6. The president’s dream
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.

7. Thoughts to Consider
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.
The nation's hands must not be tied when the nation's life is in danger.

8. Task One
Look at Roosevelt’s dream and the quotes from his speech on the “Thoughts to Consider” slide.
What is he asking for Americans to support?
What is his feeling about those who do not support what he is asking?
When he lists his dreams, why is he not dreaming only for America? Why does he encompass the entire world? What role does he see America playing on the world stage?

9. Task one Answer each of those questions in a well developed paragraph.
Use quotes from his speech to back up your thoughts.

10. Task two Become a modern Rockwell.
Chose one of the freedoms and express it in one of the following forms:
A color collage of images from the news.
A water color or oil painting
A small sculpture
A diorama or other model.
