Writing Essay Services - " HelpWriting.Net ". "Is the American Dream Still Alive and Well?" (Debate) The American Dream is the result of possibilities and success. The term "American Dream" was been invented by James Truslow Adams in 1931: "That dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for every man, with opportunity for each according to his ability or achievement." Another reference to the American Dream appears in the Declaration of Independence (1776). The author wrote that people are "endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The question of the debate was: "Is the American Dream Still Alive and Well?" The party arguing that the American Dream is still... Show more content on Helpwriting.net... I am not saying that French people do not want to succeed, but it is in the culture to be less opened with our ambitions. I would say that this is reflected for example in the various speeches I have heard here, especially as an athlete. The speaker would point out how great you are, how you can succeed if you do what it takes. I believe that this mentally shows that a part of the American Dream is still alive, since it will give people hope and courage for their projects. Although not everyone will succeed, it is probably this mentality that is undoubtedly a key for success. Compared to the French culture, I think that people may have this mentality but they hide their ambitions, or at least do not express them as openly as in American culture. As a consequence, the path to success is less emphasized. I believe that this is one of the differences between the USA and other developed countries that may also propose a lot of possibilities to succeed. In my opinion (use "according to" if you are referring to someone else besides yourself, like an author), the presence of this mentality makes the American Dream partly alive. During the time period covered by the Humanities 214 program (4th century to 17th century), the United States did not exist yet. The United States Constitution goes back to 1787. As a consequence, during this time period, the "American Dream" did not exist. During >>> Get more content on Helpwriting.net <<<

America is portrayed as the land of opportunity and the land of freedom and equality however this is misleading due to the fact that one who experiences a lower social status or different race will have to jump through hoops and go through leaps and bounds to even have the slightest chance at reaching their American dream. Although chasing the American dream is why many live, or immigrate to America, the amount of people just settling for an average life is at a high and is only growing. The American dream is not unattainable by any means, but will take a lot of not only hard, but smart work and is much more complex than people realize from the front end. It is a matter of how determined one individual may be and how much they are willing to be outcome focused instead of oriented on the process it takes to get all the way to the dream.

This great idea that we can work hard, land our dream job, get married and start a family. Can the American dream still happen if you're homosexual? Does that even exist?

I didn't like boys the way my friends did and I would always push my thoughts about girls away because it was "wrong". At fourteen I started to come to terms with who I was.

Consumers are afraid to spend money for fear that they won't be earning any more. People who were once financially stable are barely getting by, some even homeless. This recession has been said to be equal to, if not worse than, the Great Depression.

Argumentative Essay Helper - " HelpWriting.Net ". Is The American Dream Still Alive Today? America has long been known as "The Land of the Free", "Home of the Brave", and has established that "All men are created equal."(US Declaration of Independence 1776) Although all of these things are what made America a choice place to live; she has not been without her flaws. One of the major flaws that stands in the path of the American dream today is the inequality of the sexes. Women are treated so unjustly when it comes to economic and social equality, women are not given the same opportunities as their male counterparts; but women should take a stand today to guarantee equality in the future. The question that lingers in the hearts of all Americans is: is the American dream still alive today? Or has it simply become too unobtainable that it has vanished from our eyes? A seemingly simple question to answer, "What is the American dream exactly?" becomes much more complex when we actually think about it. The American dream is completely different for everyone, but a well– known dream is the "Bigger is better" mantra that many Americans tend to want: bigger houses, bigger televisions, bigger cars, bigger handbags, and bigger savings accounts. America has been the land of opportunity, and has stretched her arms out to all who likened to take a trip across a sea or border.

Help In Writing An Essay - " HelpWriting.Net ". The American Dream Is Still Alive Essay The American Dream Nowadays, many Americans wonder if the American Dream is still alive. At one point in our country, people felt that they could achieve success by working hard. However, after the economic hardships and recession of the 21st century, a number of Americans not only lost income, but some also lost their jobs. Although there has been slow progression to improve the economy, there are those who question whether or not the dream of Americans can ever be achieved again. With unemployment levels still high and salaries failing to increase, there certainly is doubt in most of Americans. In his essay, Brandon King formulates ways to redefine and change the way to look at the American dream. After analyzing King's essay, one can see his view as believing that the dream is still very much intact. As he points out, the American economy is a very complex system that has had downfalls, but there is always a way to get back up from it. Regardless of your economic status (poor or middle class), if one has a working job, it is possible to succeed based on how much someone is willing to work to achieve their goals. As King would agree, the American dream is not only still alive and well, but anyone can reach success. At first, Brandon King speaks about what the American dream consists of.
