hi
the american dream is attainable youjust have to work hard and then after youve done all you can do you can you let fate take its course.people try to attain their american dream the easy way and tries to find shorcuts and end up on a even longer detour.because nothing in life is easy
The America dream is not imposible its just that americans are lazy. When imigrants come to america they have big dreams but as soon as they get money and they see new things they forget about it. Thats why the American dream is dead.
I think the reason why the average American is so far from achieving the American Dream is because they are to lazy to get up and work for what they want. I dont think the American Dream is a lie. The American Dream is totally attainable, if we take time to pay attention to the issues that the Americans are faceing we can make the American Dream come true.
My American Dream is attainable, with a hard work i can make it come true. My American Dream is very much like those of others.

There is no Average American. There is just an American Dream of what they would look like and act like if one really existed. The problem is that the American Dream is made up. It consists of what people want the world to be like along with the people in it. It's unattaniable because it's to perfect and everybody see's perfect with a diffrent eye so it's impossible for anything to become perfect to everyone.

I think that The Average American is so far from acheving the American Dream because When you first come to America u start out with nothning No,idea no,money no,carrer no American,education no one helps ui out the government dosent help u out everything was made so expensive houses food and alot more ETC and the government makes everything so hard for everyone liike the minum wage is only 7 dollars and etc
~TAMIKAH CHRISTBURG~ In America, life is not fair for us because we want so much in life. We want so much that we don not have. In other countries around the world people would love to have the things that Americans have. They do not have anything compared to Americans. The average American life is what they dream of. Our average life is a American Dream for them. We want so much in life and have so much in life and that is why we can never achieve an American Dream. In my opinion the American Dream is not a lie. Anything can be possible if you just believe. I think that my American Dream is what many Americans want.

The reason way i say the Average American has'nt made there American dream come ture is because life is'nt a box of chocolat. What im trying to say is that life is'nt easy and if you want something in lift you got to make it happen your self im not trying to say that you can't make your dream come true but it does'nt come easy life knocks you down but you need to get back up and keep on fighting.
Tha everage Americans are far from achivieving the American Dream because most of us dont even work, we want everything easy. Mostly everybody smokes and do everything the wrong way. No, the American dream is not a lie because is a dream and everyone has their own dreams.Yes I think the American dream matches the American Dreams of others.

Well i think the american dream is taking so long for the average american because for some people it is a process. Most people can't reach the american dream because they are criminals or have felonies. I think it is a illusion because most people can not reach it by just working, some people feel like they gotta sell drugs or rob banks to reach it. It is not unattainable because movie stars have attained the american dream and as well as
artist.My american dream is to become a computer technician and my does not compare to other people because they want money.Yes my dream is attainable because all i have to do is try my best in college and through out highschool.

The reason why I believe so many people from different countries want to migrate to the United States is because the media creates an outstanding image about the United States that offers so many opportunities of having a better lifestyle and that offers so many things to each and every citizen .Outside of the United States many countryies suffer and poverty could be seen very well.
I believe that the Average American is far from achieving The American Dream because we crave so much for things that we want that we actually forget about the things we need.
The american dream could be a lie but if we stop being so self-centered the American Dream can be attainable.
The American dream is not a lie, it's an illusion.americans know what they want but their just too cheap and laisy to acheive their dream its not even much of a dream its more of a goal that is unfinished and they dont realize that with the right motivation they can acheive success.
We've looked at the Average American. We've looked at the American Dream.
Why is the Average American so far from achieving the American Dream?
i think that the average american is ar from their dreams because after they come to u.s they forget what they came for.,
,What's the real problem here? Is the American Dream a lie?
i dont think that the american dream is a lie, you just have to put your heart to it and you will accomplish what you came to this country for
Is it totally unattainable? Now look at your American Dream. Does it match the American Dream of others? Is your American Dream attainable?
yes i think myt american dream is attainable .My dream is to become a doctor and have money ,a family and a house
The American Dream is far from achieving because there is never peace with anything. The real problem is that Americans have sought to realize the American dream of success, fame and wealth through thrift and hard work. Everyone has a different point of view their American Dream....some peolpe may think its a lie because it will never happen...but most believe. I dont think its impossible to have because its your dream nobody else.

