This article shows that the American dream was changed to fit and satisfied the need of our society during that time. It's changed because every generation has their own priorities and they would change it to fit their needs. There is one point in this article is very interesting that how the American dream changed from "freedom from want" to "freedom to want". I agree with that. I know a lot of people who wanna move to America because they wanna get a better life and benefits. As we have known, America's economy keeps going down and lots of people have been laid off. But it is still the richest country in the world.
I think the American dream is still to make life richer and fuller for everyone. The people in my hometown want to move to America so much because they think America can give them what they want, like job opportunities, better benefits or freedom. Over the past few decades, the materialistic dream in us has grown. People think America is a materialistic dream and a dream for a better world with money and opportunity for everybody. For me, I am not sure if the America dream does still exist for a long time or not, but we will see.
