https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh How has the American Dream changed over time? en-us 2018-09-24 09:57:00 UTC 2023-06-15 04:23:58 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Balance.png https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314303847   The American Dream has changed over time because some want more for themselves than others, and we have different opportunities that may help us. We won't all have the same goals as one another. Some people might want to reach those goals in a different way than others. Nowadays, people want to have more than what they need. They want bigger and better things for themselves and want higher expectations. This has caused the American Dream to have a bigger meaning and to expand on what it really was. 

 The immigrants and the Americans both have the same message about the American Dream. The Americans say that you need to work hard and you will achieve the American Dream. Also, the immigrants have the same thought. They are saying that people should work hard and they will achieve the American Dream. I think that both sides have the same thought because they both want better lives, and be successful. They want jobs and the money to receive the things they want. No matter the ethnicity or race, everyone works hard and tries to maintain the American Dream.]]> 2018-12-13 15:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314303847 https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314304607 The American Dream has changed over time because, we as people have evolved into wanting bigger things for ourselves. The american dream differs for every american because we all have different goals and standards to meet.


My reply:
To me, an immigrant's American dream, and a natives American Dream are very similar. The common idea, is that America is ideal when trying to fulfill one's dream because of the infinite opportunities. Immigrants and natives both aspire to be successful and provide for themselves. Immigrants are still regular people, with goals and standards that many natives have. Both natives and immigrants share the passion to do well in this country. So therefore, regardless of what ethnic background you are or where you come from, that doesn't change the common to be prosperous in America. ]]> 2018-12-13 15:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314304607 https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314304928 The American Dream changed over time by becoming more materialistic, rather than it being over a better life.

There isn't a difference because they all talk about hard work. They talk about how to attain the American Dream, one would have to work for it. One can't magically live a life where dreams are true. One would have to go through a journey to get there. The American Dream is a goal that they all strive for. A goal is reached through pure work, a journey towards it.]]> 2018-12-13 15:41:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314304928 https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314305880 The American dream has changed because people think that we want to stop immigrants form coming here.

My Reply: 
yes I think there is a difference. We grow up in a country with a million opportunities we can sometimes be blinded by what we really want because we have all the necessities. People in other counties could want a better education and have a chance to better their knowledge. Here, we already have a chance to education so that is no longer our top priority, while it may be for some we have a better time getting it some kids have to walk for 8 hours just to get to school. People who don't grow up with freedom could wish for something that we already have so we don't see a issue  ]]> 2018-12-13 15:43:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314305880 https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314306161 The American Dream has changed over time because at first people wanted opportunities for their families and that they didn't have back where they came from. The things that they were interested in could give them a job that included some parts of their interests. Overtime, people became more and more careless and  lost sight of what the American dream really was. Nowadays, people see the american dream as " having the most expensive and newest things" . People only care about themselves and materialistic objects.

2) I don't think that there is a difference between the examples written on the board. Both are similar in there own ways. In general, both of the summarized quotes talk about achieving dreams. They also talk about having to work hard to get what you want. Some of them also mentioned that the american dream can be achieved no matter your race of gender. People do whatever it takes to get what they've always wanted. So, overall, i do not think that there is a difference between the quotes from immigrants or natives.]]> 2018-12-13 15:43:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314306161 23rschmidt https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314306505 The American Dream has changed over time because we the people all have different perspectives on life and we each have our unique set of goals that make us strive for better lives. We also all have different backgrounds and support grous from which we have all grown and learned from. These support groups matter because they are the people who give us motivation to reach for the american dream. ]]> 2018-12-13 15:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314306505 https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314306755  1.) The American dream has changed overtime because people want more for themselves. There are different opportunities that help each individual, in their own way. People want to have a better life, however everyone has their own goals and things they want to achieve. 
2.) Is there a difference between what immigrants and non immigrants want in life? The examples on the board resemble the same idea. No there is not a difference between the two. Both want to be happy and achieve their dreams. They each understand that to get to the American dream you need to work hard. Also that you need to be determined. The American dream does not discriminate your race or gender. So really there is not a difference between the two. ]]> 2018-12-13 15:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314306755 https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314306797 The American Dream has changed over time because more people are wanting to have more chances of a better life and to do that they work even harder than other people do. Someone from another country may want to know how it feels like to have the American dream, so they come to America and experience that you have to work hard to get the American Dream and probably live a better life than before.]]> 2018-12-13 15:44:20 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314306797 https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314307726 The American dream has changed over time because before people were more focused on their and it bringing them to a better life and wealth. Now a days people are working more just to get wealthy and working more you barely have time to enjoy because the more money things cost , like houses you still have to pay more than you were paying the old house. So it would be better to use your talent to get wealthy so you can enjoy life. People moving from different countries to america to get a better life is different. They want a better life for their family, so they don't have to go through what he or she went through. Yet some people focus on their talent and leaving other things to work on one thing to make it and be sussceful.]]> 2018-12-13 15:45:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314307726 https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314308185 1.)The American dream has changes a lot over time so that people can supply for their families. People work harder everyday so they can get a nicer car big and luxurious house that's the american dream. Everyone wants to be more they want to have more to say that they have this. They can give stuff to their family that they might not have. When they were younger they might have not been to fortunate. When they were older they had a dream the american dream to go from rags to riches.   



