Does every Chinese know how to do Kung Fu? Every time I turn on the television and start surfing channels‚ I can find some action movies.

A stereotype is a simplified and standardized conception of a group of people. Yet‚ sometimes the stereotype is not accurate. There are not many Chinese people actually know how to do Kung Fu even though there

Everyone have some dream. Someone have one‚ other more dreams‚ but everyone have some. If you do not have dream it is something similar to not have motivation. You do not have reason why you have to do some things. Always‚ when you do something you have some reason why to do it. Everything in our life has some reason. In my opinion‚ if you want to be successful you need to set the goal and also plan how to reach it. Plan the future‚ what to do‚ when and how. When you have done this it is only at

The American Dream My definition of the American Dream is having personal happiness and comfort while being successful at whatever you want to do. Every American has dreamed of being the house with the white picket fence‚ a peaceful suburban house with a mom‚ dad‚ and kids. Americans often dream of getting a good education‚ then having their dream job. However‚ some people want to achieve these things by instant gratification.

The past iterations of the American dream have stuck to certain tenants‚ including those of upward mobility or of freedom. However‚ Generation Z entertains the successor to the American Dream—the American Objective. A shift in ambitions between preceding generations and Generation Z culminating in a mindset less focused on lofty aspirations‚ and more focused on realistic and achievable ends‚ thus deserving this changing name for a changing outlook.

A Wonderful Dream? It was a beautiful day outside that Sunday morning some summers ago; so warm and inviting. There was a nice breeze blowing which made the leaves dance happily on the trees. Grass waved around in it‚ this way and that‚ like the mane of a galloping stallion. The sky was intoxicatingly hypnotic with a handful of fluffy clouds floating lazily in a pool of blue. The dewdrops were tiny diamonds‚ glistening in the sun‚ on the petals of my roses.

Two writers who come quickly to my mind whenever I hear or see images of American patriotism are John Steinbeck and Hunter S. Thompson.

I choose Steinbeck and Thompson because‚ to me‚ their writing styles are the same. They have the same lust for language
