American Dream
To start my essay I’m going to tell you what I want for my American dream and how I plan on getting it. During this essay I will be explaining to you how it will be hard for kids to get there American dream and why we are called generation screwed.
First off there is a lot of things in our generation that aren’t going good and all that’s going to happen with the time passing is get worse with the way things are looking after reading the two articles that we got in class called “Generation Screwed” and “Icrazy” just made me and I think a lot other people that have read this article think a lot more about these problems. Tech is is getting more and more advanced and kids our age cant live with out cell phones and internet. They say “that most people with a smart phone or computer will get online to sites like Facebook, Twitter ect”
Second the way everything is now a days its crazy the way that people have phone, computers, internet, because people almost say that it’s a drug. Don’t get me wrong because I love thing things to and it would be hard to live with out them. They say that “teens send over 3,700 text messages a month and that’s just nuts. Just seeing all these facts makes our generation look terrible and I think this could screw our generation because what if something happened and all this stuff just all broke down half the kids from 12-20 don’t know any other way to communicate through texting or Facebook message witch is not good.
Third I don’t think it’s likely that a lot of kids I know will be able to achieve there American Dream because I didn’t even realize how bad things were getting till I read these articles and they are bad. But the more I think about it I will just work my hardest to get through college and get a good job so I can achieve my American Dream. The way our country is in debt and how bad the unemployment in the United States has gotten to be not a lot of people with any kind of education can even get a job In the article “Generation Screwed” there was people that were interview and they said “they had friends that graduated college and went to grad school and graduated because they could find a job”.
To conclude my essay I think it will be a hard road to make my American Dream. But I think our generation is and should be called the Generation Screwed unless we can all find a way to fix thing cause it seems like things are only getting worse. I hope by the time im older and have kids things will get worked out so my kids don’t have to live in generation screwed. I will succeed with my American Dream but im going to push and delicate my self.
