Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
A recent television newscast included a story about a husband and pregnant wife, both murdered in their home. The newsperson said they had been on the verge of realizing the ”American Dream”-a new baby and a new home.
I regret the mindless crime, but I have trouble with the ”American Dream.” The American Dream is fulfillment for each American, and this may or may not include a baby and a home.
The newscast definition of the American Dream is typical of the media`s unthinking and dangerous manipulation of their audience. We as individuals will determine the worth of American values, and we will accordingly plot our destinies.
