The American Dream by Cindy Hlywa https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629 en-us 2016-11-08 15:10:55 UTC 2026-01-20 02:40:23 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Dartstarget.png Meredith Caldwell https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144524803 DIFFERENCES:
1. everyone has their own land / 2008 recession
2. stay-at-home-mom, working man / men want to be part of the home, women want to have careers
3. living with your wife and kids / living with multiple generations of family

I think the most valuable part of the American Dream is the idea that anyone can succeed. It doesn't matter where you come from or what happened to you, you still have the potential to play an important role. This is the one thing that hasn't changed.]]> 2016-12-20 19:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144524803 Kassandra Bachmann https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144524821 I believe the most valuable tenets of the American Dream is success through happiness. Everyone has potential in life. Woman's rolls have changed and so have men rolls. Men want to be more involved with family and staying at home. Woman want to work and be more involved with working outside of the home.  People today are happier about their jobs because it is more important to do what you love and not do what you are forced to do. And that is the American dream.

Differences
1. Stay at home moms then and now moms want to go work.
2. White fences (means success)
3. Gender rolls are changing.
4. Portable health methods.
5. intergenerational homes are valued.
6. you can choose your job and work doing what you love.
7. People use to go to only their parents when in trouble, now students go to many adults and not only their parents.
8. Wealth is valued in relationships and not only money.]]> 2016-12-20 19:50:47 UTC https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144524821 Kelvin Cheng https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144524867 Differences: 
1. Everyone wanted to own land but it led to an economic recession
2. Parents now want to be both the breadwinner and stay at home parent
3. 9-5 jobs are changed b/c people can work at home now due to technology
4. Portable health so that everyone is taken care of not just b/c of their jobs
5. Happiness isn't the person that has everything, but the person that is involved with their community
6. Everyone is worthy of kindness= Radical Kindness
7. More emotional help, kids can talk to other adults rather than their parents
8. Money has made us dumb to reaching out

Paragraph:
I believe that the most valuable tenet of the American Dream is that everyone is different and that everyone can succeed in their own way. The American Dream is also changing as time goes on, especially with technology. Everyone has there own american dream and it isn't just about making money to show your ancestors that you have done well. People have their own dreams to follow and not the standard, people need to be independent in their careers but it is also better for people to be involved in their community because that is the key to happiness not money.]]> 2016-12-20 19:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144524867 Paul Levy https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144525054 Differences:
1.Generations no longer do better.
2.More community less wealth.
3.Ownership  is no longer happiness.
4. less stable jobs.
5. Based on trust and relationships.

The most important part of the American dream is land ownership and wealth. Though a new concept of this "dream" has some decent points, in the end its all about property and wealth. nothing has changed in this sense and saying otherwise is sugar-coating the truth.  Ways we can achieve this is working hard and taking no shortcuts. The harder one works the better their "dream" can be.]]> 2016-12-20 19:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144525054 Taylor Edghill https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144525537 Today
-Stable jobs are depleting
-more people are losing homes
-income is lower
-American dream has less to do with money
Before
-Men got stable jobs while women worked at home
-The home showed success
-The American Dream was based on success and wealth

My Most Important Opinion
-I disagree with her because moving in with different families seems like a nightmare to me. Not everybody would benefit from living in a tight community. Not everybody is as respectful as she makes these communities seem. To me, this seems more dangerous but my point of view is very based on personal experiences. When people live in communities like this it is too easy for them to trust one another. People aren't good nor are we born to have perfect communities like this. The possibility of a utopian place like this surviving and being successful is low. (I'm gunna stop here before i get to into this)

Also the American dream still revolves around wealth and success. Its still what people look forward to and strive for. Nobody would be excited about being poor but still being happy. Money doesn't buy happiness but it sure does help.

Differences:

1. People today are mostly driven by money and the generations above us do not believe we will do better off than they did. 
2. People today want to be all over the spectrum instead of being the stay at home mom and the bread maker father. 
3. people used to want a simple life instead of today where poeple just want wealth.

-People don't expect their children to do better than them
-People used to want a simple, stable life
-People now want wealth, not just a stable life
-Everyone wants to bring in money for their family, not 1 gets money and 1 stays home

I believe the best part of the American dream is that the accomplishment of the dream allows us to be stable and to rethink the world around us.]]> 2016-12-20 19:59:24 UTC https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144525930 bishop_abbigail18 https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144526747 Differences:
Stable jobs are a thing of the past, people have a hard time keeping jobs, whereas in the past people could hold a job (and wanted to) with no problem. There's also a lower income compared to the past, as well as not buying houses with white picket fences.

I think that the most valuable tenets of the American dream is how versatile life has become. There isn't one goal that everyone strives for, there's goals everyone can have for without facing judgement. People have so many more opportunities nowadays, and so many different stories. You don't need to have a huge house, or make six figures, or have a job that's deemed "more important" like being a doctor or a lawyer.

1) Today, life is more about creativity and innovation than making as much money as possible.
2) Gender roles of a family are changing. Both parents support the family at home and away from it.
3) Jobs are more about doing what you love and not making the maximum amount of money.
4) Jobs have portable health benefits. 
5) Kids and adults re healthier now because they have more people in their life that care for them. 
6) There are other ways to gain success other than money. 
7) The times of work have changed. The old 9-5 shift has changed due to technological advancement. 

