Biased Dream (Post 12)

The concept of The American Dream is somewhat of a misnomer to begin with. I say this (and more likely than not misuse the term) to mean that the concept of The American Dream is such wishful, idealistic thinking that when one attempts to pursue it, they become blindsided by the fact that the reality of the situation is so far displaced from the concept that it is offensive. In the society of yesteryear, as in the world of small business that is still somewhere to be found today, traces of The American Dream in its idealistic form can be detected. That is to say that people going on their own to become something to someone, or whatever their definition of happiness is, is still somewhat possible. On the flip side, the ever-increasing prevalence of corporate business makes it increasingly harder for "the little guy" to do something on his or her own without being crushed by the primary cause of the corruption that has made the concept of The American Dream so hard to realize. I would have to agree with Cruz in his opinion of the way in which corporate society is going, on the grounds that the increasing presence of big business in the role of society is undeniable.
