Beyond The Line

Comparing today with the 1900’s do you believe there is an American dream? What is it? And is it true?

A real definition does not exist the American dream probably has a different meaning to every US citizen. For some it is the dream of freedom and equality, for others it is the dream of a fulfilled life or even the dream of fame and wealth. In general, the American dream can be defined as being the opportunity and freedom for all citizens to achieve their goals and become rich and famous if only they work hard enough. I believe the American dream is very much accomplishable and it’s easy to achieve it today rather than the 1900’s.

Today our society is very different than the 1900’s. We have better transportation, more money, and more jobs. In the 1900’s they had to travel on horses, their dollar amount was worth less than it is now and their jobs were on ranches.

To achieve the American dream today all you have to basically have is knowledge and a goal. In the 1900’s they didn’t have basic knowledge and they had many goals that seem impossible to achieve.

In conclusion today and the 1900’s aren’t similar in any way.
