Once Upon An American Dream: What The American Dream Means To Different People
Once Upon An American Dream: What The American Dream Means To Different People
Symposium of Student Scholars
One of the most prominent ethoses of the United States of America is that of the “American Dream.” While James Truslow Adams was the person to coin the term “American Dream,” the concept dates back to the Declaration of Independence, which states that all men have the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” While the “American Dream” can be thought of as a single concrete goal, Ştiuliuc argues, however, that “it constitutes a cultural narrative with manifold implications in the multiple and distinct immigrant stories that created America” (2011:364).

Georgia College Student Research Events
In my paper, I discuss the means of the deterrence theory, and argue against its original intent and how in my views it is a failed and flawed theory.

I give reasons for the failure and the flaws of the theory, I use one prime example …
