In my 10th grade English class, we all had to come up with our own advertisement for the "American dream", which showed what the "American dream" was to us. For me , at the time, Star Trek epitomized the American dream -- a combination of high technology, innovation and optimism. (THe video is very low quality because the high quality file got corrupted on the CD. I also made a DVD of this, but was too lazy to rip it. It was pretty low quality to begin with.)
