The American Dream What is the American Dream, and who are the people most likely to pursue it? The American Dream represents the goal specific to an individual. One person might consider a home that’s payed off their version of the American Dream, and another person might see it as the ability to run his own business. There is no universal version of the American Dream, because any two people hold a different meaning. What it does represent however is the opportunity for people to work for their individual desires in a capitalist society. In the fifties, the American Dream was the ability to own a home, live in safety and in a community of similar people. The mass move from the cities to the suburbs was one choice that became the American idea of the good life. Our fore fathers fought so the generations beneath them would be able given a chance to make their dreams realities. They fought for the American Dream - freedom. They fought for the American Dream, equality. They wanted to allow us the American Dream - "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Just having the desire and the drive to carry out ones dream is the American they fulfilled them. Without the American Dream none of these people would have been successful. The American Dream is everything that creates happiness in this nation. The American Dream is truly great. It set our great nation apart from there. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you came from, all you need is a dream. Humble families have almost every thing that the Hollywood families have, but it is not enough because our society today is greedy. We all want more, more, and more. We aren't satisfied with our health, money and family. To live the American dream, you have to believe that you can make it on your own and allow hard work ethic and morality to take its role in out life. We don't understand that other places in the United States are far less superior to us, and we don't understand how lucky we are to be living this...
