Human Dream and Human Exceptionalism

I get tired of hearing about the “American Dream”, now the “Chinese Dream” and every so often about the “American exceptionalism”.

Well, with globalization, the end of western hegemony and the rise of developing nations, these dreams are being revisited and in many cases, diluted.

I have never bought into that theory anyway, have never had faith in these populist slogans and won't support that expression. After all, I feel more like a world citizen.

I prefer something more universal, more planetary, like the human dream and the human exceptionalism. That's as simple as that!
