Obviously the “American Dream” has changed throughout time because society has made advancements and has changed throughout time.  If it had not changed, the American dream would still include the women’s role to consist of being the uneducated, stay at home mom who answers only to her husband’s orders on a daily basis.  Wow, that sounds really fun to me!  Of course the American dream is going to change; however, I believe that the American dream is based on people’s perceptions of the perfect life.  If that means getting plastic surgery and being extremely wealthy and famous, then so be it.  However, my idea of the American dream is not like that.  Who is to say that there is a definition set in stone about what the American dream is?  Today it varies and is dependent on the person’s personal experiences and preferences.  It is not fair to say that the American dream is to live the life of celebrities because people’s ideas of the American dream are not the same.
