How did the American dream change throughout the 20th century?
How the American Dream Has Changed Over
Time
Gale Student Resources in Context, 2016
The beginnings of the idea of the American Dream can be traced to the Founding Fathers, who
declared their independence from England because of their belief in unalienable rights. Those men
believed people inherently possessed the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They
created a country where people could break free from class restrictions and pursue the life they chose
despite the circumstances of their birth. In time, writers dubbed this idea the American Dream, but
people’s definition of the American Dream has changed greatly over time.
Origins
The term American Dream is often traced back to James Truslow Adams, a historian and author. In
1931, as Americans suffered through the Great Depression, Adams wrote a book called The Epic of
America in which he spoke of “a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone,
with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement … regardless of fortuitous circumstances
of birth or position.” In the beginning, the American Dream simply promised a country in which people
had the chance to work their way up through their own labor and ingenuity. Immigrants fled the
entrenched class restrictions of their homelands for the United States in the hope of obtaining land and
gaining religious and other freedoms.
Revolutionaries fled England in search of freedom. This promise of a better life attracted people from
all over the world to the United States. They came to America ready to work hard.
Evolution of the American Dream
Colonial America saw the dream realized in the interaction among classes. People of the time wrote
about the new experience of equality. Employees could speak openly to their employers and believed
that with dedication they could improve their status. During westward expansion, the American Dream
led many to race for land and live rugged lives on the frontier. By nature of their hard work, they could
set down roots on a piece of the expansive land open to homesteaders and pioneers. This idea of the
American Dream was rather competitive and individualistic—people fought others to own a piece of
land for themselves. In the early twentieth century, Americans discovered a shared dream in which
citizens worked together to make life better for the American masses. Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s
(FDR’s) New Deal programs promised safe, healthy futures for every American—a new
understanding of the American Dream.
Many people who encouraged Americans to get involved in World War II did so believing that people
all over the world deserved their chance to realize the American Dream. Participating in the war
allowed Americans to put their national concept of idealism on display for the world. Americans fightingin the war were fighting for the preservation of the American Dream, which was summed up by FDR
as the possession of four essential freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from
want, and freedom from fear. People who could feed their families, keep them safe, worship as they
pleased, and say how they felt were living the American Dream, he said.
After World War II, men returned from the war with a new American Dream in mind. Americans
fantasized about homes filled with happy families who vacationed every summer. Veterans used the
GI Bill to obtain low-interest mortgages on homes, resulting in a building boom and the creation of
suburbs across the United States. The American Dream became closely tied to home ownership, and
the American marketplace filled up with products to help improve life at home.
The American Dream transformed into an ideal that relied on people being able to afford all the
modern accessories: cars, television sets, and college educations for one’s children. Television
greatly helped define the American Dream as the acquisition of material goods. Americans dreamed of
living ideal lives like those portrayed in shows such as Leave It to Beaver and Father Knows Best.
Many Americans fueled their purchase of the new American Dream with credit cards, a choice that
eventually affected the state of the American Dream.
The Modern American Dream
As more people used credit to purchase goods, Americans accrued a lot of debt. Keeping up with the
American Dream was growing into a costly endeavor. People still strived for lives like the ones they
saw on television. Those televised lives were becoming increasingly extravagant and unrealistic,
however. Furthermore, saving was no longer necessary. The American Dream could be purchased on
credit.
.
The American Dream has evolved from a belief in success through hard work to a concept marked by economic and social challenges that have made many question its attainability. It faced scrutiny and was challenged, especially during economic downturns like the Great Depression and the 2008 recession, leading some to regard it as a myth or a 'dream deferred.' The future of this dream remains uncertain, reflecting the changing socio-economic conditions of the United States.
The American Dream has evolved significantly over the 20th century. Initially, it was the belief that through hard work and determination, anyone could find success and upward mobility in the United States. Immigrants, in particular, were drawn to this promise, crafting a society that believed in meritocratic advancement. However, the realities of economic and social change, particularly during periods like the Great Depression and the 2008 recession, have challenged this ideal. Employment struggles and changing societal values, such as increasing rewards for conformity over individuality, made many question whether the American Dream was still attainable.
The population shift from farms to cities and the increasing inclusion of women in the workforce catalyzed significant cultural shifts. Opportunities, or the lack thereof, were redefined, both in terms of what constituted success and who had access to pursue it. The mythologized image of the American Dream faced critical scrutiny, with economic analyses like Gunnar Myrdal's 'An American Dilemma' casting it as a 'dream deferred' for many.
Despite these challenges, America's status as a global superpower has maintained a level of aspirational allure. The ongoing recovery from economic setbacks shows promise, yet the debate remains: in modern America, how attainable is the American Dream? This question presses on, signaling a future in which the American Dream may continue to evolve or even be redefined in accordance with contemporary socio-economic landscapes.

