Many people came to the United States chasing the
American dream. The American dream had an important role for immigrants because
it meant that they could live better life in new environment. America was the
land of opportunity for them because everyone can be successful if they work
hard. So, many people from other countries came to the America with expectation
and they are the first generation of American dream. They worked hard with the
belief of achieving the American dream. With the first generation’s sacrifice,
their next generation can make a success in their life and we can see the
successful cases of the American dreams. Still these days, the American dream exists. However, the real
meaning of it has been faded. The economic reality of the United States makes
the American dream hard to achieve. Also, corporations and government use just the
symbolism of the American dream to force people into submission.
