My American Dream reflects that of 1950s America, a lenient lifestyle with decent work, marriage and children. The american dream has always provided cushion, some sort of financial backing, a life without debt and surrounded by good people. The ability to pursue happiness.
The American Dream is the set of ideals (Democracy, Rights, Liberty, Opportunity, and Equality) in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, and an upward social mobility for the family and children, achieved through hard work in a society with few barriers. In the definition of the American Dream by James Truslow Adams in 1931, "life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement" regardless of social class or circumstances of birth.
The American Dream is rooted directly in the declaration.
The American Dream is having done what you set out to do. You have to make one goal, and complete that goal. Making America better, by building houses, or community service. Raising kids to be wise, and helpful.
My American dream doesn't exist in any specific time but rather a specific place. I dream to one day be living happily in a mountainous cool environment and be able to go day to day without having to worry about anything but my happiness. I dream to see the world and although other times in history may be more peaceful to live in I will have to make do with the time I am loving in. My dream is to be able to live in a beatific place with beautiful people and be able to do what I want when I want to do it.
My American Dream is where there is no war and everyone get's along. Where society is more accepting of everyone instead of something always having to be a certain way. I think apart of it is also when the economy is stable. I think that an ideal is to be able to pursuer whatever you would like without any restrictions. The way society is right now is part of my American dream. I believe it is in the transformation into becoming it.
My American Dream is to come to America and I finally did, as an exchange student! I love to spend one year in American High School like this and also for American people to be kind and make the world peaceful. I'm not Americans and I don't know how to write this much since I wasn't born here but I still love this place and wish that it could be even better!
The American Dream is when you're able to go and try and accomplish anything you put your mind to. I believe, it's when you come to America and try and accomplish your life goals. It's also living in a well and stable environment where you're happy with your life and where things are going with it.
My American dream is to have no racial, religious, or any belief boundaries. Where everyone loves each other for who they are as a human and not for their ideas. Where people can actually say things that don't offended people and start an up roar. My American dream is to just redefine the word "freedom" in America and get it set straight.
My American dream is a world where someone can leave everything they had and start fresh and still be ok. Where people stick up for themselves and justice is true. Where people still have the power and aren't offended by everything. Where we didn't take anything from anybody, we were tough, we were strong. Now everyone is trying to get at each other. That is my American dream.
My ideal American dream is to have education not coast so much to where it'll put you in debt the rest of your life and to actually have time to save up money to travel and live the life we work so hard to try and achieve. Not to spend our lives behind a desk for the rest of our lives to try and live the life we long for. I feel that people who actually want to continue school should get rewarded instead of having financial problems to try and get a good job to care for themselves and their family.
My American Dream is later in life just being happy it's a good job kids and a wife and you don't have a lot of worries I can just be happy go to work early and come back for dinner type day and where you don't have to worry about if China will attack the us and all countries are on good terms and we ha e leaders who do not make stupid decisions my American Dream is not impossible but with the debt we are in and all the fighting going on it will take forever
The American Dream is something that is solidified but the dreams of the Americans is constantly changing. Each and every person has their own idea of what they want their life to look like as things progress and change. My personal American dream is a dream of purpose and influence. I hope to be able to cause a direct change in the lives of a multitude of people with the gifts that I have been given. I hope to live comfortably like everybody else, but I furthermore hope to help others achieve that same living status. A life lived without assisting others is a life wasted. If a large amount of the population was to embrace this dream of helping others, the world would be a much better place. The dream of the average american shouldn't be selfish, but rather selfless.
My American dream consists of happiness and successfulness. I hope some day that I will have a good job and good life outside of my job as well. I hope to have a family of my own so I can build my growth mindset and experience new things. Learning is important to me and I don't want to stop learning and growing. I also want to be happy where I live. Overall my ideal American Dream is I want to have a successful and fulfilling life.
The American dream I see in modern America has been cleaned for me. Once a dirty, abstract idea that I had not come close to touching has been changed for myself. I can now grasp it and form my own American dream. The American dream is only a dream that you can try and achieve in this system that we live under. You can dream of anything you want because a dream is a figment of your imagination. Only a fraction of reality is added in your dream, because most of the time you can't achieve it
My American Dream is a Country where a person who works very hard has the opportunity to be successful in life. This is the American Dream to me because it shows how anyone can be affluent even if there family is very poor or uneducated. Also this shows how you should get what you work for. All and all the American Dream to me is hard work that turns into wealthiness and happiness.
