Introduction of American dream
Origin
American dream,first expressed by Jamesife should be better and richer and fuller for everyone,with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement”regardless of social class or circumstances of birth.(narrow sense) The idea of an American dream is rooted in the second sentence of the United States Declaration of Independence which states that “all men are created equal”and that they are”endowed(赋予）by their Creator with certain inalienable(不可剥夺的) Rights”including “Life,Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. (broad sense)

During World War II, in the foxholes (战壕 ) and gun turrets ( 回转炮塔), the American Dream was a rose-covered cottage
with a white picket fence（篱笆）, a front porch（院子） with a squeaky swing（秋千）, a shady street, bright and obedient children, camping trips, fishing, the corner soda fountain, and seeing your children taking part in school church plays.

The American Dream VS the Chinese Dream
Junyan KongJaala A. ThibaultLinguistic 3C; Section #4February 11, 2014Paper #2; “Economy/Class”-Draft #2The American Dream VS the Chinese DreamForty years ago, when Dr. Martin Luther King was shot, his words “I have a dream,” spread across the world. And nowadays, as generally understood, the American dream means the individual opportunity that exists in America. The dream is a national ethos of the United States, a set of ideals in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, and an upward social mobility for people, achieved through hard work in a society with few barriers. At the same time, in another country, president Xi Jinping indicated that the greatest Chinese dream is the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, during a speech at the National Museum’s exhibit. Many scholars and journalists have interpreted Mr. Xi’s words to mean that the Chinese dream is a collective vision, which contrasts with the American dream which is an individual one. However, in my point of view, both dreams have similar and different elements based on each nation’s unique circumstances. Different cultures have cultivated different values, beliefs, and different political cultures, which cannot be judged with a single meta-narrative (Li). In fact, their differences make it more possible for the American dream and the Chinese dream to coexist.A dream often starts from the pursuit of beautiful things and the desire for freedom from suffering. Because of differences in political systems, history and national strength, two dreams are also different. China is the one of the greatest developing countries in the world. 170 years ago, Japan launched massive aggression against China. Due to this aggression, Chinese people soon developed a strong awareness of saving the nation and ensuring its survival. What is more, China became a country with high self-esteem. And nowadays, the Chinese people are pursuing a national revival. As Wasserstrom said, “And he encourages the state media to promulgate the idea that the Chinese dream —a grand process of national resurgence that will return China to the position of global centrality it enjoyed before a century of humiliation at the hands of West, and Japan, between 1842 and 1949 — is about to be realized” (Wasserstrom). As a result, the Chinese dream is first of all a collective concept that a rich country and strong army are paramount.On the contrary, the American dream emerged in the Colonial Period. Many people immigrated to America for a better life. It has unique natural resources, geographical environment, and progressive ideas of equality and liberty. So the main dream for the nation is making sure people living in the country are rich and happy enough. For decades, the American dream has inspired individual creativity and positivity and has influenced the whole world a lot. What is more, the United States is also the richest and strongest country in the world. Also there are similarities between the Chinese dream and the American dream. The similarities lie in the common aspirations for a better life. While both dreams hope for success, the American dream stresses the spirit of freedom, social mobility and individual wealth but the Chinese dream pinpoints nation’ s prosperity, unity and stability.In 21st century, every country is in a critical historical period of the coexist of opportunities and challenges. Because of the growth of capitalism and globalization, all the countries connect to each other much better and have many opportunities for economic benefits. Also, the differences between culture and standard of living make every country face to the challenges of living qualities and country strength. It is true that capitalist ideology still holds a powerful influence over many people, like the American dream that if you work hard, you can raise your standard of living. Marche (269) says, “Work hard and stay late and you get to be a banker or doctor; drop out of high school or start using drugs and you’ll end up at McDonald’s.”But this idea is beginning to crack under the pressure of capitalism and the class system. As he says, “It is obvious that a class system has arrived in America – a recent study of the thirty- four countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development found that only Italy and Great Britain have less social mobility” (Marche 267). The American dream has now turned into a nightmare. While CEO salaries and corporate profits soar, workers are working harder and faster for less pay and benefits. Nowadays, the forces of inequality are simply too powerful and it has become the biggest challenge faced by the United States.As a developing country, China is facing much