How did the american dream change throughout the 20th century?

Explanation:

I believe that the American Dream is still a dream for most Americans and immigrants to America but the way most people view the way to get to the American Dream has changed.

In the past, the American Dream was fulfilled by working hard and saving your money. Over the past many years, people have either not learned those basic lessons or they wish to avoid those necessary steps.

We are bombarded with media messages that you can be rich overnight and that you can have everything and you can have everything right now regardless the cost or that you can write off the costs when you can’t or are not willing to pay the costs to achieve the American Dream.

In the past, many years ago, people realized that they cannot have everything that they want. Today, with media, we see others who have it all and we want it all too without realizing the sweat and sacrifice those with wealth gave to attain their wealth.

In the past, people realized that if they wanted something, they put in hard work and they saved their earnings to pay for their desires. People today only want nice things, they don’t want to work hard and save their money to buy the nice things.

The American Dream is still alive for those willing to work hard for it.

separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another.   the intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances.  

the traditional characterizations of the powers of the branches of american government are:

* the legislative branch is responsible for enacting the laws of the state and appropriating the money necessary to operate the government.

* the executive branch is responsible for implementing and administering the public policy enacted and funded by the legislative branch.

* the judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the constitution and laws and applying their interpretations to controversies brought before it.

forty state constitutions specify that government be divided into three branches:   legislative, executive and judicial.   california illustrates this approach; "the powers of state government are legislative, executive, and judicial.   persons charged with the exercise of one power may not exercise either of the others except as permitted by this constitution."

while separation of powers is key to the workings of american government, no democratic system exists with an absolute separation of powers or an absolute lack of separation of powers. governmental powers and responsibilities intentionally overlap; they are too complex and interrelated to be neatly compartmentalized. as a result, there is an inherent measure of competition and conflict