My American Dream is to be doing what I love everyday. I think of it as having a good education and living in a society where everyone gets along. Feeling welcome in my community and not being judged. Equality is something I see in my dream. I would love to to be in place where everything was well between people and working hard at a job would get you to the places you needed financially.
To me, the perfect American Dream is one where everyone helps or even attempts to help each other and tries to make our community and nation a better place over all. Our dream, in my idea, shouldn't be about success, but instead about satisfaction and tranquility. It should be about everybody being content with their life but still have a certain amount of control over the people. Though as I type this out I start realizing that it is more of an utopian idea, than a dream. I realize how selfish and greedy many people of America are. What I have is an ideal that realistically won't be present in our modern world.

My American Dream is to wake up with a positive attitude. When having a job, I want to enjoy it and have a passion for doing what I love. My dream is to not only become successful, but seeing others make right decisions in succeeding as well. As Americans we should be working hard into succeeding. There are so many people out there who work hard and put great effort into where they need to be vs. where they are in life. Then there are also people who cheat their way to success, skipping over the effort into where they are in life vs. where they should be. This has become an issue because it really isn't fair for the people who are working hard.
My American Dream is that I will wake up one day and be able to help all types of people. Also I would love to be able to have my own family and to have a happy career. I would love to be able to wake up and know that I have a good life and that I am happy with the decisions I have made. There is no specific timing for my American Dream but instead it's later in my future when I graduate.
For me the American Dream is to live in a place without hate. I recognize there is evil in the world and we need the evil to balance the good but I fear that sooner or later we are all going to destroy ourselves with the hate we put forth. Towards one another, towards animals, towards trees and the earth. We grow more accustomed to the hate each generation because it becomes more present in every day life. My American Dream is to live in a world that loves. Not only one another but what we are given.
My American Dream, as I would assume, is much like anyone else's. Go to college, graduate, get a good job, get married to a good man, have children, and live in a sort of "happily ever after" situation. On top of that, I want to live in a different/changed society than what we live in now. A society that has it's priorities straight in what we want and care about. I want to live in a place much like we have today, with some minor changes.
My american dream is to have happiness and freedom. My American Dream is to dream big. I want to have the freedom to go where ever I want whenever I want and be financially independent so I can live the life that I want to live. And overall happiness, happiness and being successfully in what I do
It's weird because I have never had an "American Dream". I didn't even learn about this term until I became a freshman and had US History. I've just had a dream. My dream is to join the Peace Corps, it's something I have wanted to do since I was 6, to travel the world and experience it first hand, and then find a nice, calm, beautiful place to live and live happily and content. College is something I want to do of course, but traveling and experiencing things is my main priority.It is a dream I plan on pursuing.
My american dream is to serve my country in the marine corps. I have wanted to join he marine corps since freshman year and I have never once took my eye off my goal. Right now I am in the young marines witch i think will help me prepare for my journey through life. Another goal of mine is to work on cars and trucks for a living. It is very calming and it is just a timeout from life. But I know even if i don't achieve my dreams then I know i will be doing something I like.
My American dream is that everyone will experience a shift in their conscious to where everyone is far to evolved to live in an society that is overrun with judgment, hate, and bombarded with greed.
My American dream is that I'll no longer be held to the capitalistic standards that many consider to be the actual American dream. My American dream is to be able to work at a job just because I enjoy, rather than because I need more objects. At the risk of sounding pretentious, I think it's silly that we weigh our value so heavily on what we own, rather than how we treat one another, or our character. I believe that what previous generations have embraced as the true American dream is toxic to our culture not only as individuals but as a country.
My American Dream is pretty cliché, I'd say. I want to finish a high school and then go to college for the career that I want. I want to get married and raise a family in a home that we love. It sounds ridiculous that I wouldn't want more, but I don't believe that the American Dream should be something crazy and drastic always. I think the American Dream is where you're finally completely happy and content with the life you're living.
My idea of the american dream is simple its a place where people all people have patriotism and dont bash and try to hurt or kill the men and women that protect them every day if its from over seas to on the homeland as a police officer. My idea of the american dream is an awesome place of peace and of everyone doing what is for the good of the people and the government not having its own agenda and trying to not have the good of the people in mind.
