Owning a home is emblematic of the “American Dream”. Unfortunately for many Americans, especially Millennials who are entering or have entered the job market, the thought of owning a home still remains a dream.

James Adams defined the American dream by stating that Americans should have a richer and fuller life supplied with opportunities

How did you hear about and become interested in the Chick-fil-A Franchise Opportunity? I learned about the Chick-fil-A Franchise Opportunity through my own personal research. I began to research an opportunity with Chick-fil-A when I purchased my home in Elgin and found myself driving to Austin to enjoy Chick-fil-A with my children every Saturday. Please highlight your accomplishments which you believe are the most important and meaningful (including leadership roles you have performed). In my

A Raisin in the Sun: The American Dream A Raisin in the Sun, written by Lorraine Hansberry, depicts the struggles of an African American family in the 1950s. The Youngers are a poor African American family of five living in a run-down, one-bedroom apartment. Mama, or more formally known as Lena, is the head of the family who lives with her two children. Her son, Walter, is married with a child who both live with them. Her daughter, Beneatha, dreams of pursuing medicine instead of a husband. Soon

The American dream, the once great aspiration for all red white and blue ruffians regardless of background- racial or economical- has always existed with a degree of falsehood- at least for the majority of Americans. In times of great crisis it has been rallied behind, serving the communal need to move forward for something, anything . But despite protecting it, from harsh winters and gunfire, from powers foreign and abroad, this faux hope has done little for even the best citizens of this great

attended International House of Prayer Atlanta (IHOP) located in Lawrenceville, Ga. There are three key components to the IHOP Atlanta Missions Base: 1) Prayer 2) Mission and 3) Community. IHOP Atlanta has a very contemporary worship space. Hence, the devotional prayer room, which in most churches would be considered their sanctuary, is the centerpiece of all that they do.

After reading “The Politics of Race and Public Space: Desegregation, privatization, and the Tax Revolt in Atlanta” by Kevin M. Kruse. I noticed many similarities in deindustrialization, metropolitan fragmentation, and the rights revolution between the piece and what we have discussed in class.

There was metropolitan fragmentation, which

As cities across the country continue to age and show signs of deterioration, planning boards and city councils push for urban renewal projects that, not only updates existing infrastructure and city amenities, but also sets aside land for cleanup and conversion into parks and greenspace. This wave of green investment is just the latest turn that “urban renewal” has taken since its conception during the 1940s by master builders such as Robert Moses. However, the various stages that are reflected

The American dream is the fundamental belief that Americans can create our own fate and that we are in control of our lives. Americans can do whatever we want with our future. “We go to school, get jobs, and work hard, all with the assumption that doing so will allow us to achieve financial security, rise up the economic ladder, and perhaps even achieve great wealth” (They Say/I Say, 539). However, that is not the case. Americans can’t go through the motions of the “norms” and expect to be financially
