This dream represents that people can become successful in life by their own work. This is shown in Jim Cullen’s “American Dream” Chapter 03 where he states, “...Like other American Dreams, the power of the (dream of upward mobility) lay in a sense of collective ownership: anyone can get ahead…”. In this quote the idea of self-sufficiency is shown, people who works hard enough to achieve a goal to become…

Exploration and discovery has been a part of the human race since the beginning of time. Exploration gives a thrill and new effects on the human race. Arguably, the most famous and most important discovery was the discovery of the Americas. The discovery of the Americas changed the world and the human race forever because this was the turning point from eastern hegemony to western hegemony due to all the resources, workers, and land that Europe had acquired. Most people believe that Christopher…

rewards. Even if minorities work as hard as they can they will never reach the same success as dominant society. Those who benefit from the system lead the charge of blaming people because they like the system the way it is. As citizens of the United States it’s imprinted…

Many people lived in substandard conditions and groups like the Black Americans experienced the continuity of social injustice. The economy was hit hard by this crash and the banks were one of the thousands who had to bear the consequences. The United States were weak and easy to suppress if a successful attempt was made which led to the inevitable…

injustices in everyday society but also in the military. During the commencement of World War I, a large portion of the African-American community saw the war as a chance to demonstrate their patriotism and to take their place as equal citizen in the United States (Williams OL). Over a million African-Americans responded to the draft calls they received and an estimate of 370,000 were inducted into the army to fight during World War I, the war that would make the world safe for democracy…

“‘The only thing you kids are being taught is how to give up” (Alexie 42). Directly stated in the quote, children are being taught it’s okay to give up, and it’s acceptable to be hopeless. The movie McFarland, U.S.A. makes the same point when it states, “Because there ain 't nothing ‘American Dream’ about this place” (McFarland, U.S.A.). This ties into Alexie’s point because both are lacking hope and directly and indirectly discrediting the American Dream as a whole. Continuing the point of the…

Home It was on August 11, 2015 when I arrived at San Francisco International Airport. It was the day where I started my “New Chapter” in my life. I moved to the United States of America from Indonesia for a reason, which is a better education. I had been debating with my parents about it before decided to study abroad to the United States of America. Before, I insisted that I want to get my degrees in a local University in my hometown. In the other hand, my parents believe that there are so…

“Are you registered to vote?” appeared at the very top of my newsfeed on Facebook for about a week until it finally disappeared. “No,” was my answer every time I saw it. Even if I wanted to, I could not be for I am not a citizen of the United States. I wondered, however, how many people my age, who are able to vote, are registered to vote. Then, how many of them actually care to vote. I have since asked several of my friends if they are registered or going to vote, and their answer has been no,…

To what extent is the American Dream a reality, a promise, or an illusion? Readers can infer the answer to this question means through extensive reading of American literature. Through reading “ I, Too” by Langston Hughes, “I Have a Dream”, by Martin Luther, “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck and “The Great Gatsby” by Scott Fitzgerald. All these are examples of what an American Dream could be to anyone. All of these have different meanings and shows how each character had an American Dream of…

is that truly the case? There is a truism that there is no great in war, so how might that be conceivable when the U.S and Russia never truly battled? The Korean War has frequently been called America 's "overlooked war" on the grounds that the United States made no critical regional or political additions amid the war. In spite of the way that a huge number of Americans passed on, the war both started and finished with the Korean Peninsula partitioned at the 38th parallel. In any case, the…
