In other words, not quite as old as the good old American dream itself.
That good old American dream, by the way, is not what it used to be.
The way I understand it, the old American dream, apart from helping one achieving the material dream of prosperity via hard work, also represents freedom, liberty, equal opportunity as well as all the other good things you can think of.
Nowadays, judging from such facts as stagnating income and lower wages and the increasing chasm between the rich and poor, it’s safe to say that upward social mobility is not as smooth and obstacle-free as it used to be.
People can still dream, of course and are keeping up the fight, but like I said, things are not what they used to be two generations ago.
Thanks (and no thanks), in no small part, to corporate globalization.
Anyways, that’s how corporate globalization puts a great, and deep, dent to the American dream.
However, ideals will go on. The American dream will recover, rejuvenate and remain strong.
And, hopefully, soon.
Now, media examples of “wrecking ball”:
1. Chelsea striker Diego Costa has revealed he did “everything” possible to force a move back to former club Atletico Madrid ahead of the current campaign, prompting an “angry” reaction from manager Antonio Conte.
The Blues forward was linked with a switch back to the Spanish capital ahead of the 2016-17 term, having endured an inconsistent second season at Stamford Bridge. In an interview with El Larguero (h/t Alex Smith of the Daily Mirror) Costa spoke candidly about his desire to make a return to the Vicente Calderon.
