Today's American Dream

In today's world I believe the American dream has drastically changed from

before. It used to be about finding prosperity and having a family but now it's only about

enjoying life's guilty pleasures and slanders. The American dream contains the elements

family, owning your own home, having a car, having a good job, freedom, respect, and

money. I will now rank each element of the American dream to today's everyday life.

Out of the list I would rank money the highest part of the American dream.

Money is first because in our life today the everything revolves around money. We all

know the first rule to fun, anything fun cost at least eight dollars. But seriously to have

success in life you need money and to get money you must have it. it might not make

sense but think about it a little bit.

My number two rank would be respect. Respect is key to glory by today's

standards. People look at you and if they don see items that mean you have high respect,

they either ignore you or look down upon you. Our twisted world works that way.

My number three rank would be having a good job. With a good job respect will

come and so will money. People respect are usually treated higher then people with not as

much respect, but anyone with any common sense could tell you that. If you have a good

job people will look at you and say "wow he must have an awesome job because he looks

awesome!!!"

my number four rank would be having your own home. Owning your own home

is down farther on the list because owning a house doesn't mean much anymore.
