Typical American Dream
In the year 2027 I imagine myself having my life together and being content with my choices. I honestly would explore things outside of Hawaii, I feel like I need to explore my options, travel the world, and just see where life would take me. Eventually, I see myself coming back home because this is where I grew up, and the island and people of Hawaii made me into the person I am today and will be in the future. I also plan on working toward the typical American dream. I'm very uncertain of the type of career I would like to have pursued in life, but I just hope I'm doing something I love. I don't want to be starting and living each day being unhappy and having regret. I'm not planning on having any kids, but if I do I want them to be

    As principal of Dassel-Cokato high school, your influence and work with today’s youth is extremely important and vital. The imprints we leave upon these freshmen are that of something which will carry on throughout their years, surpassing high school. Being a graduate of Dassel-Cokato, this school district is very dear to me and I also understand and am able to see the technology slowly taking over this younger generation’s attention. As much as you are around and working with the youth of your school, I’m sure you understand the importance of trying to stray youth from technology and push them into the direction of nature.…

    American Dream

    The American Dream is something that prevails within us despite the inevitable rises and falls of the economy, it is a triumphant hope for progress and prosperity. Brandon King asserts in his essay “The American Dream: Dead, Alive, or on Hold?” that the American Dream is “more alive and important than ever” (573) but that its survival is dependent on the imperative support of large businesses and financial institutions to attain economic stability (575-579). I certainly agree with King that the Dream is very much alive, but our ideas about its continuity are in opposition. The resilience of the American Dream is not determined by the headway of big business. The Dream is, above all, reliant on the equality and unity of us, the American people.…

    american dream

    The 1920s were new times for Americans. Wealth, leisure, and social events replaced the frugality and hard work that had defined America for decades before. A country built on the backbone of ingenuity and a “work before play” philosophy was transformed into a wasteful, carefree time. Gatsby fulfils the typical embodiment of the 1920s American dream; a man squandering his fortune on lavish parties, expensive clothes, and the best entertainment to ensure his popularity in the social rankings. Although he seemed fulfilled and pleased with his life, his soul was hollow and empty. No amount of money could fill the place where his one true love, Daisy, was meant to be. Many other Americans were like Gatsby in the 1920s, building a façade of happiness with money, lust, and social statuses, only to be shallow and hurt because of lack of morals, loss of true love, and a greed for more wealth. Though not all Americans were like this in the 1920s, we can see examples of these types of characters in the Great Gatsby through Daisy, Tom, and Jordan. Harshly, the 1920s compared to the 1930s can be associated with these characters; at first they are overwhelmed with prosperity, continually seeking the utmost means of wealth, which they believe will buy them love and true happiness. After the shine of success becomes dull, they are left with no morals, fabricated love, and no sense of true belonging. Parallel to the 1930s, victims of this time of greed are sent into a downward spiral of moral poverty.…

    The American Dream was once a belief that where if you worked hard and went to school you can succeed and go into your dream job, get married, by a house and have kids and live life happily ever after. Now a days you can’t get a job that you majored in when you went to college right away you have a better shot of getting a job making pizzas. So what happened to the American Dream? It died just like this country eventually will. Three reasons that the American Dream is dead are: the economy is poor; the government is bad, and the educational opportunities are diminishing.…

    American Dream

    A life of freedom, equality, and opportunity, more commonly known as the American Dream, motivates people every day to achieve personal happiness and material comfort. John Winthrop, Judith Sargent Murray, and Ben Franklin encouraged this lifestyle by writing to the people of the United States explaining in their own way how this utopian lifestyle can be achieved. Winthrop’s “A Model of Christian Charity” was written on board the Arbella on the way to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He inspired the people by saying that if they united in love, they would be blessed by God and have the power to impact the world. Murray’s “On the Equality of Sexes” sparked controversy as it shone a light on how women were treated in society and education. She is one of the first at the time to speak about the intelligence of women and the potential they could have if treated as equals to men. Franklin’s “The Way of Wealth” emphasizes the importance of thrift and warns against living a sloth-like life. The American Dream can be achieved through love, equality, and hard work.…
