Americans have lived for many years with a goal in mind; to live "The American Dream". I spent a full day asking people around me what the American Dream was all about, and every person had a different answers for the same question; some believed that the American dream was driven by money and nothing else, others believed that it is family what constitutes the dream, and many others thought that it is made of money, family and a dog. I got the answers that I was looking for but going to other people to try and guide me to the right answer for me has created confusion inside my head, to the point where I did not know what the dream was all about for me.
After a while I came to realize that the American Dream is basically an accomplishment or goal that people have set in their life, something that will make them happy. Therefore, if someone is happy and prosperous then they are living “The American Dream”. On the other hand, when someone achieves a goal, they tend to set bigger goals for themselves. Those actions make the “American Dream”, bigger and sometimes unachievable. This conclusion leads me to believe that the American Dream are just words made up to make people stronger and to persuade them to never give up, and it also makes it impossible to achieve.
