The American Dream

The American dream was the ideal goal for Americans since the birth of the country. They see the country as full of possibilities and promises. They see a perfect life in front of them. This ideal was not held by one person or a few Americans, but a dream for the majority. They believed that if they work hard, they could get wherever they want, regardless of their family backgrounds. They also dreamed that America would be a perfect country where everyone is equal and would continuously improve. But how practical is this dream? Its pretty impractical, I’ll have to say. It is impossible that everyone would get into politics or become the richest man in the country. There are only a handful and successful politicians and only one richest man in the country. With so many people dreaming of such a dream, it is evident that this is not plausible. This ideal finally came to an end in the twentieth century. People finally realized that the American dream is too idealistic. In the twentieth century, the modern age emerged. It rebelled against long-held beliefs and created new ones of their own. It not only took a turn in tradition, but also in art and literature.
