In Chapter 2 of the book, The American Dream: A Cultural History, Lawrence Samuel explores the context of the American dream. He begins by exploring the work started by Adams to help present myriads of several perspectives that helps give more information on how the American dreams and goals should be. One thing that I have found interesting is that the American dream was born during the darkest days of the Great Depression when the country experienced the worst economic crisis. In most cases, it is quite difficult for people to see the good side and be optimistic after going through so many economic challenges but the Americans saw a great opportunity after the economic crisis. We also note that indeed the American dream has also been viewed differently since it was born. Some viewed it as a way of defining financial success of all the Americans. Some viewed it as being successful in any professional field while some viewed it as opening up businesses to succeed. One thing however that stands out from all these perspectives is the aspect of prosperity. America was expected to prosper in every way possible and the citizens were the ones to drive this dream. American citizens were expected to be ambitious and hardworking for this dream to be realized.