I believe the most important aspects of the new american dream are being successful in your own way, being happy, and having different pathways to follow in your life. Everyone strives to be successful in today's american dream and that success can be achieved in other ways other than money. People today are also generally happier about their jobs. They like doing what they do and the new benefits they can receive. Also, life in today's american dream is versatile and people can go their own way to succeed.  ]]> 2016-12-20 20:07:13 UTC https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144526897 Brandon Chrisler https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144526936 Differences: 
1. First time in American history where parents do not think their kids will have a better life than themselves.
2. Home ownership rates are the lowest they have been since 1995.
3. Gender roles of a family are changing.
4. Having a stable career is much more difficult to possess.]]> 2016-12-20 20:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144526936 John Pontillo https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144527279 Differences
1. Going to college is more of a necessity, pay off debt
2. Jobs are more today of doing what you like instead of what you need to do
3. Jobs have more portable health benefits.
4. People plan out their entire future now, instead of going with the flow.

-It used to be one 9-5 worker, one stay at home parent, now its a little of each.
-She says that health care should be linked to a person, not a job,

In my opinion, this may work for some people, but this sounds utterly horrible. Several families living in one house sounds disastrous.

-parents don't think their kids will be better off than they were anymore
-can't really find secure jobs anymore
-about 5 mill people lost their homes in the great recession
-not earning as much money
-businesses and life are non linear anymore

I feel like the old version of the American dream is outdated to our needs and wants. Everyone has their own version of the American dream now, everyone wants to live a different way. I think the most valuable part of the American dream now is the togetherness of families and neighbors and communities. The fact that so many of us look out for one another is really great and really valuable.  ]]> 2016-12-21 18:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144620460 Benjamin Houseman https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144622998 Differences:
-Parents don't think children will become better off then them.
-Job security has dwindled.
-The ideal dream homestead is no more.
-Inflation has increased costs but PCI hasn't matched it.
-The dream has evolved into community > just pure cash money$$.
-Rather than relying on the American Dream/lifestyle to evolve with us, we should aim for a total rehaul to fit the rapid change of our society.

The American Dream has shaped the people of our society down two general pathways. One being the group that let the facade of the superficial life to takeover their idea of the American Dream. The other side of it is the group that has evolved past the solitary like American Dream that emphasized perfection. The so called perfection allowed for a superficial explosion to take precedence over what mattered, that being family and living well. As the speaker told us of her experience in the tight little neighborhood they had in which their small community shared vital responsibilities involving the influence they have on those around them, as well as valuing the privacy and independence sought out by the original American Dream. I hope to one day find an ideal living space such as this in which I can find a stable happiness along with those around me. To work towards being a better influence to those I meet and those I might meet in the future. But the battle needs to begin soon, the battle against social media and their large influence on maintaining and feeding off of a superficial America.]]> 2016-12-21 18:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144622998 Jason Neubauer https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144623097 Differences:
- Kids will not be as well off as their parents were
- Job security is nonexistent
- Per capita income is not increasing
- Decrease in homeownership rates
- People are less focused on money and most are focused on creativity and community
- "the art of living well is mastered by those who are most vulnerable"
- industries are born and die constantly and there is no longer a linear work path
-More people are sharing houses and/or living with family

The most valuable aspects of the American dream are those dealing with interpersonal relationships between individuals and their families, neighbors, and peers. Keeping those strong and not defecting into your own bubble is key to success. I hope as an adult I can learn to take hold of the concept of creating my own dream and following my own success story rather than just following what society (especially the older generations) expects of us as Generation Z.]]> 2016-12-21 18:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144623097 Seth Vossler https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144623758 Differences
-Parents often don't think their kids will be any better of than they were/are
- People switch jobs now every "4.7 years", "freelancers", back then jobs were more permanent
- Jobs used to be dad worked 9-5 while mom is stay at home
- Now both parents need to make money in order to sustain "comfortable" living standards
- 5 million people lost houses in the Great Recession
- Most reliable health is found in relationship

When I think of the American Dream, I think of what the speaker had talked about, with the white picket fence and the picture perfect family and all. The American Dream in the 1920's is not even close to what the American Dream is now, the 1920's American Dream is outdated, everyone nowadays has reformed their wants and "needs" to things that seem necessary in everyday life, (iPhones, laptops, wifi, etc.) but I think that was the speaker was trying to explain that the modern American Dream was, is the value of being able to coincide with others and respectively live among others while of course appreciating a sense of privacy and personal space, but still keeping the strong aspects of a community.]]> 2016-12-21 18:27:37 UTC https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144623758 Francesca Rodolico https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144623881 Differences:

- There is no job security 
- People don't care for money that much anymore. They're more worried about how the communities are. 
- There's less stable jobs.
- Everything is based off trust and relationships. 


