-I still believe in the American dream:

Farid Zakaria

-Indian who moved to the USA

Used to watch “Dallas” in India, in which the perfect American dream was depicted.

- A lot of Indians believed this series, and because of this, a lot of Indians moved to the USA.

- But the reality, wasn’t exactly like the TV series.

But Farid still believes in the A.D., It still exists today to him, he is still influenced by the myth of being able to start from scratch and achieve extraordinary things.

Conclusion:

We may conclude by saying that the American Dream is characterised by the saying that expectations do not always reflect reality, but even though the myth may have died or it may even still exist today, through it an important number of humans became heroes. All those who went through the huge obstacles like the voyage on board the ship or crossing the border alone, crossing a desert by yourself! As just an example… The American dream doesn’t simply involve heroes, it creates Heroes!!!

American Gun Culture:

Notion: Places and forms of power:

-capacity to control, like the authority

-a building or an institution who has a great influence over others.

Theme: American Gun Culture:

A way of thinking and behaving attached to guns, therefore against gun-control. In the USA, this term clearly refers to gun’s advocates.

To what extend can guns’ power influence a society?

- Merrylin remembers:

First, - the destructive impact of guns

-a shooting in the Columbine school

-The teachers were traumatized, and one especially

‘-) he is one of the teachers Merrylin now has, and even 11years after the event, he still rarely talks about it because it was something very difficult for him to digest as he was close to Dylan, the shooter.

- Will Newton change America’s attitude towards guns?

-DOC= CNN reports

-Journalist explains:

‘-) 270million weapons in the hands of civilians

‘-) most armed people in the world

‘-) It’s anchored in the history, even in the 1st amendment.

Fire arms are even protected by lobbies like NRA

‘-) one of the most powerful lobbies.

- Brady campaign poster

But there are also groups who are willing to fight against guns.

-Poster= awareness campaign

‘-) 10k people are murdered by guns

‘-) a very big amount compared to other countries listed

-Brady campaign represent those who advocate delegalization of guns in the USA.

- Jonesboro school shooter free after 7 years + Getting a gun in Colorado

For the final part; Jonesboro school shooter free after 7years :

-shows that justice could maybe not be adapted to the crimes provoked by gun usage.

-Mitchell Johnson, the shooter has no criminal record and could just legally rebuy a gun.

This takes us to our last document:

Getting a gun in Colorado:

- In Colorado, it’s very easy to obtain a gun

- ‘-) you don’t need a permit if you wear it visibly

- ‘-) you just have to be 18 years old.

- Pretty much any one could have a fire arm on him, which provokes incidents and accidents.

Conclusion:

We have seen that guns are present in the American society, that it’s presence has been anchored into the history and even the authority, with the amendment as well as the NRA.

Guns do influence the society, and in most cases in a bad way but there are also groups who keep getting bigger of American civilians who want to supress and remove guns from America’s culture.
