Hi my name is Emma, and as part of my theatre degree my group is performinga piece based on the American Dream, and current attitudes towards it. I have a quote from Stephen Stone, and would really appreciate some current viewpoints of Americans on the idea of the American dream, and some reactions to the Stephen Stone quote. here it is!
"The 'American Dream' is loosely used to mean just about anything from the acquisition of wealth, to home ownership, to moral licence, to success in court against Macdonalds, all without appreciation for the original significance of the dream. A case, can be made in fact that the dream no longer truly exists but has been replaced by a rationing system that we call formal education, overseen, operated and funded by the goverment."