Why do humans need biodiversity? How is it important? List why.
It is like any other organism, humans adapt to the conditions where they live. An Eskimo does very well in the north of Canada. They can live on the diet that nature provides for them 10 months of the year. They likely would not do well on the Hawaiian Islands. The conditions are quite different.
We need diversity because agricultural exports come from a land that that can best grow or feed them. We are a complex species and have discovered that we need all sorts of things to keep us healthy. A mango or avocado is quite different from a loaf of bread yet all three help to keep us in good shape and all three are grown under entirely different circumstances.
We need diversity because of preference or necessity. We live where we work. Drilling for oil in countries which are harsh environmentally is an example of necessity and we have to overcome that adversity. On the other hand, given how we have "civilized" the environment, we can live anywhere and for me a warm place is preferable to a cold one.

Which sentence best summarizes the purpose of the Brooklyn Bridge 60,000 ton achorages?
Brooklyn Bridge is suspension bridge on both sides of the East River from Brooklyn to Manhattan Island, New York City. It is a genius feat of 19th century engineering.
The Brooklyn Bridge was the first bridge that used steel for cable wire, and
during its production explosives were used inside a pneumatic caisson for the first time.Eyebars and cables are completely encased in 60,000
tons of stone anchorages of the Brooklyn Bridge. Each anchorage weighs as much
as 12,000 elephants. Concealed inside were four enormous anchor plates. Its main
purpose was to make the bridge six times stronger.
The Brooklyn Bridge's 60,000-ton anchorages are crucial for supporting and stabilizing the bridge's towers. They act as counterweights, balancing tension in suspension cables. Their primary function is to ensure the bridge's stability and integrity. Here option A is correct.
The purpose of the Brooklyn Bridge's 60,000-ton anchorages is primarily to support and stabilize the bridge's towers. These massive structures serve as counterweights, balancing the tension in the suspension cables that bear the weight of the bridge's roadway and traffic.
The anchorages are strategically located at both ends of the bridge and are constructed with a significant amount of concrete and masonry, allowing them to resist the powerful forces generated by the bridge's loads and environmental factors.
While they play a critical role in ensuring the stability and integrity of the bridge, they are not designed to provide a scenic viewpoint for visitors, house administrative offices, or serve as a foundation for the pedestrian walkway.
Their primary function is to act as a foundation and counterbalance, allowing the Brooklyn Bridge to stand tall and secure over the East River. Here option A is correct.
Complete question:
Which of the following sentences best summarizes the purpose of the Brooklyn Bridge's 60,000-ton anchorages?
A) To support and stabilize the bridge's towers.
B) To provide a scenic viewpoint for visitors.
C) To house administrative offices for bridge maintenance.

