What are some of the uses for gold describing in the passage the allure of gold

Gold has impacted, and will continue to impact, human society and history. Whether used as jewelry or currency, gold carries value. Its properties-weight, durability, malleability, rarity, and beauty combine to make it a natural symbol of wealth and prosperity. People want gold. Its pursuit has driven economic and technological development across the ages, all over the globe, from South Africa to California and beyond. But not without cost: the pursuit of gold has negative impacts, both environmental and social. Nevertheless, this precious mineral formed in space continues to inspire us. We, like the ancient peoples who first discovered it, are touched by the allure of gold.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
