Definition 1 — Investopedia:
The American Dream is the idea that anyone, regardless of background, can achieve upward economic and social mobility — financial security, home ownership, and success — through hard work, determination, and initiative.
Definition 2 — The Catalyst / Bush Center (Churchwell):
The American Dream is a historically changing and contested ideal: originally tied to freedom and opportunity, its meaning has shifted over time and often contrasts with persistent inequality and policy choices that limit equal access to that promise.
Definition 3 — The Steve Harvey Show:
A motivational, action-oriented view of the American Dream: personal success is attainable through the right mindset, clear goals, faith, discipline, and practical steps like entrepreneurship and hard work.
