What Really is the American Dream? 16 United States today, and it seals the dream of the people – individually and collectively. That indomitable element is the spirit of the emancipation proclamation, the fervor of the constitution and the driving force behind the American Creed; simply put, the dream is the active ingredient in America’s founding documents. There is to be no doubt, therefore, that the funding principle of the American nation, especially the emancipation proclamation, has given definition and meaning to the American dream, and that the American way promotes and protects the spirit which drives such dream. It is also true that US Constitution and the other founding documents – especially the Constitutional the Bill of Rights and other Amendments – are living testimony of the Framers’ intent. The dream, in contemporary America, exudes this spirit which is easily experienced and readily shared, but which may not to be arbitrarily framed, especially in the realm of materialism. In other words, the American Dream may not be watered-down to only reflect material gains or overconsumption. The spirit of the American people is the American dream; the American dream is a spiritual understanding of the characteristic of one’s American-ness. One’s American-ness is their dream of fulfillment, success, satisfaction, achievement, contentment, hopes, liberty, aspiration(s), identity, progress, thriving and conquest. Though the Constitutional Bill of Rights guarantees certain civil liberties, rights and freedom, and showers the blessings of liberty on each individual, with all of this comes responsibility; the responsibility to respect other’s rights, liberties, freedoms and blessings of liberty and it is the spirit of the American people or the American dream which sanction’s this. tải về 333.38 Kb.
