The American Dream

Discussion
Feb 20, 2009

 

I would like to ask everyone what they think the American Dream means. What does the American Dream mean to you? The American Dream is a phrase that is known all around the world.  Why do you think we call it the American Dream?

With all the challenges we are facing today like the ecomomy, we need to have more hopes and dreams now more than ever because we need to believe that everything is going to get better and rise above these challenges and dark times. 

Any thoughts at all would be most appreciated.  Thanks for your time.

 To me it means that this country is the land of oppurtunity, people come here for the jobs to make money and support their families. They come so that they can give their children a somewhat better life and education. It is an expression used from time to time showing that if you are willing to work hard enough that you can succeed in life and live just fine. Yes, the economy is bad but this expression has been used for quite some time now and it brought people to think that America is a better place.
