The American Dream and American Identity are one and the same. The motivation and effort needed to complete the dream shows the perseverance the American Identity represents.]]> 2018-04-03 17:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/248226861 https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/248227867 Yes!!! The American dream is formed by the American identity! I loved the way you put it! It's like the American identity is what enables us to live our American dream, and the American dream cultivates our American identity! ]]> 2018-04-03 17:35:43 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/248227867 https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/248540995 Americans are fueled by the opportunities handed to them. The American Identity is the common belief of individual freedom. The identity that Americans hold allow for them to dream and to have an equal opportunity to achieve success. ]]> 2018-04-04 15:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/248540995 https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/248542915 I like how you included that it takes motivation to achieve dreams. ]]> 2018-04-04 15:27:07 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/248542915 https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/248564191 I like that people are defined by their dreams because it is what drives you and makes you happy which is the American dream. ]]> 2018-04-04 16:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/248564191 https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/248565083 Americans are fueled by the opportunities handed to them which I think is the American dream and it ties into the American identity.]]> 2018-04-04 16:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/248565083 https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/248593747 The American dream is what Americans hope to achieve in the future. Whatever they end up achieving, whether it is what they wanted to achieve or not, becomes the "American Identity". When we say "American Identity", this could mean two things: either the way Americans identify themselves, or they way everyone else sees Americans. These two "identities" could be very different.

I never thought about it that way. ]]> 2018-04-04 17:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/248598245 https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/248947913 I enjoy your point that the two identities can be very different. Do you feel like there is more than just two identities? ]]> 2018-04-05 16:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/248947913 https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/249453317 American dream is what you want to achieve as an individual. While American identity can either be what you view yourself and others as, or it could also be what other countries view Americans as.]]> 2018-04-07 18:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/249453317 https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/249453810 I've never thought of people being defined by their dreams. I think that's an interesting and cool way to think about how American Dream and American Identity are actually connected.]]> 2018-04-07 18:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/249453810 https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/250944800 There can be many different identities, but I think that these are the two main categories in which we can distinguish them.]]> 2018-04-11 22:32:24 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/250944800 https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/251937167 The American Dream and the American Identity are different because the American Dream is harder and harder to reach, is no longer part of the American identity, and American Identity is more established now than when the American Dream was born.]]> 2018-04-15 21:08:25 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/251937167 https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/251946635 The American Dream and the American Identity are definitely different, but in the future could come to the same thing. We have developed a lot of equality over the years so if we continue this path, the American Dream will become American Identity. ]]> 2018-04-15 22:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/251946635 https://padlet.com/seodell/3o5r1638xopc/wish/251946854 That is very true I never thought to view it as what a individual wants to achieve! It is a wonderful point I do think it would be taken further but it definitely is good!
