"If you were on the 20's, would you like to dream in America?"

Do the 20’s represent the success or failure of the American Dream? I’d dare say not the success or failure of the American Dream, but rather it standardizes the modern version of it. A dream which relied, in the 20’s, in having a nice apartment down town, a nice vehicle, being able to wear some very classy hat and suit and above all, living in the ever so mighty United States, where freedom reigned. Nowadays, for the average foreigner, this dream has mutated to consists of having a white-fenced two storey house, 3.5 children, a cat and a dog, a minivan or sport vehicle to ride the kids to school, spare money to go drink some beers with your friends around once a week and being able to get dead drunk once a month without having to get worried about what people might say. Pure freedom, no questions asked. Ironically enough, the 20’s American dream, being thought as the utmost of freedom, was redefined during an era of racism, alcohol prohibition and an undercover misogyny which looked down at the flappers, and woman overall. It's funny to think how things change; life's a bitch.
