2. Read the excerpt from Franklin D. Roosevelt's Four Freedoms speech: In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world
founded upon four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression - everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way -
everywhere in the world
The third is freedom from want - which, translated into world terms, means
economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime
life for its inhabitants - everywhere in the world
The fourth is freedom from fear - which, translated into world terms, means a
world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough
fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical
aggression against any neighbor - anywhere in the world.
Instructions:
Create an outline for a speech that connects one of the four freedoms discussed in
this excerpt to your own life. In the first part of the outline, organize an explanation of
what Roosevelt's freedom (whichever one you picked) means. In the second part of
the outline, organize your explanation of how this freedom connects to at least one
event from your life. The first and second parts of your outline do not need to be of
equal length. Throughout the outline, be sure to cite or describe specific evidence
from the text or from your personal experiences. Also, organize ideas appropriately,
develop your argument with relevant information, and provide a concluding section.
