it still exist today? America‚ the land of the free and the home of the brave‚ a country united in principle‚ a land of promise: is it still here today?

The American Dream In the past the American Dream was simply described as an “attitude of hope” originating from The Declaration of Independence which states that “All men are created equal and that they are endowed with certain unalienable rights among which are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Even today if you ask an individual what their view on American Dream is they might repeat those very words‚ but in Herbert Selby’s opinion it does not mean this at all. In Selby’s view the