The last four sentences of the speech (beginning "Now is the time...") demonstrate which rhetorical device? A) parallelism B) restatement C) rhetorical questions D) point and counterpoint
Answer:
A) parallelism because it repeats
Explanation:
Answer:
The correct answer is option A) "parallelism"
Explanation:
The celebrated speech "I have a dream" by Martin Luther King Jr., uses the rhetorical device of parallelism in most of its structure, which is emphasizing an idea by the use of parts of sentences that are grammatically the same or are similar in construction. This is the case of the last four sentences of the speech at which all of them begin with the line "Now is the time..." as follows "Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children."
why is brently maddens appearance ironic at this point in the story
Answer: It was a great surprise to Louise and the readers when the character Brently Mallard reappeared near the end of the story, since he was thought to be dead throughout most of the story.
Explanation: I believe you had meant Mr. Brently Mallard from Kate Chopin's famous short story, "Story of an Hour." The big surprise outcome that hits his wife Louise Mallard and readers toward the end of the story is that he is still alive. This is because, at the beginning of the story, a false report that he had been killed in a train accident was the assumption for most of the story up until that point where Brently suddenly shows up.
2. How does Darrow use rhetoric to advance his purpose in the excerpt of his closing argument in Illinois v. Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb? Provide two or more examples of rhetoric Darrow uses and the intended effect of the rhetoric. Use evidence from the passage to support your response. Your response should be one or two complete paragraphs.
Answer:
1. His contention is that the two young men ought not be condemned to death and that the "Wild and luxurious stories were uninhibitedly distributed as though they were truth." Should not be utilized against the young men, because of their status of riches. He contends that at no other time has a minor been condemned to death in the territory of Illinois and that the media craze around the case ought not be utilized in their conviction.
2."And I think I am protected in saying, in spite of the fact that I have not analyzed every one of the records and wouldn't, I be able to think I am sheltered in saying that never has there been such a case in the territory of Illinois."
"Why need a judge to be encouraged by each contention, moderate and radical, to hang two young men notwithstanding every point of reference in Illinois and even with the advancement of the last 50—at any rate twenty-five—years?"
He utilizes convincing language to diminish the effect of the body of evidence against the young men, by calling into question the legitimate framework and the mankind of the judge just as the recorded cases in the province of Illinois.
In his closing argument in Illinois v. Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, Clarence Darrow utilizes rhetoric effectively to advance his purpose. He employs emotional appeals to elicit sympathy from the jury and logical reasoning to challenge the prosecution's case. Darrow seeks to humanize the defendants and create doubt about their sole responsibility for the crime.
Clarence Darrow, in his closing argument in Illinois v. Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, uses rhetoric to advance his purpose effectively. One example of rhetoric he employs is the use of emotional appeals to the jury. Darrow appeals to the jury's empathy and compassion by painting a vivid picture of the defendants' troubled childhoods and their underlying psychological issues, which he believes contributed to their crime. By doing so, Darrow aims to elicit sympathy from the jury and compel them to consider factors beyond the crime itself when determining the defendants' fate.
Another example of rhetoric in Darrow's closing argument is his use of logical reasoning. Darrow presents a well-constructed argument, highlighting inconsistencies in the prosecution's case and challenging the notion that the defendants are simply evil and irredeemable. He introduces the concept of determinism, arguing that Leopold and Loeb's action was influenced by a combination of their upbringing and their psychological condition, suggesting that they are not solely responsible for their actions.
Both emotional appeals and logical reasoning are effective rhetorical strategies used by Darrow to advance his purpose in the closing argument. By appealing to the jury's emotions and presenting a logical argument, he aims to humanize the defendants and create doubt about the prosecution's case, ultimately seeking a more lenient sentence for his clients.

