American Dream

The first author defines the "American Dream" as a shared dream in which men and women attain "the fullest stature of which they are capable" without trampling one another. The second author differs his opinion by saying the "American Dream" is the idea of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and attached it to one's ability to move up the ladder. The two authors definition of the idea is different by the first authors definition is more ideal and about equality by that it doesn't involve the strenuous work of trying the attain money and a status like the second author infers. The first author uses history and facts to support their definition and the second uses moral and todays buisness life. I think personally the first author was more trustworthy and knew what he was talking about. He convinced me that equality is more important than money because the American Dream would not be realistic to be based on money and level in the community. I feel the tecnique the first author used with facts and history and research worked best because it got the point across more clearly and was convincing.
