We all have something that we see fit for an american dream. American Identity and the American Dream are one in the same, where anyone can be succesful and the uniqueness makes it truly American.]]> 2018-04-03 17:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/248224126 https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/248224665 2018-04-03 17:28:49 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/248224665 https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/248226807 YESSSS! That's what I'm talking about! Truly, the American dream allows anyone to be successful and American identity is what paves the way! ]]> 2018-04-03 17:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/248226807 https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/248231261 The American and the American identity are both the same yet seen very separate. Identity is something that can be self-perceived but also how others perceive you. The American dream is seen as hope to many individuals coming to America. However many foreigners identify Americans by either being lazy, fat or rich and spoiled. It all depends on where one's perception comes from and the ever changing identity of America. ]]> 2018-04-03 17:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/248231261 https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/248234313 If anyone can be successful then why does poverty exists? ]]> 2018-04-03 17:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/248234313 https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/248692637 The American Dream is a lifestyle that many people all across America, and even in other countries, strive towards achieving. Many families move to America so that they can perhaps come closer to living the American dream. One might even question, due to the sort of legendary status that the American Dream holds, whether or not the American Dream and the American Identity, are one in the same. My answer would be, I think that they are different but that does not mean that the American Dream can't be a factor in the American Identity as a whole.]]> 2018-04-04 21:59:26 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/248692637 https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/248694498 I think this is good]]> 2018-04-04 22:14:20 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/248694498 https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/248694594 I think that we have very different ideas of what the American Identity is, but I still think this is interesting.]]> 2018-04-04 22:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/248694594 https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/248694754 I have issues with the statement that America is the best place for people to thrive. If you are referring to the fact that it's the only place where people can accomplish "The American Dream" I would agree on the level of that the "American Dream" is in the name so you have to succeed in America to have succeeded in the accomplishment of the American Dream. But you can accomplish a good life in other places too. There are places all across the globe where you get a better education and have the chance of having a better, healthier life. ]]> 2018-04-04 22:16:13 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/248694754 https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/251744911 2018-04-13 23:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/251744911 https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/251803303 Although American identity is seen differently through the perspectives of different people, it directly coincides with the American Dream in that with hard work and dedication, one's motivation can lead to their success. ]]> 2018-04-14 15:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/251803303 https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/251803965 I agree that with the American Dream, anyone can be successful. Can anyone be successful?

However, I don't think that the perspective of how American's are seen from other countries directly relates to the American Dream. I agree with how identity is something that can either be seen as how you see yourself or how others see you.]]> 2018-04-14 16:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/251804100 https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/251804311 I really like how you said that American identity can be a factor of the American dream.]]> 2018-04-14 16:06:58 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/251804311 https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/251828748 The American Dream is a phrase that is known all over the world. It is an idea that if you work hard and are dedicated you will be successful and that brings people from all corners of the world to America. However, the American Identity is how people identify as American by shared ideas and beliefs of what it is to be an American. Regardless, if someone was born in America or became a citizen at a later date. The point being, is that the American Dream and the American Identity is obtainable by anyone that has "the dream" in their heart and it does not matter where you were born. ]]> 2018-04-14 22:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/251828748 https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/251830243 I agree that most anyone can become successful if they work hard enough and are dedicated.]]> 2018-04-14 23:15:32 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/251830243 https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/254952103 Answering Conner - Although our country is full of really great opportunities for success, there are certain realities that can make it more difficult for some people to access them. It is a lot harder to get out of poverty if you were born into that situation. It's sort of a circle that has to be broken and that can be really hard. ]]> 2018-04-24 17:37:02 UTC https://padlet.com/seodell/9tjgi1m5xr91/wish/254952103
