The American Dream

What does the American Dream mean?

America is a country founded of immigrants, these immigrants came to the United States for many different reasons. Some came seeking freedom from oppression, others in hopes of improving their lives. Either way the American Dream attracted people to the United States, shaping the way our country is run. The allure of the American Dream derives from the intrinsic ethos put off by the United States, a promise of success and betterment of life, through better jobs and freedom from oppression, the very things this country was founded on.The hope of a better life, wether that be through better work, freedom from oppression, or simply a change in the life you were previously living. Either way the attraction to America stems from the American Dream, a promise of succes, prosperity, and a better life.
