When this country was first founded the American Dream then was to have freedom and opportunity. The freedom of believing in any religion, speaking any language and the opportunity to be whatever you wanted to be. But since then the thought of the American Dream changed so much that people aren’t sure what they want to strive for anymore.
The American Dream can be understood as many different ideas. Some people it as having the more money than your average person. I think people feed in to this idea because with having a lot of money along with gaining more respect and everybody wants to be respected. But others may see fame and popularity as fulfilling the American Dream. The feeling of having millions of people admiring you and watching your every step must be joyful. Along with having people care for you, more than they care for themselves, you tend to get a certain amount of power and prestige.
