It is whatever people want to accomplish in life and by living in America, it is possible to achieve that. Some people might want to be rich, while others might want to be able to give back to their family. Anyone can reach their dream in America by working hard and not giving up. Living in America gives you freedom and the right to be whatever you want, which is why anyone can accomplish their American Dream while in America. My American Dream is to be free, have a family, and always have food to eat. To conclude, the American Dream is subjective to every person and there isn't one specific dream that everyone has to follow.]]> 2022-05-16 20:55:29 UTC https://padlet.com/571627/America/wish/2186414938 571627 https://padlet.com/571627/America/wish/2186421999 Another part of my American Dream is to have a nice family that I can spend a lot of time with and do fun activities with.]]> 2022-05-16 21:02:41 UTC https://padlet.com/571627/America/wish/2186421999 571627 https://padlet.com/571627/America/wish/2191980143 This video provides evidence on how the American Dream is still alive today. It shows how most people don't determine the American Dream based on wealth and success. Instead, they base it off their own goals and accomplishments, which makes the American Dream still alive today. When the American dream was created, it was a totally different dream than today. Because of this, it makes sense that the dream has changed today, and this supports it still being alive. To conclude, the American Dream is alive, and well, today.]]> 2022-05-19 20:56:02 UTC https://padlet.com/571627/America/wish/2191980143 571627 https://padlet.com/571627/America/wish/2193298543 This song represents my thesis in many ways. It talks about freedom, family, and food, which are all a part of my American Dream. The part of the song I chose is "I thank God for my life, and for the stars and stripes, may freedom forever fly, let it ring, salute the ones who died, the ones that give their lives so we don't have to sacrifice, all the things we love, Like our chicken fried." I chose this part because it talks about my thesis the most. This part of the song represents the American Dream being alive and well too. To conclude, this song represents my American Dream and my thesis very well, which is why I chose this song.]]> 2022-05-20 17:11:46 UTC https://padlet.com/571627/America/wish/2193298543 571627 https://padlet.com/571627/America/wish/2193331122 This Article supports my thesis in a lot of ways. Even in the title, it says the American Dream is alive and well. It talks about what the American dream is to people, and most people said it was about freedom and family. In the article, it states, "When Americans were asked what makes the American dream a reality, they did not select as essential factors becoming wealthy, owning a home or having a successful career. Instead, 85 percent indicated that “to have freedom of choice in how to live” was essential to achieving the American dream. In addition, 83 percent indicated that “a good family life” was essential." This supports my thesis because this is exactly what my American dream is. The article also says, "This pattern — seeing the American dream as more about community and individuality than material success and social mobility — appeared across demographic and political categories. In the case of political party affiliation, for example, 84 percent of Republicans and independents said having freedom was essential to the American dream, as did 88 percent of Dem­ocrats; less than 20 percent of those in either party held that becoming wealthy was essential." This provides even more reasoning about the article supporting my thesis. To conclude, this article represents the American Dream being alive and well in many ways.]]> 2022-05-20 17:38:33 UTC https://padlet.com/571627/America/wish/2193331122 571627 https://padlet.com/571627/America/wish/2193334334 Part of my American Dream is to have freedom and be able to do what I want with my life without someone forcing me to do anything.]]> 2022-05-20 17:41:04 UTC https://padlet.com/571627/America/wish/2193334334 571627 https://padlet.com/571627/America/wish/2193336244 The final part of my American Dream is to always be able to feed myself and my family without having to worry about when our next meal would be.]]> 2022-05-20 17:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/571627/America/wish/2193336244 571627 https://padlet.com/571627/America/wish/2193354040 The person I interviewed about the American Dream is my mom. She supports my thesis on the American Dream being alive and well. She talks about how the dream is having freedom and independence. She also says how being able to provide for her family and being free is her American Dream. Another part of her American Dream was to be a nurse, and she accomplished this by working hard, which shows that the American Dream is still alive and well. She also thinks that everyone can achieve their American Dream by believing in themselves and working hard towards their goals. In conclusion, these are my moms thoughts on the American Dream being alive and well, and on her American Dream.]]> 2022-05-20 17:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/571627/America/wish/2193354040 571627 https://padlet.com/571627/America/wish/2193367371 2022-05-20 18:10:19 UTC https://padlet.com/571627/America/wish/2193367371
