It wasn't about having money or wealth, it was simply about having a better quality of life. As the years went on, the American Dream meaning has changed. For some people, especially those who were born here, often times have the mindset that the American Dream is about having money and being rich. However, this is not true for everyone who is going after the American Dream. It today's society, it means to come to the U.S.A. and find a place where you can find jobs and opportunities to work and provide for your family, to make sure they are alright. It also means to have a good and better future for yourself and help secure a better future for those you love.]]> 2018-12-13 18:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/9cqv269bfsdn/wish/314410033 https://padlet.com/lfross/9cqv269bfsdn/wish/314410077 Over time the American dream has changed a lot. At first it was to be equal and live life to the fullest. People didn't care as much about things more about people and happiness of themselves and others.

This has changed over time. The American dream used to mean that Americans have freedom and many rights to be happy and pursue their dreams. But now, many people use the "American dream" to become rich, or become famous. People will work all day every day just to get a bigger house, or fancier clothes.

When America was newly established, people had the dream of anyone, no matter who they are, can live a comfortable life with your family and be treated equally. However, over time, that dream has changed. Recently, people have found that instead of searching for a comfortable life with everyone else, people have been pursuing high amounts of wealth and success. People have been looking less for time shared with family, and more for high paying jobs that will make them rich.]]> 2018-12-13 18:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/9cqv269bfsdn/wish/314410445 https://padlet.com/lfross/9cqv269bfsdn/wish/314410479 Over the years the idea of the american dream has thoroughly changed. Many years ago the american dream was the idea that any one person can achieve their dreams and goals, no matter what background or your family situation. The American Dream has changed a lot since that time. Now we believe the American dream is just used for an excuse for people to become famous or rich. It has become a competition of wealth, which is the exact opposite of what it was intended to be. The American Dream used to be the reason why people came to America, because anything can happen in america, but this has completely changed. ]]> 2018-12-13 18:48:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/9cqv269bfsdn/wish/314410479 23agarland https://padlet.com/lfross/9cqv269bfsdn/wish/314410662 The american dream has changed over time from when it was first said.

In the beginning, people thought that the "Creator" brings life, liberty, the the pursue of happiness. That is where the whole idea of the American dream began. Next, they thought that people could create happiness on their own, and that it depends on who you are or what you do to decide that. Others think it is the actual things you have and can afford that pursue happiness, but others believe the total opposite. Over the years, the American Dream has changed in many ways. ]]> 2018-12-13 18:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/9cqv269bfsdn/wish/314410840 23jkessler https://padlet.com/lfross/9cqv269bfsdn/wish/314411605 The American dream is why people come to live in America, or why they do live in America. It has changed a lot over time, and it will probably continue to change as time goes on. At first the American dream was being able to spend endless time with your family and being happy.

The American dream was thought to be where people can have a much better and richer lives.

The idea of the American dream is to pursue a better life, where you can accomplish anything you dream with hard work. Over time, this dream has been changed for some people, who believe the American dream is fulfilled by wealth. People think that by working, and buying big houses or cars, they will have the american dream. The idea of the American dream varies in different lives or situations, but some modern "american dreams" are so far off where they started. Is this the new American dream?

Difference between immigrants vs Americans view on the American Dream:
While looking around the room, I observed that the Americans side was more about hard work, and the idea of working hard to accomplish and EARN the American Dream. While the Immigrants side was more about equality. and everyone having an equal shot at achieving the American Dream. I think that maybe this could be because the Americans do not have to worry about the obstacles of coming here from another country. We just know to achieve this, we have to work hard, and do not think of having to travel far maybe even alone. When some Immigrants think of the American Dream or even America they think of equality, and even though there are obstacles in their life, everyone still has a shot. ]]> 2018-12-13 18:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/9cqv269bfsdn/wish/314413762 https://padlet.com/lfross/9cqv269bfsdn/wish/314415914 Over time the American Dream has changed a lot. It's idea of this dream is that life can be better for everyone. So the whole point is to get the best life they can. This the reason immigrants come to the U.S. for a better life. As time passed though this dream started to change, it became more about possessions and money. Still some people see it as the way it first was, this dream may vary from person to person.

The quotes for people born in America and people who aren't have multiple similarities and differences. What they share in common is that, they focus on the idea of the American Dream having to do with being better. The differences show because of how they want it to be better. Overall immigrants seem to want a better life and to not let their past influence who they are. On the other hand, people born in the America mostly see it as being better by being successful and getting improvement. This is probably because immigrants come to America to restart their lives and to change the direction it's going. Yet Americans already have their lives started and are looking for way to improve it.]]> 2018-12-13 18:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/9cqv269bfsdn/wish/314415914 https://padlet.com/lfross/9cqv269bfsdn/wish/314417040 The American dream has changed a lot over time. In 1931 author James Truslow Adams wrote that the American dream was that everyone could have the ability to create the life they want. Then veterans who came back from World War II only wished to settle down, have a home, a car and children. Overall I believe that today the American dream is that everyone can have the ability to make their own life and to be whatever they want to be, and not be judge by the skin, culture or where they have came from. Also to have the right to live, work, to be him/her self and to be free. They should also feel safe wherever they are without feeling in danger. Everyone should feel safe and to be free]]> 2018-12-13 18:59:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/9cqv269bfsdn/wish/314417040 https://padlet.com/lfross/9cqv269bfsdn/wish/314421665 Back then people came to the US for newer opportunities.

It was a dream of a society where people would have the opportunity to obtain whatever success they were capable of if they worked for it. It was an idea that in America you could have freedom and equality. Over time the idea of the American dream changed into meaning having material things or wealth. Owning a home, car and other things became important to people. Today, having technology, cell phones, televisions and video games are just as important for people to have because they are considered necessities today.]]> 2018-12-17 02:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/9cqv269bfsdn/wish/315040237 23etorres_hernandez https://padlet.com/lfross/9cqv269bfsdn/wish/315330255 2018-12-17 19:49:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/9cqv269bfsdn/wish/315330255