more challenges. Mr. Xi insists confidentially that the Chinese dream will satisfy not just his aspiration but those of “each Chinese person”. As Wasserstrom said, “However, it cannot hide the fact that China’s leaders continue to be plagued by nightmares not unlike those that haunted them in1989. Under Mr. Xi the party has carried out a fierce crackdown aimed at limiting dissent, often described the hardest since 1989.”It has also tightened control over the press and social media. What ismore, Mr. Xi saysthat the Chinese dream is to keep the economy growing. In the last three decades, china has lifted600million people out of poverty. To complete this, China has developed a lot of industries. As a result, the pollution strongly influenced people’s life nowadays. The air pollution, water pollution and some other pollution are all harmful to people’s health. As Wasserstrom said:Perhaps the most urgent fear is this: a sense among even those Chinese whose living standards have soared that frantic development has come at too high a price. Never in history have the promise and peril of head-spinning modernization been so apparent within the space of a single lifetime. Acountry where the authorities call the air in the capital “fine” on days when nearby skyscrapers are completely shrouded from view, where waterways are suddenly and inexplicably clogged by enormous numbers of pig carcasses, where once-revered elders live in rural poverty and isolation — this is the stuff of nightmares (Wasserstrom).I think it will take China much more time and money to deal with these problems.In addition, China and America are both facing some similar problems, especially some social issues like healthcare, education, housing and retirement. For example, healthcare is very important for both countries. They all need to pay more attention on keeping people away from suffering of diseases. In addition, both countries should ensure that everyone can receive high education. What is more, the high price of houses and the needs of the elderly for financial support during retirement are also big challenges for China and America to deal with. Last but not least, economic transformation, innovations, political reform and nation services are also main problems for all the countries in the world.I am an international student. So both the Chinese dream and the Americandream mean a lot to my family. I want to be an engineer when I finish my study in the college. As Chinese, I prefer contributing my talent to the nation’s prosperity than working for my own wealth. During my study abroad in America, I have found the United States an open country. The country provides the same opportunity to everyone in order to make people live a life with high quality. I think highly of the advantages of the American dream.Obviously, the Chinese dream is different from the American dreamand both countries are facing many challenges, but it does not necessarily lead to an inevitable clash between these two dreams or even these two states and cultures. It is inappropriate to argue over which dream is better. In my opinion, the whole world can benefit from these two dreams by accepting the essence and rejecting the slag.Work citedLi, Eric X,/talks/eric_x_li_a_tale_of_two_political_systems?language=zh-cn June 2013.Marche, Stephen. “We are not created equal.”America Now. 10th ed.

美国梦与中国梦讲解稿
American dreams and Chinese dreamsGood afternoon,ladies and gentlemen.I am honored to stand here and represent my group to show my presentation .First,Let's think about a question:What is dream? Dream is our goal to avoid getting lost in the pursuit of our life.Dream is our beacon when we have a long and lonely voyage at sea. Dream is a word showing the strongest desire of someone’s inner heart . Today,our theme is based on the discussion of American dreams and Chinese dreams .Now, let’s start with the American dreams first.The term American dream was first mentioned by James Truslow Adams in his book 《The Epic of American》which was written in 1931.He states in his book ：“the American Dream is a dream of land,each person has a better, richer and more fulfilling life,and those who have the ability or achievement are always full of opportunities.”So what is the real meaning of American dreams? I think most of you have your own conception.Is it FREEDOM,or EQUALITY.Is it INDINVDUALISM or MOBILITY,and what about DEMOCRACY?Yeah,we can conclude six basic beliefs from American dreams: individual freedomself-relianceequality of opportunitycompetitionmaterial wealthhard workThe American Dream is the dream of a land where all people can succeed through hard work. It is also an idea that suggests that all people have the potential to live happy, successful lives.Barack Obama is the New Symbol of the "American Dream". As the first black president, Barack Obama pushed America's transformation. Facing so many challenges without fear,he dedicated himself to the country. Obama himself is the greatest example of American Dream. With the belief that”Yes,we can”, he fought for people's better lives and led America to bestronger and richer.After becoming the biggest idol, he is the reason why many American teenagers have their own dreams and keep fighting for it. The former South African President Nelson Mandela wrote a letter to congratulate Obama: "Your victory proved that all the world should be for the courage to dream, dare to dream to make this world a better place."At the other site of Pacific Ocean, a historical country is raising again – China. Chinese dream is a hot topic nowadays. What does it come from?We can see the origin of Chinese dream from this chart .Since the opium war in 1840 ,China