2.) Immigrants and Americans born in america have a same perspective on the american dream.  The only way that you can achieve the dream is to work hard.  They both agree that discrimination should not happen and everyone should have a chance. Most of the immigrants quotes talk about equality and how they are different. They want to have better lives for them self and the people the mostly care about. The quotes are mostly similar and they always want what is best for people.

When people reach the American dream they search for more despite what they already have. This is causing the American dream to change because more people are looking for a bigger end goal than just being treated fairly. Now the American dream had changed into something much more useful that will regulate how fair and free people in this country are. Overall, the American Dream has changed into what people want their dream to be.]]> 2018-12-13 15:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314308498 https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314310259 The American dream has changed over the time because people came to america to have a better life and to have happiness. Now in days people have to work harder to have money. They are working for nothing because they can't even be happy with their family because of there jobs. People don't even get to have a chance to buy stuff they want because they have to pay thing like their bills and other stuff. That's how the american dream has changed over time.]]> 2018-12-13 15:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314310259 https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314311914 The American Dream has changed over time because at first the dream was so man and women can get to the highest wealth that there ability's can get them. Nowadays the dream is to have nicer cars and nice big houses. The dream was not all about possessions and money. ]]> 2018-12-13 15:52:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314311914 https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314312265 The American Dream has changed a lot since it was first made into a concept. Originally, James Truslow Adams stated that the American Dream was "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." This basically means that it used to be about a place where everything was better and people were far more successful, which people believed was America. Nowadays people seem to think that the American Dream is having immense wealth and many material things, but many people still believe in the original concept of the American Dream, which is all about being able to have a good life and be able to provide for your loved ones.]]> 2018-12-13 15:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314312265 https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314314901 The american dream has changed over time, because at first the american dream was for men and women to get wealthy, have a better life and have happiness. When James Adams originally created the american dream it was " That dream of a land in which life should be better, richer, and fuller for everyone."

At first, the American Dream was freedom, and equality. But, now the American Dream is about achieving your dreams, and doing what you love while making money. It may have changed because the Americans worked hard for their Independence. But now, Americans work hard to achieve their dreams.

Reply: In quotes by Americans there are mainly about not giving up, or working hard to achieve your goal. However, most of the quotes for the Immigrants are about equality, and appreciating hardships that people had to face. There is definitely a difference between the two. I think this is because most immigrants had to work hard to get into this country legally; but Americans are already here.]]> 2018-12-13 16:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314319388 https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314694032 The American Dream has changed over time. The original American Dream was that each man and woman could get to the top of what their abilities provided, meaning that everyone would have a chance to do their best no matter what their background is. Soon enough the American Dream's meaning would change completely. Today, the foundation of our American Dream would be material wealth. Everyone wants to work for money so that they could buy cars, new houses, and what they think is going to make them look and feel the best. Financial gain has become the main goal of our society.

My reply: 
I do not see much of a difference between an immigrant and someone born in America and their ideas pertaining to what they want in life. Both sides want equal and fair chances to work at their goal. While their ideas of what their American dream may be different, - it all comes down to each person from each side wanting to get their shot at achieving what they think the American Dream is. Maybe one side wants more of material wealth whereas the other may want to become a better person, so they move to this country. People come to America for their own personal reasons but they don't come here and automatically get what they want. They are willingly working so that they can better themselves in the way that they want them to be.]]> 2018-12-14 15:37:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314694032 https://padlet.com/lfross/vn578f563imh/wish/314699047 The American Dream has indeed changed overtime because back then, it was about success for everyone and opportunity. But now, it's about achieving your own dream and getting wealthier and wealthier by working to get nice cars.
