Describe what is meant by the American Dream
What will be an ideal response?
The American Dream is the belief that if people work hard and play by the rules, they
will have a chance to get ahead. Moreover, each generation will be able to have a
higher standard of living than that of its parents. The American Dream is based on the
assumption that people in the United States have equality of opportunity regardless of
their race, creed, color, national origin, gender, or religion. For some middle- and
upper-income people the American Dream typically means that each subsequent
generation will be able to acquire more material possessions and wealth than family
members in the preceding generations. To some people, achieving the American
Dream means having a secure job, owning a home, and getting a good education for
their children. To others, it is the promise that anyone may rise from poverty to wealth
(from "rags to riches") if he or she works hard enough.
