The
amazing American dream is one that always seems to be just in reach but yet so
far away from our grasp. The American dream is different throughout our history
and means different things for different generations and different classes even
races. The American dream for people of color and minorities has always been
one of true equality in society. However, true equality can never truly be achieved
because there will always be minorities no matter what is done. This is the
same for class structured with people within society. They maybe are able to
move up and down in classes but us as a society will never have one class and
be equal. Also different generations have different expectations of the American
dream not because one generation is right or wrong but each grew up in
different eras and have not the same values. Older generations wanted the white
picket fence be married and kids and all that goes with it. Today’s society has
an altered vision when it comes to the American dream. The common dream is one
of making a name for yourself and establishing a career first. Then comes a
relationship and maybe kids in the future. I also have a unique individual
taken on the American dream. I want to remain in college and get my doctorate
and become a doctor. I want to eventually find that special someone for me and
get married before I am thirty years of age. Also I want to have all the kids I
will have help create before the age of thirty two. I want to be able to enjoy
and live life to the fullest and not stress over the little thing and relax. I
want my life to feel like an amazing and exciting adventure not some long
boring full of regret path.
