American dream
The standard American dream back then was a middle class house with a beautiful garden and a white picket fence. Having a successful business and family. Behind all of that is the feeling of being settled and that everyone has equal opportunity. Now its not the same. The American dream for most people is just a dream, there are a few lucky ones out there that turn their life around and have a great life. A lot of American people and the people that come in for other countries barely have enough to get by everyday. I don't think there is any real equal opportunities for anyone in the world.
My views have not changed since a few months ago. A lot of people struggle to have the american dream in this country but the ones who do have it take it for granted. They sit in their heated houses with all of their electronics all cozy. Having a stable job with stable hours. Meanwhile a lot of parents have two jobs and unstable hours but they have something good to strive for while the more lucky ones have a good life but do not even realize it. We have taken the American dream for granted and made it impossible for other to achieve it.
