Success is the American Dream we can keep dreaming because most people in most places, including thirty million of ourselves, live wide awake in the terrible reality of poverty.” --Ursula K. LeGuin. kristina_goodnight https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/701547477 2020-08-27 01:10:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/701547477 “And when I speak, I don't speak as a Democrat. Or a Republican. Nor an American. I speak as a victim of America's so-called democracy. You and I have never seen democracy - all we've seen is hypocrisy. We don't see any American dream. We've experienced only the American nightmare.” ― Malcolm X kristina_goodnight https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/701548564 2020-08-27 01:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/701548564 “That dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement."-- James Truslow Adams kristina_goodnight https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/701548762 2020-08-27 01:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/701548762 “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." --The Founding Fathers, The Declaration of Independence kristina_goodnight https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/701548864 2020-08-27 01:11:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/701548864 “To think that a once scrawny boy from Austria could grow up to become Governor of California and stand in Madison Square Garden to speak on behalf of the President of the United States that is an immigrant’s dream. It is the American dream.” --Arnold Schwarzenegger. kristina_goodnight https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/701549025 2020-08-27 01:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/701549025 Roy https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/711824451 I agree with Arnold, This is because the whole concept of the dream is it being accessible for everyone even immigrants.  ]]> 2020-09-01 14:29:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/711824451 I agree with James Truslow Adams. There is a lot of opportunity in america! although the system makes it hard to achieve. -peter https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/711824579 2020-09-01 14:29:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/711824579 Nina https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/711828484 I also agree with Malcolm X because voting for who will be presidnt might be democratic, but once there is a president its all about what he and the advisorswant. You should not let one person or one small group of people decide for over 300 million others. :)

For James, it's based upon the ideology that you can do anything. for Malcolm, it's the persecution of the men and women of color and for Ursula, it's based on that we push each other down to climb up.]]> 2020-09-01 14:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/711830838 https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/711833680 2020-09-01 14:31:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/711833680 A beautiful dream, though the land is build on blood and the dream almost never comes to fruition anymore. - Reaction on James Truslow Adams https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/711838309
Niek]]> 2020-09-01 14:32:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/711838309 I agree with Malcolm X . His answer is more grounded & objective. An answer that everyone would benefit from. https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/711839080 2020-09-01 14:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/711839080 Sarissa https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/711840482 I think Malcolm X was really ahead of his time and saw the American dream for what it really was]]> 2020-09-01 14:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/711840482 I agree with James Truslow Adams, because everyone should have the same rights. But at the same time, I disagree, because this doesn’t really happen. https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/711844214 Dilan]]> 2020-09-01 14:34:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/711844214 Nina 2 https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/711847152 I think that what Arnold said is kind of hypocritical because immigrants are very looked down on unless they are white. I feel like 'the american dream' to immigrants who are POC is basically to not be treated as horribly as they are by racist white people.]]> 2020-09-01 14:35:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_goodnight/dbdbcqdxbqxrb2cw/wish/711847152
