I’m writing a paper on how people from different places and background define the American Dream differently. So if you could answer these questions I would very much appreciate it, and please answer honestly. Thanks.
What is your personal definition of the American Dream?
Age:
Where your from:
Upper class, Middle class, Working class (growing up and now):
Did you grow up in an urban or rural environment:
Where your parents married, separated, divorced, or single parent (which one) growing up:
Anything else that possibly effected you while growing up?
And if you have any suggestions for the paper that would be great, if not, thank you for filling this our it really helps.

Midwest, America. Ohio
Working Class, reserve military member.
Mostly urban. Early years (5-9) spent in country. grew up mostly in south florida.
Parents divorced when I was 13.
Everything effects your mentality or the way you perceive the outside world. oh, and thanks Scotland. Appreciate the love, lol. *rolls eyes* Not one country on this planet is perfect, except the cheerleaders who live in that country think it is. Everywhere, every nation, has its own problems. now, onto the question at hand. the American Dream is a perception that differs from person to person. What one might think of living in a multi-million dollar mansion in California or owning your own beachfront island in the pacific with just a yacht and your loved one(s) with you, another may think its too much up-keep. One may think living in the woods in a log cabin and having a decent, good paying job and coming home every evening to a wife and child is the perfect or american dream. That "dream" is no set goal for everyone. That dream is what makes you happy in your own life and lets you feel comfortable with the ones you care about most.
Put on your rose tinted glasses and pretend your country is perfect and the rest of the world loves you…
Reality its a cesspool and the rest of the world thinks they are a joke!

Hmn… i hear alot about this so called american dream, but it doesn’t look that great to me. From what I gather, the majority of americans are racist, ignorant, and incredibly self important. You always hear people say on tv "I’m an American! I’m proud to be an American!" what exactly does that mean? I think the American Dream was something that your goverment cleverly thought of to make you guys believe that you were living in the most important, greatest place in the world. I’ve been to America, it’s not.
It’s stuff like this – these terms like "American Dream" that will make you all continue to dellude yourselfs. there are other places in the world, people in the world, that hold just as much importance as you do.