Sooner or later every person on this Earth will eventually ask themself “What is the purpose of life?” and to find the answer many intern themselves in a religion to draw closer to God while others seek counsel from men who have sophisticated professions to ask what their point of view on life is. People who seek guidance from either parties usually end up confused, frustrated, overwhelmed, and resented because they eventually start believing that there is no truth to pursue. The magazine “The Purpose of Life” mentions the different opinions people have referring to life such as “working hard to better the conditions of life... live, have children and later die... acquire material possessions, [etc.]” But is this all there is to life? There are major differences between scientific knowledge and belief systems knowledge which can cause a person to get confused and feel a sense of hopelessness due to the corruption among some religious confessions and frustration due to the unrealistic points of views given by professionals.
If we look at the scientific perspective based on Scientists we can see that many of these trained professionals believe in Evolution which is considered a part of scientific knowledge. What many professionals disregard is that it is still a mere theory that is based on the opinions of one man whose actions were the same as the rest of us “imperfect” and whose ideas can be debunked and easily debatable. The magazine “The Purpose of Life” stated: “The American Encyclopedia highlighted the “extraordinary grade of complexity and organization [that is observed] in live organisms” and declared: “A meticulous examination of flower, insects, and mammals indicate that all it’s parts are orderly with a precision almost incredible” If something is so orderly and perfect, how can it then be a product of casualty? Molecular biology is one of the most recent studies in science which specializes in the study of organisms using genes, atoms and molecules. Molecular biologist Michael Denton said about his discoveries: “So much is the complexity of the simplest cell that it is known [for it to be] impossible to accept that such an object was done because of an improbable and [highly unlikely] coincidence” The magazine also even stated that: “The probability that from raw material, life could emerge is so unlikely that the idea must be discarded completely”. If such an idea is so unlikely why do many scientists and professionals believe in Evolution? Firstly, it is a theory that has been high esteemed through the 20th century onto the 21st century. Secondly, it is taught as a fact instead of a theory with no precise and concise evidence through schools and colleges worldwide. Thirdly, the concept itself is taught by professionals which therefore their words have automatic validation and only a small percentage doubt the theory’s liability. Fourthly, Evolution is a theory that is part of people’s popular opinion. The real question remains though, is evolution a liable source of scientific knowledge? The answer is no.
We have to recognize that there are various forms of religions and points of views that are completely different from one another. That is why many people who are in search of God find it so difficult to stay put to just one religion because there are millions of religious confessions that claim to rejoice in Gods favor but in the end fail to provide followers with mental, emotional and spiritual fulfillment. It's to acknowledge though that there are some belief systems that provide good standards, rules and morals that benefit the individual while others promote hate, fear, and intimidation; as in the case of the Catholic Church. Catholic beliefs claim that people who die either go to a heaven or a hell; beliefs such as these are not just illogical but anti-biblical as well. The Bible mentions that “God is Love” and a God whose entire personality is based on love would not make a place of torment for those who are already deceased. A documentary made by the “Watchtower Bible and trac” titled: “Out of the darkness” mentions that: “Christian churches deviated from Gods teachings, the result was the abuse of power and untold suffering... In the centuries after the establishment of the Christian congregation we see how many of those who were taking the lead in the Christian church started to likewise love worldly wisdom. These ideas that came from Plato and other of the Greek philosophers started to infiltrate the so-called Christian thinking... They wanted to mix Christian [religion] with pagan religious ideas and the idea was to make Christianity more acceptable to those [who did pagan worship]”

Read the excerpt from chapter 10 of Animal Farm.
There was, as Squealer was never tired of explaining, endless work in the supervision and organisation of the farm. Much of this work was of a kind that the other animals were too ignorant to understand. For example, Squealer told them that the pigs had to expend enormous labours every day upon mysterious things called "files," "reports," "minutes" and "memoranda." These were large sheets of paper which had to be closely covered with writing, and as soon as they were so covered, they were burnt in the furnace. This was of the highest importance for the welfare of the farm, Squealer said.
Which part of this passage is an example of ridicule?
The pigs create reports and then burn them.
Squealer calls the other animals ignorant.
The pigs work tirelessly to organize the farm.
Squealer tells the animals about the farm’s organization.

~ ʜᴏᴘᴇ ᴛʜɪꜱ ʜᴇʟᴘꜱ! :) ♡

The correct answer is A. The pigs create reports and then burn them.
Explanation:
The word "ridicule" refers to the action of mockery some action, behavior, etc. of a person or group of people usually because these absurd or do not make sense. Additionally, in literature, including the novel "Animal Farm" by George Orwell ridicule is used to create a critique about society or some group on it. In the case of the excerpt presented, the narrator describes one of the characters called Squealer that was a pig was in charge of supervising the farm, but besides this he did actions others did not understand such as writing files, minutes and other documents and then immediately burned them claiming it was for the welfare of the farm.
This detail is especially remarkable as this shows the use of ridicule as the author points out an action that does not make sense or that is absurd to criticize the way some governments and political leader act. Therefore, the part of the passage that is an example of ridicule is "the pigs create reports and then burn them".
