The idea that a person can prosper in America with hard-work and dedication regardless of social, political, and economic standing. To me, being realistic, it is a half-truth. There are far more variables than just work-ethic that determine a persons level of prosperity.

It's an ideal that people can be successful if they try hard, if they work hard, they can achieve anything. It's like when we tell kids they can be anything when they grow up, but we're obviously lying. As they grow up, they also start to realize they can't be anything. The American Dream is kinda just used as an inspiration to get people to work hard. When people believe they can be successful they're going to try.

"This week the New York Times reported that only 64 percent of the public still believe in the American Dream, which they defined as a faith that "hard work could resort in riches."

So What?
The American Dream is virtually unachievable. The main goal of the American Dream is to create hopeful thinking to get people to work hard. In reality people are going to stay in the social class that they were born in unless they get lucky. The American Dream is only achieved by luck.
