

-       with the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”

I mainly associate the American dream with the term freedom and the ability to build your own life. That of course involves a lot of social mobility because the idea is basically that no matter how poor you are or whatever kind of family or life you are born into you can still work for and achieve the exact life you want. It is very ideal and optimistic and I no way realistic in the modern USA.
Equality is also an important keyword. In the American dream there is also the idea that everyone is born equal (therefor have equal opportunities).
