American Dream in American Eyes

Cora 2022-03-24 08:01:05

The American Dream, generation after generation. It's full of passion, sweat, sweetness, and of course filth, tears, and suffering. In order to stay in the world "closest to God", they rushed through the mine-covered border again and again, just to stay and start the first step of their dream.
I don't want to comment on the American dream. There has been too much ridicule and contempt. There is no right or wrong for people to pursue their own dreams. And an American, when he lives the simplest life, is with his family, is protected by the law, and can stay on his own land at will, it is so simple, but he doesn't know that many people's desire for it can let down their dignity, and can Take the risk. Americans see too much in their eyes, but most of them don't care. They don't know that they are shattering or even ravaging other people's dreams.
But the director or the type of Americans he represents try to observe other people's dreams from a different angle, see the bitterness of others, and see their own halo, they say: the United States welcomes everyone as a new citizen.
Is the United States really what they say, and is the American dream really worth the pursuit of the world?

    The laws of the United States often make people feel strange. Everything revolves around people. They can openly praise the sympathy and let go of illegal acts, but they are ruthless to the malicious side of human nature. Of course, our laws are also very strange. You can kill people without paying for your life, as long as your father's name is Li Gang.
