“The perennial conviction that those who work hard and play
by the rules will be rewarded with a more comfortable present and a more
comfortable present and a stronger future for their children”(1) In this quote,
it basically sums up what American Dream is about. Unfortunately, nowadays many
young people face difficulties in surpassing their parents’ accomplishments and
building a better future. They are hinder by the current economy and American political
system. Since the cost of living is higher than most people’s income, many
people are struggling to survive in American. Hence, it causes many to sense
that the American Dream that is slowly fading away. Some even disregard America
to be “city upon the hill”. However, is
it really true that the American Dream is fading away?
Everyone has a
different perspective on the American Dream. Some value the happiness that
American Dream rather than the material goods and vice versa. Therefore, even
if they are struggling to cover the cost of living, they can still be happy
about the fact they are with their families. Although the American Dream might
not bring both happiness and wealth to a family, at least, it has bought one to
them. So people should be happy. Do you know how many people in world are
neither happy nor wealthy? Hence, be satisfied with what you have. If you are
not, work hard to make a better change. Don’t blame the American Dream for not
giving what you want.