began the road of modernization with humiliation.In order to save the nation from extinction,Chinese sacrifices a lot to become rich and powerful.In 1912,the Republic of China was founded.Sun zhongshan became the first provisional president of China,which contributed to our national independence and people liberation.Finally,the establishment of the People's Republic of China by Mao Zedong created a new glorious chapter.The "Chinese dream"was formally put forth on Nov 29th,2012 by Chinese President Xi Jinping ,in order to build a prosperous society and realize national rejuvenation. The "Chinese dream" sometimes can be small like:A big houseA happy marriageA harmonious familyTraveling around the worldSometimes can be large like:Realize the great revivalSuper powerA harmonious societyStable development in economyOur country has experienced ups and downs during the five thousand years. Had brilliant time also humiliation. But our country has never given up the pace of progress. As every American has an American dream ,so does every Chinese.What should we do together for our Chinese dream?Considering the above,we can conclude some differences between American dreams and Chinese dreams.Chinese dreams focus on struggle and success of the whole nation,and rejuvenate the country through the road of socialism with Chinese characteristic.While American dreams focus on personal struggle and success.At last fully realize individual self value.However,either Chinese dream or American dream is telling people to hold hope and continue making efforts, to keep trying. Both are about the willing that to live a better life.Once I saw a film, just as the films says: today is present and tomorrow is mystery. If you are going to act it now, you will have the chance to accomplish your dream. Nevertheless the dream is still a dream.Now everybody , Let us spare no effort to stick with our dreams , release our dreams and realize our dreams.Let us cheer for our Chinese dreams!!!So much for my presentation.Thanks for your listening.。

American_Dream_and_Chinese_Dream
American Dream and Chinese DreamToday I want to talk about American Dream and Chinese Dream. I think it has many different between American Dream and Chinese Dream. American Dream mains "Life should be better, richer and fuller, with opportunity for each one", Nowadays, people are looking toward a new American Dream with less focus on financial gain and more emphasis on living a simple, fulfilling life. I don't know what's the Chinese Dream in my impression .It is rich and powerful or rising? I think it is a very difficult questions but I believe everyone has a dream.“More and better, endless……”at first representative of this simple idea of American Dream .Later in the Declaration of Independence will be turned into a solemn statement :All men are created equal, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness "natural rights". “If we can dream it, we can go it.” Aluminum doors on the Florida space center, the Americans planted under this sentence. I seem to understand the differences of Chinese and Americans in the behavior and the concept. Also seems to understand why these two countries after nearly a century of struggle. Still often show do not give and do not understand with each for some reason. The Chinese in pursue of saints and completeness of their knowledge for themselves to achieve the dream of life. Americans in pursue of unlimited personal freedom and happiness for themselves to achieve the dream of life.Two dream with two completely different consciousness, different ideas, different beliefs, and even different cultural backgrounds and political. On one occasion, I see a healthy, not make-up young woman in the street. She rode on a simple tricycle. She also dressed in embroidered black cloth in the rarely seen city. Her two lovely children sat in a pile of debris of the tricycle. She rode a very tough, but still strived to move forward. In the front seems to have something to attract her. I was shocked. This is the kind of indomitable spirit .What is the dream of this young Chinese woman? These two lovely children is her hope. So an ordinary Chinese people's dream and an ordinary American dream is the same point of view. That is the pursuit of happiness, yearning for a more beautiful life. We know an American named Martin Luther King when we are in middle school. He is the leader of the civil rights movement. His phrase "I Have a Dream" spread around the world. Let the world know the power of the American Dream. The American dream is the hope of dream, the success of dream, the dream of equality, happiness of dream. Our country has experienced vicissitudes for the five thousand years. Had a brilliant also humiliation. But our country has never given up the pace of progress. Because in the minds of every Chinese person has a dream. I hope the prosperity of China, People live happy lives. This is what I understand Chinese dream and the American Dream.。
美国梦和中国梦英语作文
