3.04-Free from Fear:
Has the idea of "freedom from fear" changed over time?

From "The Four Freedoms" by Franklin D Roosevelt in 1941 to the Welcoming Remarks President Obama gave Prime Minister Cameron of the United Kingdom which took place in present day, the "freedom from fear" is still the same. President Obama has the same belief as Roosevelt that everyone everywhere should be able to live free from fear and not have to live in fear. In "The Four Freedoms" Roosevelt talks a world-wide "freedom from fear." He believes everyone everywhere should have four equal rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want-which, and freedom from fear. He says, "That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation.." Roosevelt thinks that it is possible for everyone to get those four basic rights with the right amount of work for them. At the end of his speech he says, "This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its million of free men and women; and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights and keep them. Our strength is our unity of peace." He wants everyone to have freedom and will support anyone that fights for it. In President Obama's welcoming remarks to Prime Minister, Obama talks about being free from fear with opportunities and advancing developments, as well as working and building together. Obama says, "We stand together and we work together and we bleed together and we build together in good times and in bad.." When America works together we become more prosperous and do not have to fear. At the end of talking to the Prime Minister Obama said, " We will stand united in advancing the developments that lift people and nations out of poverty-the new crops that feed a village, the care that saves a mother in childbirth, the

    Freedom is something not a lot of places are fortunate to have, but luckily in America everyone has the right to freedom. What if your freedom was taken away, leaving you helpless? Sadly enough that is how many people feel, and how many people live. Sometimes you have to fight for your freedom no matter what the situation is. Two examples that show this include the texts “The Boys Who Fought” and “Holocaust Survivor Stories” show how many people during World War 2 were deprived of their freedom.…

    Freedom began with the Declaration of Independence, that to this day is still strongly believed in and followed to keep order. The Declaration included freedom of speech, this was practiced when Thomas Jefferson questioned and spoke out against his overly powered government. He made decisions based off of what he knew was fair and took his people into consideration when making big decisions, for example, the Louisiana Purchase. Jefferson’s books may have formed the foundation of Congress’ rebuilt library but he formed the foundation for which this country was built…

    2. The novel takes place, as its title suggests, in two cities: London and Paris. What are some of the differences between these two cities? Between their denizens? What about characters who travel—or move residence—from one to another? How are the cities themselves divided in two? In the first chapter of Tale of Two Cities Dickens states that “There was a king with a large jaw and a queen with a plain face on the throne of England; there was a king with a large jaw and a queen with a fair face on the throne of France” which is starting the book off with comparisons between England and France. Dickens portrays London as a more safe city then Paris, the trials are less cruel, and there are not heads rolling from the guillotine. Paris, on the other hand is more violent, and uses the guillotine to kill there queen. London is more of a “safe haven” and Paris is more of a hell-hole. During the last half of Tale of Two Cities it shows that France has made many new laws about emigrants, and hardly anyone is safe. They kill traitors, innocent, and pretty much everyone who they can prove guilty in court. England, on the other hand does not have any laws about emigrants being traitors, and do not have killing sprees of everyone in prisons.…

    On January 6, 1941, Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave his “State of the Union Address,” in which he gave four essential human freedoms that everyone, everywhere must possess: Freedom to worship, freedom of speech, freedom from fear and freedom from want. He states these freedoms to be “a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation.” Roosevelt gives the idea that with these four freedoms, people are able to successfully work together in a civilized society.

    The four freedoms mentioned in the “Four Freedoms” speech is greatly related to the US Bill of Rights. Roosevelt used what the United States grew off of when they just became an independent country and wanted to apply it to the whole world. The four freedoms were basically taken out of the document of the US bills of rights. He believes that the US bill of rights is the definition of a great democracy. If that is the best way of democracy, Roosevelt wants to apply it to the whole world so that the US stays safe and so the world becomes a better place.…
