Description:

The American Dream has long been a central feature of America's cultural understanding. For generations, Americans old and new have held fast to the belief that this was the land of opportunity, that upward mobility was available to everyone, and that hard work, ability, and maybe a little luck were all that were needed to ensure material success. This course seeks to combine historical, literary, art historical, and other approaches to exploring the American Dream. Along the way we will gain insight into crucial questions for today: What are some of the constraints faced by people seeking to make better lives for themselves Whose work makes possible the material success of those living the American Dream Can we envision a society in which success and personal fulfillment are available to all 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Amer and Int'l Studies College American Studies Department Course Attributes: MJ-AMER- Amer History, GE-INTERCULT NORTH AMERICA