美国梦和中国梦英语作文The "American Dream" and the "Chinese Dream" are two distinct cultural concepts that have captured the imagination of people around the world. Both dreams represent aspirationsfor a better life, but they are rooted in the unique historical, social, and economic contexts of the United States and China, respectively.The American Dream is often described as the set of ideals that includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, as well as the freedom to achieve one's own goals regardless of one's background. It is the belief that anyone, with enough determination and hard work, can attain a happy and successful life in the United States. This dream is closely tied to the country's history as a land of immigrants and its values of individualism and self-reliance.In contrast, the Chinese Dream, as articulated by China's leaders, is a more recent concept that emphasizes national rejuvenation and the pursuit of a better life for the Chinese people. It is centered around the idea of achieving the "great renaissance of the Chinese nation" and often includes the goals of improving the country's economic, political, and cultural standing in the world. The Chinese Dream also encourages individual prosperity but within the context of contributing to the collective strength and well-being of the nation.While the American Dream is more individualistic and focuses on personal success, the Chinese Dream is more collectivist and emphasizes the importance of individual achievements contributing to national goals. The American Dream is often associated with the pursuit of wealth and personal freedom, whereas the Chinese Dream is more about social harmony, stability, and the elevation of the country's status on the global stage.In conclusion, both the American Dream and the Chinese Dream are powerful ideas that inspire people to strive for a better future. However, they reflect the different culturalpriorities and historical trajectories of the United States and China. Understanding these dreams can provide valuable insights into the aspirations and values of these two influential nations.。

AmericandreamandChinesedream美国梦和中国梦
AmericandreamandChinesedream美国梦和中国梦My Understanding of the Chinese DreamEvery person has a dream, so does every nation.The term “American dream” is used many ways, but it essentially is an idea that suggests that everyone in US can succeed through hard work, courage and determination to achieve prosperity. Many people have expanded upon or refined the definition to include things such as freedom, fulfillment and meaningful relationships. For minorities and immigrants, the dream also includes freedom and equal rights.The Chinese people also have made their nation’s dream. China Dream has been changed by thousands of years and inspired among different things by the past of three decades of reform and opening-up. The salient features of China Dream include inclusiveness and win-win cooperation.The “China Dream”, put forth explicitly by Chinese president Xi Jingping on December 29,2012, is to build a prosperous society, realize national rejuvenation, and create better lives of Chinese people. It entails sustaining steady and healthy economic growth, scientifically managing the Chinese society, and responding to risks and competitions among various countries.These were values held by many early European settlers, and have been passed on to subsequent generations.It is obvious that the important reasons why American and Chinese Dreams are based on social changes and economic factors. Whether you refer to the phenomenon as an American Dream or China Dream, its meaning is enriched by social, political, and economic developments. From the initial pursuit of freedom,to the pursuit of material, resulting in being successful in the eyes of others, the American Dream and the China Dream are essentially different, but they will achieve the same goal in the end.。
中国梦美国梦英文作文
中国梦美国梦英文作文The Chinese Dream and the American Dream are two concepts that have been widely discussed in recent years. Both dreams represent the aspirations of their respective nations and reflect their unique cultural values and historical experiences. In this essay, I will explore the similarities and differences between these two dreams and their significance for the world.The Chinese Dream is a concept that was first introduced by President Xi Jinping in 2012. It is based on the idea of achieving the "great rejuvenation" of the Chinese nation, which involves economic prosperity, social stability, and national unity. The Chinese Dream is rooted in China's long history and cultural traditions, which emphasize the importance of family, harmony, and hard work. It also reflects the country's rapid economic development and its growing global influence.The American Dream, on the other hand, has been a partof American culture for over a century. It is based on the idea that anyone, regardless of their background or social status, can achieve success and prosperity through hard work and determination. The American Dream is closelylinked to the country's founding principles of liberty, democracy, and equality. It has been a source ofinspiration for generations of Americans and has attracted immigrants from all over the world.Despite their differences, the Chinese Dream and the American Dream share some common themes. Both dreams emphasize the importance of hard work, education, and personal responsibility. They also reflect the aspirations of their respective nations to achieve greater economic prosperity and social stability. However, there are also significant differences between these two dreams.One of the main differences is the role of the state in achieving these dreams. In China, the government plays a central role in promoting economic growth and social stability. The Chinese Dream is closely linked to the government's policies and initiatives, such as the "OneBelt, One Road" initiative and the "Made in China 2025" plan. In contrast, the American Dream is moreindividualistic and emphasizes the role of the free market and entrepreneurship in achieving success.Another difference is the cultural values that underpin these dreams. The Chinese Dream is rooted in Confucianism, which emphasizes the importance of social harmony, respect for authority, and loyalty to the family and community. In contrast, the American Dream is