The American Dream Everyone has an idealized version of life that they believe to be true. The common thought is that in order to live a worthwhile life everyone should have wealth, love and true happiness. This however is not what actually happens.

I chose to do this for my project because I love cars and I love seeing how they work and to be able to say I built that car is a great accomplishment. I have learned that no matter what you do with your life but if it’s something you love you will never have to work a day in your life. This project made me realize that I want to do body work
By being independent individuals we don’t have to wait on other peoples support or permission to do certain things. We don’t have to go out of our way to please somebody else because we do as we want. When we are independent our confidence meter starts to rise up, it gives us that extra boost of motivation we desire to achieve new things. I believe that we are the creators of our own life, that we all have the same power to start and finish new goals but only a few have the actual strength and correct mind set to do it. Equality 7-2521 says that “the guiding star is within me” and that it points to just one direction, and that direction is “me”.
Happiness Follows from Virtue Epictetus asserted that while there is no inherent problem in seeking material comfort, the only true good thing is virtue because only virtue can be beneficial in all situations; thus virtue would not ever fail to bring happiness. This conclusion follows from the reasoning of the Stoic philosophical tradition, which states that a virtuous and reasoning person would live "according to nature" and seek true happiness from within. Epictetus said that with virtue, people would be able to efficiently live a good life; the only value in material things, such as money, is that the virtuous could use them to further

But however noticeable the differences between people may be, they are never so great as to deprive them of their rights. No one, no matter how intelligent or capable he or she may be, can claim the right to rule others. Since all men and women share a common human nature, they are all therefore equally entitled to the same natural rights (such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness). Today, many people think that equal rights are not enough and demand equality of results. They view any inequalities, whether in income or educational attainment, as a sign of injustice.
Kennedy says, “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty”(939). Kennedy promises to protect Americans’ rights and help any friend at any price to ensure the survival of liberty. We all know that Americans are fortunate to have unalienable human rights that not all people around the world have, and that what makes America distinctive. Moreover, Kennedy speaks to his fellow citizens of the world and states, “Ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man”(941). He encourages people around the world not to wait for what can America help them on, but what they can do if they cooperate with others as members of this world to protect an essential element, which is freedom, to improve the criteria of life to all people who were deprived from it.
In the novel, Anthem, by Ayn Rand, society is supposed to be a perfect place where everyone lives by a set of rules which are not to be broken, and everyone has accepted the concept of “we” rather than “I”. Everyone has their job chosen for them and everyone is equal. In this novel, the two main characters, Equality 7-2521 and the Golden One fall in love with one another and develop feelings for each other. The love that these two share violates the fundamental beliefs that their society believes in by them developing feelings, ideas, and self sufficiency which is what their society is against. The first reason I feel that their love violates their society’s beliefs is because in this society, everyone has a tight schedule of what to do and when to do it.
Happiness can mean several different things; joy, cheerful, bliss and hopeful. For some people, the definition of happiness seems to be avoiding pain at all costs. The problem with defining happiness seems to be an epidemic disparity with what it means to be happy. There is no one way to define this state of being we are all craving to reach. It is as if it depends on what level of for example Maslow’s hierarchy of self-growth.
The use of the conch as an analogy shows that there is no order without guidance. Ralph proves that without management there is anarchy through his thoughts and actions. It is important to recognize the significance of direction in a society. With this control people can live their lives in a way that benefits everyone and keeps everyone content as a general whole. Without basic rules and regulations any form of society could not strive peacefully.
