A High School Student Looks at the American Dream.
Chabner, Brandon
Social Education, v47 n6 p420-21 Oct 1982
A high school student discusses symptoms of Americans' lack of interest in pursuing their dreams. The American dream has been replaced for many by the need for financial security. The decline of the American dream is reflected in our political leadership and in the decline in importance of intellectual pursuits. (RM)