based on the values of individualism, self-reliance, and personal freedom. These differences reflect the unique historical experiences and cultural traditions of these two nations.Despite these differences, the Chinese Dream and the American Dream have significant implications for the world. Both dreams represent the aspirations of their respective nations to achieve greater economic prosperity, social stability, and national unity. They also reflect the growing global influence of China and the United States, which have become major players in the global economy and politics.In conclusion, the Chinese Dream and the American Dream are two important concepts that reflect the aspirations of their respective nations. While they share some common themes, they also have significant differences in terms of their cultural values and the role of the state in achieving these dreams. However, both dreams have significant implications for the world and will continue to shape the global economy and politics in the years to come.。

We still have a lot to do.。
Chinese Dream and American Dream
Chinese Dream and American Dream“I have a dream,” we say to the world. One cannot deny that success begins with little dreams. Every time when I look at the statue of the thinker, I am also thinking what the world looks like and what the dream of myself, of our country, even of our world are.Often, we hear about the conception of American Dream. Undoubtedly, America is a place full of dreams. The new land has been admirable since Columbus discovered it by chance. It has been a symbol of dream and everyone is given equal opportunity. Yesterday, I watched a new Chinese movie named American Dreams in China. It is about the most successful English educational institution--New Oriental’s history of success. I remember one of the characters says “America is the first step to change the world”.American dream is to seek for liberty and equality. We can never forget the claim of Martin Luther King--“I have a dream today”, the voice of revolting against the discrimination, the voice of calling for justice and the voice of fighting for right. He spoke his dream out loudly, heard by the whole world. Then he, along with all the African-Americans, realized their dream and gained their freedom. They fought for themselves, the fought for their own American dreams.American dream is to convey personal style. When you hold an iphone in your hand, does it occur to you that how Jobs Steven makes Apple as the world No.1 cell phone brand? Starting from nothing, Jobs, together with another partner, corporated the company Apple.From small to big, from weak to strong, Apple continues to change people’s way of perceiving and experiencing the world. The success of the company, the admiration for Jobs and the love for Apple are all the praises for Americans’ talent to create and the realization of American dreams.About the creation of Americans lies in everywhere. It is because of sufficient talent of creation that America becomes the place where dreams plunge their roots. Disneyland is the world famous children’s wonderland. But who can imagine that the idea comes from the Mickey Mouse created by poor Disney? The biggest fast food chine store KFC opens restaurants all over the world. But does somebody know that an 88 year-old old man make it successful? Well, they showed their success and achieved their American dreams.American dream, as a mainstream value, affects deeply in Americans’ heart. To realize their American dream is to be self-successful. When it comes to American dreams, the road of the American presidents to realize theirs cannot be neglected. The dream made Lincoln’s efforts to abolish the Slavery and his speech “that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth”become reality. The dream drove the sons of a salesmen to be the presidents (Regan and Clinton), even unprecedentedly drove the son of a black man to be the president. How powerful the American dreams are!Somebody says American dreams are for those who take risks. Every year, many Chinese students dream to pursue knowledge in America. Many graduates dream to get a job in an American IT company. Li Kaifu, an IT researcher and now the CEO ofhis own company, is an excellent example to realize his American dream successfully. The same goes for the movie star Bruce Lee, he went to American and let Chinese Kung fu known all over the world. The pursuers of American dreams continue from one generation to the next.However, Chinese dream is much different from American dream. This year, under the governance of the new chairman Xi Jinping, China is given a new theme of the age. Chairman Xi completely elaborates the definition of Chinese Dream. The new theme arouses great interests among people and becomes the hottest topic.Chinese dreams are not about single individuals but relate to the whole China—the dream of the nation, the dream of the country. Chinese dreams emphasize everyone as an integrate group and award those who sacrifice themselves for the big family—our nation. “Solidarity is strength” is our permanent motto.To realize our nation’s revitalization is the basic task. To render our country thrive in the world is the unchangeable dream of Chinese people. During many years, the Communist Party of China struggled for our nation’s independence and unity. From the moment that Chairman Mao, standing on the Tian’anmen Square, announced that People’s Republic of China was officially established, our dignity was rebuilt, and our nation has stood up from then. We always keep our Chinese dream in mind that we will be strong.Being divided is always the pain of our nation as a mother loses her