Topic > The American Dream exposed in Sicko, by Michael Moore

America is a place where myriads of people wanted to emigrate and live because the American dream exists, the same meaning of opportunity to pursue life, liberty and search for happiness. This opportunity is social, economic and spiritual. However, the deteriorating political system causes the American Dream to undergo metamorphosis from opportunity to materialism. In some people's minds, the opportunities are not in America, but elsewhere. In the documentary film “Sicko,” director Michael Moore exposes the dysfunctional North American healthcare system, which is primarily aimed at huge profits and not the mission of saving lives. Furthermore, it shows the corruption in the political system, members of government and congress, and the plight of the average American citizen, including those who volunteered to work in the 9/11 rescue mission. Compared to the free, universal healthcare of Canada, the United Kingdom, and France, the United States is a place deprived of the right to survive. In the story "Sea Oak", the lives of Bernie, Min, Jade and the narrator demonstrate that Michael Moore's satirical criticism of the deteriorated system in the United States leads to moral decay and freedom, so in this nation it means inequality between rich and poor . poor, allowing exploitation and creating misery for the poor and middle class; they can only rely on themselves to find the solution to get out of this "freedom" and have a new destiny. Corporations aim for surplus in this capitalist world, allowing the exploited rich the right of the poor, thus depriving them of the right to live simply. with a healthy life. The American dream is gone where the fate of tragedy is inevitable, because no motivation stimulates them to change since they can't even see the beacon that I... middle of paper... tremendous change. He never swears at anyone, even if they don't behave properly. He gives the target to Min, Jade, and the narrator and points out that he has the power to kill them if they tell anyone or don't follow what he said. Before dying again, she insists that she is still as beautiful as before. (Saunders 559) He orders them to fulfill his wish to leave Sea Oak because he has learned from the past that they will not listen to him if he uses the calm tone. To maintain their lives and prevent them from living a miserable life just like her, she must threaten them. The threat has a positive outcome because it can somehow make something go smoothly. America has already changed, and this change is evident in the metamorphosis of the American dream. It is the result of moral deterioration, of mass man's use of the concepts of good and evil for his own ends.
