My Personal Philosophy Of My Philosophy

The American dream is large in the minds of the American public, and indeed, of people around the world. It has taken on somewhat of a life of its own, and its clear, powerful call has brought people from around the world to the shores of the United States for more than a century, each of them hoping to capture a little bit of the American dream for themselves. While some have (there are famous immigrants in history who have come to America with nothing and created ridiculously successful financial empires that even continue today), most have found that the proverbial American dream is far more myth than reality (Bambara

American culture has been described as a “melting pot”. This means that everyone has incorporated their specific opinionated types of cultures and mixed it all into America. American culture was a slower-paced, slower communicating, and a better relationship filled culture. American culture has evolved into a faster communicating, better educated, and fast-paced culture. American culture is going to evolve into where we will barely talk in person and it will be less natural to talk face-to-face because of the many technological advances. As the future progresses, the “American Dream” begins to fade. In the “American Dream” it is stated that there should be “prosperity and success, as well as an upward social mobility for the family and

The American Dream has many variables in individuals from different backgrounds, depending on what they feel should be achieved. Many of us consider the American Dream evolves around us by what we’re advised to believe. However, the belief of beginning with nothing and ending with the hope of becoming someone has persuaded many people from around the world regardless of their background to migrate to America. Not to mention the obstacles that come along with their journey has assured us to be more conscious of the path we prefer to walk upon. Whether it’s short or long, is optional, since there are limited opportunities, with the growing population. The knowledge and understanding of the diversity around us should be noticed, and always taken

Over time, Americans have proved that the American dream is resilient and a very unique concept. It is not defined or rooted in religion, lineage, or even history. It is shaped and defined by the collective values of Americans themselves. The values consists of being individual, preserving life and

The American Dream has become a motive for success for both Americans and immigrants. The dream is what draws foreigners to

Following receiving my M.B.A. as I began to age I began to notice that it takes me a lot more work to maintain a slender build than it had in the past. I also noticed that the portion sizes at traditional restaurants that I frequent began to get larger in spite of the fact that I was not burning the calories off any faster, actually slower. After this self-reflection, I went on a family trip and I have a cousin who has a 12-year-old daughter that is extremely overweight, be definition she would be obese. I noticed that the mother did not contain he child’s eating at all. The child ate whatever she wanted in the amount that she wanted. I then heard the mother state that she, “Hopes that she can lose weight,” but my thought was that you’re not do anything to help this cause. This led me to want to go into the field of dietetics as the nutritional care needs of people of all ages captivate me and because of the lack of knowledge and incorrect knowledge found on the internet, I want to be a person entrusted with the nutritional care needs, both clinical and non-clinical, of all the patients and guests in a facility.

Regardless of your “American dream” it seems as though the “American Dream” fuels the courage and desires of all Americans. Perhaps it is the dream of that iconic white picket fence with an exotic sports car parked outside a luxurious home, waiting to whisk you to your six-figure salary job. The desire for this dream is what upholds these values within America. I feel as though the desire for a quality life, individualism, has privacy, material comfort, equal opportunities, and overall success is what makes a person American. The simple desire for a better life is what makes anyone an American, aside from your address. I feel as though this realization makes me a more open person, a more accepting person. I feel as though I am more able to accept and welcome those that come from cultures that I am unfamiliar with. Cultures that might even seem strange to

While acknowledging the perspective of those who believe that the American Dream is still alive and well. Many believe that the American Dream is present in our country, that America provides the tools, equal opportunity for everyone, and also that those who work hard will always achieve the dream. I believes these reasons to be flawed; many do not consider the racial discrimination, unfair income rates, and the evolution of workplaces which are known for preventing individuals from achieving the American Dream.

Sometimes I question if culture changes who you are. I try to pull up memories of the decisions I make, are they affected by my culture? Here is the response I came up with: Culture sporadically informs how an individual sees the world because, even being from completely different places and raised in contrasting households, people could still have similar views based on what they think of others and not how you are constructed with your culture, however, sometimes affects your perspective in certain occasions in circumstances where you wouldn’t face a community the same if you weren’t from the culture you were built in. This idea is supported by the personal essay by Bharati Mukherjee, Two Ways to Belong in America, the essay by Robert Lake, An Indians Father Plea, and also personal experience.

Everyone has heard of “The American Dream”, and everyone wants to be able to experience it someday. Europeans started coming to America close to 500 years ago, and even before that, the Native Americans have been here. The way different cultures live their lives influenced the U.S. in a huge way, which made it the country it is today. Without the different ways of living and all the immigrants coming over, America would not be the same. A few of the main things that influenced this country are the Native Americans, literature and religion.

Think about your American Dream. What made you want this dream to become a reality? What has influenced this dream? Many American Dreams are based off of one of the three different influences; Cultural, Social, and/or Political. After looking at many circumstances, I have come to the conclusion that cultural influences have most impacted the American Dream. Ideas, like freedom, can change your personal American Dream. Dreams as in freedom of Speech, Religion, Enterprise, etc. The freedoms can turn into having Patriotism. Sometimes these dreams that can be pursued in America need Protection. Protection is another popular American Dream, waiting to be reality.

The phrase, the American Dream is a national ethos of the United States and the idea that clutched many immigrants came to US in a deep emotional level. Having left their own countries means they left not only their friends and family, but everything that identifies who they are. However, whether or not they left their countries because of poverty, war, or civil or religious oppression, they believed that in America, they could achieve a better quality of life if they work hard enough. It was their reason and motivation to move. I, as an another immigrant who explored many countries and settled in the US, can understand how they feel about the Dream. However, in the last decades, American attitudes toward this idea has been reframed as the

     I can remember as a child always asking myself the “why” questions of life. What is the purpose of life? Why are we here? What is the purpose of life? Why do certain things happen? And is there really a God? I had always kept these questions to myself and eventually pushed them out of my mind altogether. I was raised in a Christian household and you just were not allowed to ask questions of that nature and doubt the faith. The world is the way it is because God made it that way and that is all there is to it. I was really excited to take this class because it would finally give me the opportunity to exercise my personal thoughts and beliefs. I have come to agree with Socrates that “the unexamined life is not

The learning experience should be that of a collective nature where students are able to indiscriminately relate to the information, re-teach the information and have a balanced incorporation of all the learning centers in society; including the home and the church. The goal of this incorporation is to create a balanced learning environment that facilitates holistic development in the young mind. As professionals entrusted with the shaping of young minds, teachers must facilitate learning and personal, spiritual, ethical and academic development. My philosophy for education is a multi-part philosophy that encapsulates the idea of holistic and inclusive learning. The philosophy caters for the overall shaping and development of the young mind and includes aspects of balanced training, incorporated teachings and it generally focuses on training students to become teachers.
