The ¨American Dream¨ for years has been thought as having the perfect life, with the perfect family, and the perfect picket white fence. Courtney E. Martin explains her outlook on the American Dream today. The dream has evolved into something greater then economic and financial support. Instead of being self invested in your own future it is now about being a happy and social person. She elaborates her thinking with statistics.

This is a quote from Michelle Obama explaining her outlook on the American Dream. She is basically saying that the American Dream is about opportunity and everyone should have the same chance to achieve greatness.

Textual Evidence

¨Mr. Trump and Ben Carson, the secretary of housing and urban development, have suggested it involves owning a beautiful home and a roaring business, but it wasn’t always so. Instead, in the 1930s, it meant freedom, mutual respect and equality of opportunity. It had more to do with morality than material success¨. In this article it stresses many levels of the American Dream. This quote shows another side of the argument of what the American dream is like today.

Statistics

These graphs show what people really think about the American Dream. I personally agree with all these things and the high percentages do not surprise me. One of the big things that people are not focusing as much on are things like nature and social stand points.

In this video someone goes around and asks people what they think the American Dream is. Most people said that it was being able to have the same opportunity as everyone else no matter where you come from. Other people believe the dream as being successful and achieving greatness. Everyone said something about working and being able to work hard enough to achieve your goal, but is the American Dream only about being successful in the job department, or is there more? What happened to the ¨Pursuit of Happiness¨?

I interviewed my mom and got her out look on the Dream. Although it was not very different then much of the things found online, it was still interesting to hear someone talk about it first hand.
