There is no reason for anyone to misjudge or discriminate against someone for what s/he likes to do. Everyone is different, and no one can tell someone no when doing something he loves. Whether it's theatre, science, math, film, or anything in between, from literature to computers, everyone, especially in America, should be and is allowed to do whatever he wants. And anyone who says otherwise is a bully, a liar, or a complete idiot. It's hard to argue with the truth and with the freedom of America. Freedom withstands the test of time, and several political figures, art figures, and other figures in general really tried to (and continuously) try to fight for the power of freedom. Performing on Broadway can be someone's dream, male or female. Inventing a cure for cancer can be someone's dream, male or female. Living the American Dream, male, female, or any other gender or race can be anyone's dream, American or not. If the world worked in this way, there would be a democracy, not criticism, no discrimination, and the world would be entirely free of problems, the freedom of ability to do whatever a person wants, whenever, wherever, however. This American Dream is very worthwhile, and the power of freedom is something we all want to have.

ReplyDeleteThis post came off as a little vague and preachy to me. I like the subject of the American Dream, but the post never went anywhere substantial with it, and seemed a little short-sighted and naive. I kind of understood what you were saying but I think if you went deeper into the idea of freedom and what the American Dream means for a kid today it could really be great.
ReplyDeleteAs it stands, it has a good foundational idea to expand on, but like I mentioned earlier it just comes off as a little naive. When you say "If the world worked in this way, there would be a democracy, not criticism, no discrimination, and free of problems." This part kind of confused me and I wasn't sure if it was serious or not. I understand the importance of freedom and the relative freedom of America compared to other countries, but I want to see you delve deeper into this sentence. It kind of blanketed over the whole issue in a happy-go-lucky kind of way that seemed un-realistic. The stock flower picture was bland and made it seem cheesy and read like a Hallmark card.
I like the concept as a whole, but I want to see you delve deeper into what the American Dream means to YOU, or someone you know personally. I want to know what you have experienced or what you feel in a more specific way, you make a lot of general statements with vague terms like "freedom" and "happiness." What do those words mean to you? What is true freedom or happiness? You say a person should be able to do whatever, whenever, wherever, and however. But people's interests will always conflict with someone else's, someone's freedoms could impose on another's, someone's idea of happiness could mean misery for another. I just want to see these ideas explored a little more in depth and with a little more concrete detail. I like the wallpaper photo, it's dark and has a nice atmosphere. I don't really see that atmosphere mirrored in your actual posts, but I like the picture as a background image.
