Hello all, I am asking out of obligation of my homework assignment which involves doing a survey about what people think about the American Dream with emphasis on a time period to which a person is born in.
So, what is the "American Dream"? in your opinion.
Also, please state the year that you were born in if you want to.
Thank you.
To me the american dream seems essentially be the idea of starting from nothing and making it to the top, as in you take a loan or preferably work up a saving with which you start a small business in any given field and you work and expand that business until you can afford a house in the suburbs, two cars and can comfortably raise a family while your lucrative business remains profitable.
Did you join just to make us do your homework for you?
Very much a dream, especially these days.
Well yeah, but I was once an anonymous lurker on this forum so I decided to join the community, kill two birds with one stone you know.
Do your own homework lol
In true American fashion I will only answer the question if you pay me a diamond
Sorry for the confusion guys, My assignment is to interview people and ask them a question: "what is the American Dream?". so I can't use my opinion on the assignment. Or do you guys want to make up the opinions?
The American Dream is the first part of Max Payne. It is the longest part in Max Payne, with nine chapters and one prologue; it also covers the longest period of time in the game, from August 1998 up to Winter 2001. The first part of Max Payne
introduces us to many of the important characters in the story as well
as several notable events in Max Payne's life, including the death of his family, the murder of his longtime partner, and when he first met Mona Sax.
"A house across the river, on the Jersey-side.
A beautiful wife and a baby girl. The American Dream come true. But
dreams have a nasty habit of going bad when you're not looking."
―Max Payne[1]
I like your source. *thumbs up*

The American Dream is a myth, or at least it is now. On paper, it is the idea that no matter who you are or where you come from, if you put forth the effort, you can lead a successful life. The reality is that compared to many other countries, social mobility--the measure by which we determine one's ability to move from lower to upper classes--is much higher in other Western countries than it is in the US overall. Even among different regions in the US social mobility can vary wildly, leaving some areas and regions nearly destitute and others moderately prosperous. The American Dream has become nothing more than a tool for the conservative right similar to "welfare queens" or "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" in order to limit social programs that bring that opportunity. For decades, conservatives have worked to undermine the policies that would have allowed their vision of the American Dream to actually exist.
The American Dream is dead and the conservative right killed it.
from what I can tell the american dream is to either be an italian immigrant and become a mafioso, or to be some american guy and eventually become rich and famous for doing nothing and snort bitches and fuck cocaine every single day of your life until you die at 45 and people are like "how could this happen he only snorted cocaine every day"
Make America Great Again
