It may be materialistic, spiritual, or to have beatitude. For me, I think it's to have a good balance of success and happiness.]]> 2018-03-06 20:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238873593 10024543 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238873647 I see The American Dream as this idea of working hard to achieve happiness. I don't think this can be achieved because most people cannot be happy unless they feel better or on top of others, and that requires even more working.]]> 2018-03-06 20:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238873647 10024242 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238873685 The American entails success. Success can defined as money or happiness or social status. My American dream is working hard enough to have enough money to where I would not have to worry about it. Working hard and pursuing my career would allow me to accomplish my dream.  This will never change.]]> 2018-03-06 20:12:59 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238873685 10029991 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238873714 What I envisioned as the American Dream, is you average family that lives in a nice house, with a white Pickett fence]]> 2018-03-06 20:13:02 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238873714 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238873762 The "American Dream" to me means you are successful in achieving whatever you aim to achieve. No one person can compare or look down upon someone else's dream because they are meant to be equal by perspective, not unequal by judgement. In the past, people worked harder for what they were trying to achieve. Now, the goals of the people are more aimed towards materialistic things and are less attainable because people tend to work less for what they want. They are dependent on outside sources to help them achieve their "American Dreams". ]]> 2018-03-06 20:13:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238873762 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238873805 I believe that the American Dream is when an individual has the ability to work hard and can choose to be whatever that individual wants to be or whatever that individual loves to do. This individual then has the ability to work to the point to where all the materialistic things that they could ever dream of having is now theres.]]> 2018-03-06 20:13:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238873805 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238873816 I believe the American Dream is a where people can achieve prosperity and happiness. This is a country of oppurtunity where people can devote their attention to what they want to achieve. An example of this would be if someone wants to help people with injuries, they can be a doctor and have the access to being a doctor. I think it has changed over time because I feel like the dream in the past centered more on money and luxury, but now people are using the oppurtunity to do what they believe in. ]]> 2018-03-06 20:13:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238873816 00057168 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238873970 When I think of the concept of The American Dream I think of those wanting to come to a place where freedom and opportunities are. In the past people wanted the ideal living place with vast land and animals. People wanted to go to American and build a family. They wanted to make money and improve their way of life, they wanted more opportunities. Today people want to build a family. they want more opportunities and jobs in order to make money. They want freedom and the ability to create a better life. ]]> 2018-03-06 20:13:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238873970 10026671 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238873975 When I think of the "American Dream" I think of being able to live without worries or strife. The dream contains success and being able to live comfortably and everyone can live that way, while we will not be the same physically we will be equal in treatment and respect that is given.]]> 2018-03-06 20:13:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238873975 10023178 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874026 The American dream is being able to obtain many opportunities in order to be successful. In the past living the American dream meant getting married and having families, having a car, and having a decent job. Now living the American dream is getting an education but now people want to go to college, be financially set for you and your children, owning businesses and having luxury material possessions. I think it is achievable if people in America helped each other.]]> 2018-03-06 20:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874026 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874116 I see the American Dream as a concept where you can live your life happily and simply. You have the ability to do as you wish without harming others. Anyone can achieve it. It has somewhat changed over time as now people choose to harm others in order to get what they want.]]> 2018-03-06 20:13:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874116 10030751 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874176 The american dream is all about making a name for yourself. Whether it be by having a lot of money, possessions, or fame. The American people work as hard and as long as they need to accomplish their goals. It has changed over time as people care more about material things like money and possessions rather than in the past it was about furthering your family and your legacy]]> 2018-03-06 20:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874176 00011286 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874183 I think that the American Dream is the perception that America is free for all and that everybody is equal. It's the thought that everybody can be successful. I believe that this can be achievable and I would like to live in a country like this, but I believe that America is not like this. For centuries, nobody has been treated equally. Many people have racist, Islamophobic, ableist, homophobic, etc. views. For a country known as the "Free World," not everybody has the same opportunities.]]> 2018-03-06 20:13:42 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874183 00029685 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874209 The American is seen as a way of being successful in the "land of the free" and an opportunity for people to make a name for themselves. The American dream has changed from a more principle viewing of reaching goals and currently, materialistic values are what define the American dream. I think that in the past these goals were seen as achievable however the economy has changed and peoples views on what success is have changed. This only achievable for people with solid goals.]]> 2018-03-06 20:13:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874209 a_coffer https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874368 The American dream is a sort of utopia that everyone wants to be in where they can have full opportunity. Where everyone is rich, happy and where they live a happy life. Everyone will be successful and their life long goals will have become accomplished.]]> 2018-03-06 20:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874368 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874439 What is the American? The American Dream is were  parents want and have to be able to provide for their kids, while the kids have to compete with today's world. In my opinion, not everyone has the same opprutunity as other people, based off of soical status, wealth, religion, or background.People wouldn't be able to achieve these goals because of the constant competion and who has to be better than the other. If you don't compete, then you won't be able to survive this rigorous world. ]]> 2018-03-06 20:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874439 00019712 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874442 I believe that the American Dream is a life where your life to the highest potential. Where people are free to do what they want with being looked down upon. Where people can do what they love . Where no one has financial problems and live life to the fullest.]]> 2018-03-06 20:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874442 00011033 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874492 The American Dream is working to be the best and the most successful and to pass everyone else and outdo everyone else in general life and wealth. The dream is something that everyone has in common and is interpreted as being the best. Once someone has achieved a high status and is successful in life they have achieved the American dream. ]]> 2018-03-06 20:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874492 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238874647 The American Dream is to become successful in your field of choice. It allows you to make your own path and have a legacy to leave your children. The American Dream is the opportunity to better your future and assist to your greatness.

It is having a successful family, and well-behaved children. Money would not be a concern, and people would love each other no matter what. Everybody will achieve their goals. ]]> 2018-03-06 20:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238875215 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238875408 The American Dream is to love your job and make good money to be financially stable and to not stress about if you will be able to pay the next bill. To have pure joy in your life from many things but to not focus on money and not to thrive from things you buy and to enjoy the people and stuff you have. ]]> 2018-03-06 20:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238875408 00015521 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238875554 Opportunity, Success, and Reward.

It is that people want to be able to achieve true happiness without being limited by trivial things such as race, gender, sexuality, etc.. Happiness has been a dream that many Americans have wanted since the beginning of the country, but has changed in some ways. Some things that were once seen as unacceptable are now seen as acceptable, and we are all working towards a more accepting society. This dream should be achieved easily, but there are still laws and people that prevent this from happening.]]> 2018-03-06 20:18:06 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238877006 https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238877562 The things that come to mind when I think of "The American Dream" are wealth and happiness. This means that you can come from any family of any race and and be successful and thrive to create the best opportunity for their family.]]> 2018-03-06 20:19:10 UTC https://padlet.com/nglenn/dzg3lnnv6xlz/wish/238877562