I think the American Dream is becoming successful but happy with the way you achieved it. Some people today can throw away money so easily but others only think about their money and how they use it. Everybody wants a good job and to get paid good but nobody wants to work for it because they're unhappy. You should be happy with what you do with your life. It shouldn't be miserable for you. ]]> 2016-12-21 18:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144623881 Brenna Dwyer https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144624677 Differences:
-Good jobs are hard to come across
-Parents think that their kids won't have the same future as them or have the same opportunities as they did
-More americans are defining what better off means
-instead of asking kids what they want to be when they grow up, we should ask them "how they want to be when they grow up."
-In 2020 nearly half of americans will be freelancers 

I think that the american dream means finding a way to be happy, healthy and successful. People today can struggle with this, but I believe that is because it's thought that to be happy and successful you need to have an amazing job or an amazing house and life. ]]> 2016-12-21 18:34:17 UTC https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144624677 Rj Bennink https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144624931 Differences:

My perspective of the American Dream is being successful, having a roof over your head, and having food to eat. The American Dream is supposed to cover your needs not wants.

1. The most valuable tenet of the American Dream is to be overall happy. People should have to work hard to get the success the American Dream promises. Being less perfect is better, getting to happiness the hard way instead of just taking it. Family is the most important part of the American Dream.

2. A way I want to realize this in my adult life is by being able to support a family.

The American dream to me means that you can succeed in different ways. And that as times change so do our perspective on what the American dream actually is. Not everyone will do the same thing to become successful. We all have different ways of getting there and different ways of classifying what successful means.

The american dream has changed since the past, it used to be about graduating high school, and getting any job u can to get a roof over your head. Now its more of going to college, then getting a job u actually enjoy, having a life u enjoy instead of one that is just striving for the basic necessities of life. Everyone has their own view on the American Dream
some people's are to just do whatever they can to get money, even though money does not bring happiness. While others are just as simple as getting a roof over your head, and supplies to feed and cleanse your family. ]]> 2016-12-22 01:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144648579 https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144687902 Joey Burry

-Less stable jobs 
-Can not earn as much money
-Today jobs are what you like, not what you need to do to earn money
-Everybody wants everything- gender roles are changing

The most valuable tenet of the American Dream is just to be happy an live a life you love and to have fun throughout your life. The American Dream has changed drastically, before was you graduated high school you needed to get a job to support yourself no matter if you like the job or not. Today the American Dream is about getting a education in something you enjoy and hopefully getting a job you love. For some people will do whatever they need to do to get money but I believe that is not any fun. I believe that if you live a happy and fun life with a job you like that is the most valuable tenet of the American Dream. ]]> 2016-12-22 14:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/144687902 Sam Valentine https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/145099712 Differences:

Paragraph:
What I consider to be the American Dream is aiming to live the best life you possibly can. This "best life" could mean a variety of different things to different people. One thing that isn't likely to change anytime soon is the demand for money to live a good life. Money doesn't necessarily mean happiness, but it certainly helps achieve it. I hope to apply this in my future by attaining a stable job that will give me money so that I can do what I want with it and live my "best life".]]> 2019-05-27 22:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/363835665 Abigail Westrum https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/364953808 Differences:

~Focused more on the people
~Measurement of worth is less material

I consider the American Dream to be living happily with what you have, and don't hold people's opinions into consideration. The American Dream is doing what you want with your life, not just making money. Community is also an important part of this (even though I'm relatively opposed to it).]]> 2019-05-31 17:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/364953808 Francesca Lattanzi https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/365144852 Differences:

no steady employment (people move jobs every 4.7 years)

not gaining more money (median per capita income has been flat since 2000)

i believe the American Dream to be a way to find yourself and do what you most like to do, to reinvent yourself and have a possibility to have the life you wanted.

For me the American Dream is a drive and a goal setter for your life. The American Dream does not have to be set in stone like many people think likewise it is a changing thing over the years. Community, healthcare and income are all important in a American Dream. American dream can miss lead us and create gaps and ignorance of problems like poverty when policies are necessary for change.

-parents believed their kids wont be better of than then 
-no steady lifelong jobs.
- the dream used to be about money, now its mostly community.


in my opinion I consider the American Dream to be living your live to the fullest and do what you want with your laver, not just aiming to make money.

o   Parents believe that their kids wound not be better off than them
o   People are more likely to live with their relatives
o   American Dream if not about earning tons of money and living in a fancy house

The most valuable tenets of the American Dream are having connections to large numbers of people. I find it hard to look out into a crowd of people and find someone I can relate to or see as someone who isn't arrogant and self-centered, and that's not the America I wish for. I consider my values being held in a stable support system whether it's in the family or outside of family connections, and giving kindness to people without yearning for a sense of payment or restitution. That is the American Dream for me, and I hope it will be of value someday.]]> 2020-09-22 02:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/766614640 Ryan Creech https://padlet.com/chlywa/h9cm4j7lr629/wish/768197879 differences
-better and stable jobs are gone
-home ownership was at its lowest in 1995
-ever changing work conditions
-parents believed their kids wont be better than of then
-American dream isn't about having a big house or a lot of money.

the American dream is not just about being in a big house or a ton of money. it is more about being financially stable and smart with your money and doing what's best for you and your offspring.
