A summary on F.D Roosevelt’s “Four Freedoms” Speech
On January 6th 1941, during World War 2, US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered a remarkable speech to the US Congress. This speech is an unprecedented milestone in the history of democracy to establish equality and liberty to contribute the democratic world in respect of politics, war, administration and technology as a leading strength in our world today.
I preferred this
speech, for the reason that, he focused some important guidelines in his
speech signifying that America is the symbol of real democratic
institution with which all chains of captivity can be possible to be
uprooted. I have been overwhelmed by going through his speech where the
realism of free nation enjoying sound body and sound mind has been
vividly mulled over. He disliked bitterness and conspiracy; rather he
put forth the model of freedom as a tentative flow. I think, Rudyard
Kipling, a famous English poet has really understood the perpetual
meaning of free nation among the children in the following few lines of
his poem.
‘Forgiveness free of evil done
And love to all men neath the sun’
It is important in the
sense that in this speech, he said publicly that four freedoms are
inevitable to a prosperous democracy. This milestone has been reflected
in the form of real democracy, for the people, by the people and of the
people. Such milestones are freedom of speech, freedom of worship,
freedom of want and freedom of fear. In this speech, in the upcoming
days, he explored some ways to make sure by looking forward a world
founded upon such milestones of freedom. According to him, the first one
is freedom of speech and expression which is leading every where in the
world to make freedom meaningful in order to strengthen the democratic
institution virtually. He then strongly contemplated that the second one
is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way- every where
in the world. In regard to 3rd one, he pointed out every one
in the state choreography should ensure freedom from want- which,
translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will
secure to every nation a healthy peace time life for its inhabitants-
every where in the world.
Further more, the
fourth one 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-every where in the world.
I
have also been impressed when he talks about the reality of freedom and
free nation. According to him a free nation has the right to expect
full cooperation from all groups. A free nation has the right to look to
the leaders of business, of labor, and of agriculture to take the lead
in stimulating effort, not among other groups but within their own
groups. He knew the real secret of democracy for which he contemplated
that there is nothing mysterious about the foundations of a healthy and
strong democracy rather it is coherent in the midst of leading life
controlled and cleanly with full unity, faith and discipline.
It is worth
mentioning that this speech has influenced brain storming to stop war
rather than physical war. By delivering this speech, the president has
done his responsibility as a sole authority of peace through out the
world. He does not believe in War and as such he has emphasized the
importance of long time strategic plan through which real demacracy is
achieved systematically.
