American Dream
Nguyen Canh Duc
What are the first things that come to our mind when we talk about America? It is such a fascinating question, that at first glance many will think they are able to easily answer it, when ,in fact, it is not the way the process goes. Despite the fact this question is definitely a hard question to give a brief response to, there are several ideas, which we can obviously point out. We all know that not only has the USA been considered as one of the most ideal countries to live and start new a life at, but also as a country which makes the impossible possible. Yes, it is the “American dream” I am talking about. No doubt, it has led a certain number of people to incomparable success, though nobody takes closely to their heart how that success was achieved. The majority of people is too blind to recognize the price the “American dream’s” attainers had to pay and no one can blame them for those thoughts. Nevertheless, the “American dream” idolizes all greatest qualities of a properly moral man:honesty,trust,tolerance,equality,faith,liberty,brotherhood,duty,freedom,compassion,integrity,bravery and ,surprisingly, power.
Well the definition of the "American dream" would vary from person to person. So, in my opinion, it is basically built on "freedom". With this "freedom" come many political, social, religious and economic rights that are not always available in other countries. To some people, the “American dream” may primarily be a religious freedom, where they can believe in anything they want. To others, it may be a social and economic freedom where it is always a capability for them to become successful, as long as they have the potential and will power to succeed. Ultimately, the “American dream” cannot be wholly classified as a single, specific social aspiration, as many would conclude. In my mind, the "American dream" means that I have attained some sort of personal success relating to a goal or goals I have set. Society
