the fundamentals behind the idea, it is easy to see that such an initiative could never be accomplished. Karel Ĉapek discusses the idea of creating robots to do the work in place of humans in his 1921 play entitled R.U.R., an acronym for Rossum’s Universal Robots. Ĉapek’s views regarding the role of work in humanity are told through Alquist, a wise, old man who believes work is a very important defining factor of humanity.

The American Dream is getting closer and closer to a “dream” than reality. But it has changed dramatically. So much that it can hardly be called the American Dream anymore. The promise of being healthy, and also being able to see the best doctors in the world is an important part of our identity as a nation; however, not every American can afford the promise of health care.
