I would like an individuals perspective of The "American Dream" that can express the importance of religious freedom and how America helps facilitate these freedoms. Also what uniqueness that the United States presents to fullfill the American Dream and why is United States a better place to realize and fullfill the "American Dream" and what exactly do you believe the American Dream to be. I'm doing a paper for my Enlish class and I would like an inteligent perspective, and thats why I'm asking you. If you have any personal stories that I could use that propose your realization of your American Dream because of some uniqueness that the United States had to offer I would like to read about it. Thanks.

To me, the "American Dream" is the freedom of choices; the choice to worship as I choose, the choice of job or career, and the choice of who I marry and be friends with.

The first amendment (the one that expresses freedom of religion) is a cornerstone of my ability to worship how I like, where I like, when I like. I have talked with others who don't have that amendment to fall back on. When people start to discriminate against my choice of religion, I have something for protection; they do not.

Since it is illegal to discriminate due to religion, we do have some protection from the law. I am unaware of the same in any other country, but I could be wrong.

Given the choice I would not live in any other country, I love the United States.
