About This Quote
The American family shattered for the simple reason that it was American, not global. This is an extremely poignant statement made by the former US president George W. Bush. He said he had no regrets about the war in Iraq because it was part of the American way of life.
He was referring to the American dream, which he believed is more than just a dream. It is an ideal that inspired many people to work hard and achieve success, hoping to get more of what they have. The traditional family consisted of people who stick together and their ‘dream’ that they will get more than they have right now.
The simple reason that the American family shattered into pieces was because of globalization. A new world order where countries work together instead of against each other has caused this family to be broken up and its dream shattered forever.
