On January 6th 1941,
during World War 2, US
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt conveyed 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 world in respect of
politics, war, administration and technology as a leading strength in the
globalizes modern world.
I chose this speech, because, he focused some important directions in his
speech indicating that America
is the symbol of real democratic institution with which all chains of captivity
can be possible to be broken. I have been impressed by going through his speech
where the realism of free nation enjoying sound body and sound mind has been
vividly contemplated. He disliked bitterness and conspiracy; rather he put
forth the ideal strategy of freedom perpetually. I think Rudyard Kipling has
really understood the perpetual meaning of free nation.
‘Forgiveness free of evil done
And love to all men neath the sun’
It is important in the sense that in this speech, he proclaimed that four
freedoms are inevitable to a flourishing democracy. This milestones in the form
of real democracy, for the people, by the people & of the people are
freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom of want and freedom of fear. He
emphasized to such milestones of freedom for the people in America
which are being possible after the defeat of Hitler and the landslide victory
of America.
I have also been impressed when he says about the reality 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. This speech is a
milestone to practice democracy for those who are really sincere to establish
the right of the social life of the community who have voting right to select a
level of new era in respect of progress and
prosperity to retaliate real life
situation.
