The term was first used by James Truslow Adams in his book The Epic of America which was written in 1931. He states: "The American Dream is "that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position."
I, as an American, believe that the American Dream is the blessing of being an American. I am truly blessed to be an American.

Al Gore, could no longer win the presidential election, so he began international Warming scare that made him a load of money, adequate to pay back all the individuals he borrowed from and then a hefty sum, you do no longer think of his spouse replaced into gonna pay it off did you! i ought to enable you comprehend some great stuff approximately Oprah, yet that female's have been given potential, Al Gores a humorous tale while in comparison along with her, and that i concern for my existence. EDIT: Yeah sorry dude, it wasn’t directed at you in my view. yet I too locate it humorous; I propose they not at all thought that maybe the device doesn’t want exchange. we've been an self sufficient u . s . for decrease than 232 years, however the device we use made us a international superpower interior that little bit of time. I say there’s no clarification for exchange, till you desire to alter it for the worst.

It's about how anyone can come to the U.S. with nothing and make a decent living. It's about getting more than what your parents had and living the life you want. It actually started with the whole American Revolution thing, about being able to basically do what you want without somebody telling you how to do it.. and it became like this mythical thing with westward expansion in the 1850s...
Whether people can just come here and make it big is a completely different story though... people can come and try, but I would say that 99.9% won't be very effective, b/c let's face it... the U.S. is kinda effed up like that...

I'm american and still haven't been able to figure it out. I find that if you were born here, it's harder for you to get anything. (especially after 9/11). I have also been witness to foreigners who have been given money from our govt, education, a house, and work tax free for the first year they are employeed in america. So, when you figure out what the American dream is, please let me know. Perhaps I will have to take citizenship outside of this country and come back in to get the answer. Thank you and GOD bless.

In its purest form, the American Dream is one of freedom, equality, and living to the fulfillment of potential.
Today, many people have perverted it to the capitalist dream of owning a house and two cars, and having a family--as though that's all the potential people carry inside them.

The american dream is to own your very own house. Owning property in the States gives profits as would in any other country. Well people come to the states from all around the world, because in their own countries it would be impossible to own there, here its easier: better jobs, more money, bigger opportunites. Thats what the american dream is.

The American Dream is about: loss of purpose, boredom, and obesity. You got crazy *** people who shoot each other for no reasons, boring jobs, and especially an overwieght epidemic.
