Topic: American Dream? | |
---|---|
Good question. I was raised that the american dream is the picket fence, owning a home, having a happy healthy family. I dont really have an 'american' dream though. I think I am more humanist in most things. My human dream is that people would care for each other and treat each other with kindness, that noone should go without the bare necessities in life, and that everyone have someone who truly loves them and is in their corner. I agree with this VERY much on a family and community level, but am too much of a student of history to belive it can be acheived or accepted on a national level. America used to be one of the best examples of family and community commitment to the downtrodden and misplaced citizens, but we have lost our sense of community somwhere along the way. I am a big supporter of the movement to strengthen community involvement in these problems. ![]() |

I always thought the American dream meant a truly classless society where everyone is equal. No, I'm not living it. hey, that was the Soviet Union :) |