The average American Dream is so far from achieving the American Dream because the Average American Dream is totally different then the American Dream. The American Dream is kind of like perfect. It is what we wish our lives were like or how we would want them to be. The Average American Dream is what our lives are really like and most all people are unhappy with this. The American Dream is happy but most people in todays world or unhappy and unsatisfied with the way their lives have turned out. The American dream can be referred to as being a lie but i think were the ones who can choose whether we want it to become a lie or not. The American Dream is attainable because if people would just work hard at what they want to do in life and become more dedicated to their work and challenge themselves i believe many will go on and live the life of their American Dream. My American dream can match to others' American Dream, but mine will alaways be a little different. My American Dream is not attainable by itself I am the one who will make it become attainable.
I think people today in America can not achieve the American dream because of how society is putting it. They are making it seem like its so difficult to live in this country freely and if you dont have what they have then you cant be excepted. The other reason why we can not have the american dream is because the lack of education and responsiblity in this country. People seem to for get that its important to have an education so you can achieve all the great things in life. They also dont want to act responsibly and tend to go down the wrong path. But to me I really dont know what the American dream is. I think everyone has there own dreams and we want whats best for ourselves and our families> It just comes down to how hard we work and what we are willing to risk!!

Well the average american is far from achieving its goal because they dont have responsibility.Some get lead into bad ideas bad thoughts. Some depend on others, and some just think that if thiers so many opportunitys in this world why stress your self about it.
Well my american dream is very attainable and yes a lot of people want it, and im sure I will achieve it because all you have to do is put your mind to it and dont let anybody fool you.

"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.Its hard to achieve the american dream because some people dont put their mind to achieve them. Also because the average american does not think about what they do and make mistakes. The problem is we mistakes they cant turn back like the most common one teenage pregnacy. Its not unattainable because every one has the potential to make dreams come true. My american dream is very attainable because I know i can make it come true. It matches with the average american dream because i what what all americans whant money ,power ,respect ,peace ,and love. Sthefany Capellan.
The average american does not make their dream come true because they say life is unfair and dificult but thats not true because you create your own destiny. Sthefany capellan
''The american dream'' is a own opionin to yourself, because for some it migth seem a freedom and equailty, for other it can mean a fulfilled life and even the dream of fame an wealth. I think that in gerenal it can defined as you see it a opportunity of freedom to choose your goals.Today the meaning of the american dream stand for the still of viable elements today and the illusion. As rigth now there are poeple like immigrants that what to sucess and achive a goal. There AMERICAN Dream is to be better in life. by Genesis Mendoza
The average American is so far from achievements the American Dream because the're not opened minded and also they are far from the american lifestyle.The Average American has many responsabilities, many things to take care and american's are lazy to get up and work. They don't have a lot of money. The real problem is that they are always in the clouds and they dont put their feet on the grounds. All the money just goes on bills and rent and credit cards debt. The real problem is that they dont want immigrants to have the same rights as the average american. The american dream depends on you to become true. You have to work hard to achieve it it and that if you achieve it. My american dream doesnt match with it. I just want that all people could be treated equal, just like the american average.
The American Dream is far from achieving because there is never peace with anything. The real problem is that Americans have sought to realize the American dream of success, fame and wealth through thrift and hard work.I dont think the American Dream is a lie because its a dream that takes lots of hard work and companionship. Everyone has a different point of view to their American Dream....some people may think its a lie because it will never happen...but most believe in them. I dont think its impossible to have because its your dream nobody else. My American Dream is similar to others....Making things easier for people who cant accomplish nothing at all.

According to our finding the average American is miserable, on welfare and over weighgt. The average American is not happy, now we ask ourselves why the American Dream is so bright and full of life. Americans wanting so much can not manage to recieve what they want, but why?
The American Dream is so different from from the average American probably because of the government and the financial situations that Americans go through everyday. However, being financialy troubled is not the only reason why Americans aren't happy. Drugs, alcohol and sex are huge dilemas also. Racism and segragation is also an issue affecting our world.
I think the American Dream is difficult to accomplish because people are to lazy to get up and work. They think jobs are suppose to come to them instead of getting up early and looking for one.Also because people stay home all the time they have no physical fil.tness so they eat and gain all the wait.Also they have lack of educatin and responsibility.When imigrants come to america they have big dreams but as soon as they get money and they see new things they forget about it.In order for the American Dream to be accomplished you would have to be willing to work and make alot of hard decisions in life.

THE CORRECT ONE!!!!