own children. The unity of our nation is inviolable. It was such an exciting moment when we got Hong Kong and Ao Men back in 1997 and 1999. But our country still has one child of hers wandering outside—Taiwan, although we are eager to embrace him. So, to protect the integration of our territory is our Chinese dream that we are seeking for all the way.How many times we go to the doctor’s only to find the medical price raising? How many times we hear our mothers complaining about the high price of food in the market? Although the GDP of our country has increased fast in recent years, there are still lots of people who cannot pay their medical fee and educational fee. Our social welfare and subsidy for the old and poor still have a long way to go. The basic guarantee of people’s life has large room to be improved. It is exactly this dream that makes us realize our responsibility to our country and our people.“All that we do must put people’s interests in the first place”, this is a belief of every member of the party, as well as every responsible individual in the society. Lei Feng, who is the symbol of helping others selflessly, spread his lofty spirit around our country. In the matter of fact, we have many these kinds of beliefs and culture. Someone asks, does China really become a strong country? In order to respond to this question, there raises another three questions: when would most talent people in other countries like to sent their children to study in China? When would most young people in the world like to watch Chinese movies, listen to Chinese music and read Chinese books? When would most consumers all over the world like to buy Chinese brands? The three questions look simple, but they relate to cultural soft power. When our culture is accepted around the world, the true moment that we are strong is reached.These are our Chinese dream. Many people may think that the conception of Chinese dreams roots in American dreams. Maybe, but our dreams are totally different from American dreams. We are fighting not for individuals but for our country while Americans are fighting for themselves. As for our Chinese, the achievements of individuals are not as successful as the achievements of the teams, even the nation.Anyway, both American dream and Chinese dream are all that people are going to pursue. As college students, it’s our duty to keep the dreams deeply in mind and try our best to accomplish them no matter how many difficulties lie in the front. Just as New Oriental, some people may hold a negative attitude towards it, but what we cannot deny is that it does offer a quicker and more efficient way to conquer English and overcome the difficult examinations of TOEFL, IELTS and GRE, and open the door of dream.I remember a sentence said by former American president Kennedy that “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”. Maybe we can change it into this way—ask not only what problems China has, but also what problems you can solve for China. Let’s go—for our dreams!。
ChinesedreamandAmericandream
Chinese dream and American dreamIn the passed years,we did’t find that people talked about Chinese dream.However,after the present of PRC Xi put forward this notion in the closed eighteenth national congress,the phrase become heating.We used to hear “American dream”——no matter Martin Luther King’s American dream or gold digger’s American dream or Obama’American dream,so when the Chinese dream comes into being ,we compare them an a matter of course.Some compatriots criticize American dream crucially,saying that “American dream overemphasizes the individual development,and pay to much attention on the pursue of money and power,which has nothing to do with the nation”,whereas most Chinese share the opinion that our Chinese dream ,to achiever the great revivement of the Chinese nation which is tightly related to every individual dreams, is superior.But according to my view,this is the prejudice towards American.American dream has both generalized meaning and narrow meaning. The generalized meaning is “democracy，liberty，and equality”which is very relevant to individual.Even so ,someone may also hold the opinion strongly that the dream of one nation is more important than the dream of individual.However,have these people thought about that why American dream break away from nation?Because its own nation is powerful enough to be the number one of the paring with American,China is nearly in the second place that not very stable yet.Chinese dream focusing on the revivement of the Chinese nation is also due to the historical reason.China used to be a formidable nation in some special periods ,such as in Song,Qing dynasty.So we say the revivement.But if China is as mighty as American,China may also advocate the individual development.we didn’t,not because we don’t mean to,but because based on the current national condition,we couldn’t.Although American dream may have shortage,but we couldn’t define it as a subject that doesn’t have any advantage at all.For example, America concentrates on the creativity of children more,so that there are more talents in America.But the result is totally different in china.what we have is the talent to get high marks in school,notwell performance in society.we have to face the fact that only under the atmosphere of emphasizing on the individual development,can a nation be so successful in cultivating creativity.All of what I have written is to illustrate that there is no use to discriminate which dream is better,and no need to debate which dream should we support .All dreams are wonderful as long as it can bring motivation,opportunity and happiness to the citizen.I appreciate such attitude and method that is tobe open minded so that learn from others merits in order to improve ourselves.So next time when we hear someone discussing about which dream is better or how bad the others nations’dream are,we should not only don’t join in them,but also stop the stupid topic.One day, after we have take in all the advantage of others and become a true powerful nation,it is useless to talk about it.because the outcome has prove it.。
