The American Dream

     Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was an amazing man who suffered being jailed over twenty times, being stabbed in the chest, and a horrible bombing to his own home.  Yet he didn't believe in violence to solve any sort of problem. 
     The American Dream said that all men were to be treated equal.  That is what Dr. King was trying to overcome; segregation.  It also says that men are "endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights."  Those rights include; life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 
     Standing in the way of achieving this dream is that all people think the same way.  Most everyone needs to agree when we do something drastic.  Everyone is opinionated. 
     Dr. King delivers ideas that support how we can achieve this dream.  He said that everyone needs to develop a world perspective.  This means to set a good reputation for the US.  Think about how people foreign to the United States would see us. 
     Dr. King has taught us so much and I still have a lot to learn from him.  He has made us aware of many things around the world, let alone the United States.  There are so many possibilities that the next American Dream could be.  Along with those come a variety of outcomes.  Which is why we need to take into consideration of how others see us.
