I think that my view of the American dream has changed at least a small part since the beginning of our class discussion last week. The American Dream to me is achieving your goals but it is also a dream for the whole nation. MLK's dream was that everyone could live in peace and without segregation no matter what the color of their skin was. I believe that the American Dream can be based on just about anything as long as it results in happiness. That includes happiness for yourself and the nation both. I think that it is wrong to judge others opinions of the American Dream. Just because it may be different than yours doesn't mean it's completely wrong. I feel that since we haven't been taught a true definition of the American Dream, then we should be open to multiple ideas that come along.
