Introduction
A
The American Dream- The dream of going “from rags to riches”.
The idea that anyone prepared to work hard enough can go “from dishwasher to millionaire” is still part of the American mindset, and the essence of the American Dream.
The plan of the American dream puts responsibility squarely on each individuals shoulders:
It is up to you if you are successful in life and it is your own fault if you do not make it.
