The "greasy white dude's" view on the American Dream; is that it's currently dormant or asleep. The American Dream, in my opinion is worth living if the option to choose to live the American Dream is available. From my personal experience, having a full family in the home, and being in the middle class, is a comfortable experience, which I prefer over what's valued today. The most important factor in this, is that this was a choice of mine, and my family.

My Boy started off the Ted Talk with an example of the American Dream of the past, with an Italian Family, creating their own bank and being successful. He did this to provide evidence as to why he thinks about the American Dream the way he does. It's hardly effective because this can still be achieved today; he brings up examples of Cities in debt, and students in debt; when debt and getting out of it helps the economy, doesn't harm it, the students have many ways to earn their way out of debt, and cities tend to pay off their debt with Taxes. oof

Americans lost their way with the american dream. yes. because its a perfect life style and more positive vibes and less negativity.

Kevin 11 thinks we should solve these problems with companies hiring more diverse populations, this I disagree with, if you earn a job, it should be upon individual achievement and qualification and not what you look like. He believes White Men have roadblocked others from being successful, which doesn't make sense, because anyone can become an entrepreneur; and create their own successful business in America. Working your way to the top should be valued, it shouldn't be given for free.

to get the audience attention. yes because he got their attention and made his point.

he thinks big companies should hire in a more diverse way

To show you that some families went through the same things to get to their american dream. This was kind of effective because they started with nothing and became number one

My guy is less inspiring than my toaster. ( ಠ_ಠ)
I don't think it has much meaning, or purpose because the American Dream is an ideology, and ideas don't die, ever. The American can become less popular, but it can never truly fade.

# data[].attributes.body
not really because i don't believe the american dream it's just a dream and not all dreams come true.

I think his speech is inspiring because it makes you want to push toward the american dream.

The speaker's view on the American Dream is that the American Dream has been stolen from us people all over the world but if we come together and take back what is rightfully ours and share with others all over the world. I believe the American Dream is worth living but I don't believe that your life is based on the American Dream because if you expect to live the American Dream without working for it then you'll end up stuck in the same place 10 years later. You ever had an older person tell one of their old time stories about how they used to be the man? They were a victim of the "American Dream" due to the fact that they thought that everything was going to be handed to them.

# data[].attributes.body
his view on the american dream is a story or a myth

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the fact that his view is that people have different opinions on the American dream.

# data[].attributes.body
i think it was inspiring because it talk about how somebody over came a struggle they where going against and how they over came it.and grew into a better people .

He relates back to Maria and her family coming to American, without a trade or a way to support her family. They were viewed as outsiders and wanted change but they also felt lost.

# data[].attributes.body
We can solve the problem by talking about our differences and celebrating them. Agree: When he says that diversity is important.
Disagree: That the American is dead.

# data[].attributes.body
He thinks we should solve the problems by having people from more diverse populations.

# data[].attributes.body
It is somewhat is because he talks about the struggles that americans go through still today.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, because Kevin makes some key points on the struggles of the American dream.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like he is inspiring because he was letting people know that if you were born living the american dream then of course you are going to be pro american dream because thats all you know but for others it is a struggle. There are two sides of the american dream the good side where you are given all the benefits of life where as on the bad side you are living thestuggle of having to worry about where your next meal is coming from or how youre going to pay nexts months rent

he's basically saying its sleeping or dead and we need to bring it back

that the american dream is just a dream and how it should be brought back. yes i believe that the american dream is worth living because  America provides opportunities that no other country can .in other countries you have to follow there rules and how they want you to do things but in america you can be who you want to be , do what you want and be free to make your own choices .

# data[].attributes.body
he wanted to show an example of the american dream in his family

# data[].attributes.body
It would be worth living, only if it was actually possible to achieve, the If only it didn't take so much sacrifice to achieve, the overwhelming sacrifice of psychological, emotional, and physical, that bring about the real worth of even attempting such. The disregard of morals, empathy, sympathy, and ethics seem to be the only way to get anywhere, and that most who achieve the dream already have it handed to them.

He said to solve problems people need to reach out and engage with the world. We all need to put our beautiful diverse minds together. By doing this, we can expand our own dreams by making the American Dream possible for others.

# data[].attributes.body
i think he is inspiring because he states some good key points on the american dream and how the american dream is kind of missing but it is also his his opinion on the american dream

# data[].attributes.body
he wanted to give an example of how someone lost everything but was able to build back up and live the american dream

# data[].attributes.body
first he started out examples of how the american dream was founded then he works his way up to how it was destroyed and the after effect of it then he talks about how we should bring the dream back and how it we will benefit from it.

# data[].attributes.body
yes. because it can lead people the right way to the american dream.

# data[].attributes.body
He believes that the American Dream is dead and that we as Americans need to work together to bring it back. Yes. Because if we work together as Americans we can bring it back so it'll be worth living.

# data[].attributes.body
He snatched the audience's attention by telling an "American Dream" story of his own. This was effective by making the audience think and relate.

# data[].attributes.body
that we should solve our problem and come together to grow as one , agree because why cant we get together and solve our problems for the best of us . so we can grow and be better people and see other succeed.

# data[].attributes.body
He did make some great points. When he said that we have lost the American Dream and how some are excluded from having a “tackle” at the American Dream. That was two things that he said that was inspiring

# data[].attributes.body
His view on the American Dream is that it has suffered, its lost within.
It will be worth living once there is an actual "American Dream". America provides "new lease on life" for some, of course you have to sacrifice throughout those sacrifices you tend to lose passion. That's how many stop believing in the "American Dream" and focus on surviving.

# data[].attributes.headline
Kevin believes that by hiring more diverse populations and giving everyone the opportunity to the "American Dream" without being road blocked then we all can achieve the dream. I agree when he says the American dream has been road blocked but I don't agree with by hiring diversity is going to solve anything.

I don't think the speech is very inspiring and purposeful because it's just another "Sound good" type of speech. Meaning that it all sounds good, fine and dandy but its just a dream; especially when it comes to poverty, there isn't no "American Dream" it's just a fairytale story that we're all tired of hearing.

Kevin thinks we should solve the problems by hiring people by there ethnicity and gender, i disagree because it should be how qualified you are not how you look

# data[].attributes.body
No because he gave us false things to follow, i don't want to get turned down from a job i worked hard for because of the where i was born or the color of my skin that's not right i should be equal as anyone else if i am qualified for it.

# data[].attributes.body
He was making a point on how people can do things no matter where they came from as long as they use their mind and move forward you can get to where you want to be

Kevin is saying the american dream is dead, in my opinion it was never alive. We have never been free even when we feel free something is always holding us on lock, back in the day it was slavery and now its police corruption or murder America had a dream and it will forever remain an unseen dream

He started of talking about his ancestor because he wanted to give a general understanding of the american dream when it was in it's prime. It was effective because it portrayed the Dream when anyone could build a life from scratch.

# data[].attributes.body
He believes that anti-discrimination is the way to reviving the american dream. I disagree with such, as because it is not what brings prosperity, but equality. I see this as not a solution to the Dream, but a separate solution to a whole other problem entirely.

# data[].attributes.body
I see his speech as purposeful, but not inspiring. His view on the Dream is quite accurate, however his solution is not one that seems to aid with personal prosperity, but one of social acceptance. His view for social acceptance is not a bad one, yet off topic to the issue of prosperity.