The American Dream VS The Chinese Dream
The American Dream VSThe Chinese DreamBY AbbyThe American Dream is a national ethos['iːθɒs] 民族精神 of the United States, a set of ideals in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, and an upward social mobility向上社会流动achieved through hard work. In the definition of the American Dream by James Truslow Adams in 1931, "life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement" regardless of social class or circumstances of birth.The idea of the American Dream is rooted in the United States Declaration of Independencewhich proclaims that "all men are created equal" and that they are "endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights" including "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."The Chinese Dream is a new term within Chinese socialist thought and describes a set of ideals in the People's Republic of China. It is used by journalists, government officials, and activists to describe the role of the individual in Chinese society.In 2013 the Communist Party (CPC) General Secretary Xi Jinping began promoting the phrase as a slogan, leading to its widespread use in the Chinese media. Xi has described the dream as "national rejuvenation[rɪ,dʒʊvə'neʃən], improvement of people’s livelihoods, prosperity, construction of a better society and military strengthening.” He has stated that young people should "dare todream, work assiduously [ə'sidʒuəsli]勤勉地to fulfill the dreams and contribute tothe revitalization[ri,vaɪtəlɪ'zeʃən] of the nation." According to the party's theoretical journal Qiushi, the Chinese Dream is about Chinese prosperity, collective集体的effort, socialism and national glory.Some believe that, although the phrase has been used previously by many Western journalists and Chinese activists,a translation of a New York Times article written by the American journalist Thomas Friedman, "China Needs Its Own Dream", has been credited with popularizing the concept in China. He attributes the term to Peggy Liu and the environmental NGO JUCCCE's China Dream project,which defines the Chinese Dream as sustainable development可持续发展.。

American Dream and Chinese Dream
America is one of the most powerful countries in the world. Its economy is developing rapidly. All the people are seeking to freedom, equality and happiness. On the land, people have American Dream, for this dream，they are working hard and Struggling. What’s more, American Dream inspires millions of people from home and abroad to America, for achieving the American Dream.
As is known to us, American Dream is the idea that life should be better, richer and fuller, with opportunity for each one.
First of all, history about American Dream .America Dream began in the discovery of North America, it was due to opening of the sea lanes and discovery of the new continent, so there were great number of settlers and immigrants poured into the United States of America, they offered premise condition to American culture. It was formed on the" Declaration of independence" and" the United States Constitution" formulation and everybody had equal rights became the mainstream ideology. It was developed in the rise of capitalism. What’s more, Westward Movement promoted American Dream to zenith and it became the United States National Spirit.
In addition, people about American Dream. We will never forget Andrew Carnegie, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr and Obama and so on. They are very great, because they made great contributions to American Dream.
However, what is the American Dream today? It is including space exploration, economic globalization and three leading ways to instant wealth.
The purpose of space exploration: to improve life here, to extend life to there, to find life beyond. So space exploration has achieved many breakthroughs, for example Apollo landed on the moon, it made great achievements.
Economic globalization pushes forward American dream. For example, multinational corporations make America more and more richer.
Three leading ways to instant wealth are large-prize television game shows, big-jackpot state lotteries and compensation lawsuits. The three leading ways will make people be a millionaire in a moment.
When it comes to this，I think Chinese Dream is similar to American Dream, it is life should be better, richer and fuller, with opportunity for each one. For example, GDP turn over two doubles. But because the social nature is difference, so there are different ways to achieving Chinese Dream. For example, we develop the country through science and education.
What’s more, from ancient times to the present, Chinese Dream from having enough food to having clothes and houses; from improving life to improving the state. People do everything for Chinese Dream. For example, in the joint efforts of Chinese, China has achieved the Space Dream and Olympic Dream.
As a Chinese, in order to achieving Chinese Dream, I should study hard, with action to make contributions to the motherland.
In a word, American Dream into American life；American Dream is spirit of America. It inspires millions of people from home and abroad to America. However, Chinese Dream has become Chinese spiritual power. I am proud of having Chinese Dream.。
