Are You Living the American Dream?

We studied the American Dream in school (can you believe it?), during 9th grade Human Geography classes. According the the definition, here are the main components to the dream:

1. A nice house
2. Oppurtunities to work, as well as for entrepreneurship
3. Good weather for most of the year
4. Lots of availability of food and water
5. A stable, democratic country

There were more things to it, but these are the main things I can rememeber. I can clearly remember the nice cartoon pictures for each thing, and these images somehow haunt me everytime I think of what is a good life. Note that I am not an American citizen myself, nor have I even visited the country - yet.