Tamara---The American Dream is to hard to achieve because people think life is so easy when indeed life is really hard there are lots of things in life that people need to take there time in doing what is needed in life and they end up trying find the easy way out when thats not a good thing because they end up not taking the shortcut they wanted, but a longer way instead.
people become so greedy for money and end up miserable..sometimes people end up with adictions and spend all there money on addictions they might have for example like food there is a large population of people who are over weight and they would spend there money on the food they want..(JUNK FOOD)

The American dream is very attainable but in order to reach that dream you have to work extremly hard and have your priorities in order.The American isnt a lie because like the phrase says it only a dream.The American dream is what people think of and want when they come to America.Like everything else the American dream doesnt come easy and take alot of time and effort before you can reach what you think of as "the American Dream".Many of us have similar ideas that we think of as the American dream but some of us also have higher expectations due to our own confidence in our selves based on what we know we can do and what we can achieve

The american dream sometimes is unfair to other and for other a good luck. The dream of achieving of what u want to see your self at. A american dream is not a lie it is a iiluison. In some people it hard to find what they want it does not come in you as u think.

The American dream is beautiful. It's filled with money, fame, and above all freedom. But no one has been able to have that good night sleep to get to this dream. That's'because they're always working (wether it's for a positive or negative reason) and they're always trying to stop someone else from achieving it and most of the time they don't even notice this. The dream is attainable but there are so many obstacles that it seems impposible. My dream is simple, but getting there will be a challange. I want to change the world in such a big manner that my face will me on shirts & cups, things like buildings and streets will be named after me. Something so great that i will live forever.(Metaphoricly speaking) What that something is i'm still not sure. But i promise you, it will be a awesome.
The American people arent achieving the "American dream" because they are becoming lazy and theyre changing. The people from other countries think that this is the best place in the world. But, its usually a stereotype. Just because people say these things, it doesnt mean its actually going to happen. The American dream isnt a lie; we can achieve it. Its just that some people can achieve it, but most cant. A lot of people in America come and they dont like what they see. So they leave. I think the reason that people always talk about the American dream is because there is a couple of internationally famous people.
My American dream is similar to everybody else's, but it doesnt mean that my dream will become true...
I beleieve the American Dream is just something very hard to recieve if you are not American. I think that the government has a lot to do with this problem because of the lack of importance and interest they put into the subject matter. When people come from other countries come to America beleieving the United States is something so grand and amazing they realize its really not due to lack of jobs offered to those that have been through many hardships like no education. Like one issue is the fact that you have to have papers to enter the country, its not so much the fact that you have to get them its the fact that you have to pay thousand of dollars to receive those papers. Thats one thing I don't understand if your coming to America to make a better life for yurself and your family what makes you think they can gather up 5 thousand American dollars when they can't even feed their families. I think America should help others not take away. When they come here they should be treated equally especially when it comes to jobs. We need to collaborate with them not go against and make it harder for them to survive in the U.S. as they had to in their own country. Like giving healthcare, housing, and good paying jobs to those that need it even if they don't have papers.

The Average American are so far from the American Dream because many reasons. One reason is because life in America is not that easy, money is very hard to get, there alot of debt wiht not enough credit or no credit at all. The real problem is that America is to lazy to do anything.

The American dream is so far from being achieved is because of racism. the real problem is people disliking each other. obeasity is spreading around, America is just full of drama. We need to work together in order for the American dream to come true. I dont think the American dream is a lie because you have so many people's dreams coming true today. It's not totally unattainable because we can tain it we just have to dig deep with in our selves. My American dream matches with many off people prayfully it will come true. jeff
The average American is so far from the American dream. This is because the Average American does not have the dream of being equal and being given all of the same respect. You can't dream of the unknown because it is the unknown. The American dream is just a dream. It is something that some of the Americans hope for.It is just something that we want. So it is a large possibility that it might not come truE. This is why "some people" may agree that the American dream is nothing but a lie. It isn't hard to see why some may feel this way. In fact they may be right because no matter how hard you try to have that American dream something will always go wrong. That is apart of it all. In ordeer for a person to feel at its best they will have to suffer to know what the good feels like. The reality is that the average American does not have an American dream.. Quoted by Catina
AIESHA RAPLEY
The average america is far from achieving the american dream because the average american is lazy and takes life granted. The average american is close minded and never wants to try anything new. The average american doesnt try hard enough to get what they want if what they want is not handed to them then they'll just give up.The average american does not have a american dream because no matter how hard u try the american dream was built to destroy the average american.
