I’m working on a english multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
1. Summarize ALL readings from this week’s module. Be brief and focused. (Articles attached below)
2. Watch the Ted Talk, The New American Dream (Links to an external site.). Courtney E. Martin makes the claim that “the biggest danger is not failing to achieve the American Dream. The biggest danger is achieving a dream that you don’t actually believe in.” Do you agree with her? Why or why not? Where do we get our concept of the American Dream? Is it ours to change?
3. The texts this week are presenting new ideas about the American Dream that in many ways question our ideological underpinnings as a nation. But most people take their ideological beliefs as more akin to truths than reconstructable frameworks. What long-standing American beliefs get in the way of reconfiguring the American Dream? Use the articles to support your answer.
at least 350 words for the answers to 2 & 3 (combined).
