Another topic they talk about is how the American Dream is described as doing better than the generations before them. I agree with that since you can always do better as long as you put your mind to it. I do not agree with the fact that the American Dream is doing better than everyone in the generation before but I do think that doing better as a whole society is a very important thing. ]]> 2018-04-22 15:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254147234 halliesch5914 https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254147237 This video has multiple people describing the American Dream which is achieving greatness for most. A veteran was saying how being a millionaire is a very big aspect. I disagree since I think the Dream is being happy, comfortable with money, and having a good job. I do not think being a millionaire is an aspect because being happy is the most important thing. ]]> 2018-04-22 15:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254147237 halliesch5914 https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254147238 What Americans think the American Dream contains:
I agree with these statistics since this is how I describe the American Dream. ]]> 2018-04-22 15:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254147238 halliesch5914 https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254147239 These statistics show what most Americans think the American Dream contains. Most believe that it involves the following: having personal freedom,  achieving one's potential, met basic needs, having enough free time, being in harmony with nature, and achieving affluence. I agree with that because the dream has many aspects incorporated into the overall dream. I believe in all of those since you need to be comfortable and happy in order to achieve it. ]]> 2018-04-22 15:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254147239 halliesch5914 https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254147240 This article talks about how the American Dream is not attainable to most people. They state that in order to achieve the dream, the person must believe that it is possible to achieve it. Most people think that it is way too hard to achieve, which I think isn't trre. I think that anything is possible as long as you believe it is attainable. Something I do agree with that this article talks about is how the American Dream does not come as easily to some as others. Some people because of their race, religion, sex, etc. have less or more opportunities as others because of the way the United States is built.]]> 2018-04-22 15:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254147240 halliesch5914 https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254153518 These statistics show how the American Dream is dying since things just cost too much money. It is almost too hard to make it since job opportunities and cost of living is just so much. I agree since the cost of things has gone up so much and companies have been paying people less and less to save money for themselves. ]]> 2018-04-22 16:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254153518 halliesch5914 https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254153529 I interviewed my dad for this project. He gave me input on what he thinks the American Dream contains. ]]> 2018-04-22 16:30:07 UTC https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254153529 halliesch5914 https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254154296 This video shows how much it costs to raise a child in the middle class. This is an insane amount of money in my opinion since most people will not make this much in many years of working. The cost of kids should not be this high and it makes the Dream way harder to achieve. ]]> 2018-04-22 16:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254154296 halliesch5914 https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254172024 This quote from Martin Luther King Jr. has inspired many people that they can accomplish anything they put their mind to. You just have to work hard in order to get what you want and truly believe you can get it. "Let us therefore continue our triumphal march to the realization of the American dream... for all of us today, the battle is in our hands... The road ahead is not altogether a smooth one. There are no broad highways that lead us easily and inevitably to quick solutions... We are still in for the season of suffering... How long? Not long. Because no lie can live forever... our God is marching on." I agree and support this quote because the American Dream will not be easily achieved but it is achievable overall. ]]> 2018-04-22 19:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254172024 halliesch5914 https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254226085 This is my infographic containing all of my conclusions to what the American Dream is. ]]> 2018-04-23 02:51:04 UTC https://padlet.com/halliesch5914/1lpjoqq0yveu/wish/254226085
