    F. D. Roosevelt, Norman Rockwell & the Four Freedoms (1943)

    F. D. Roosevelt, Norman Rockwell & the Four Freedoms (1943) Excerpt from Roosevelt’s January 16, 1941 speech before the U.S. Congress: “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. 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. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb. To that new order we oppose the greater conception -- the moral order. A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear. Since the beginning of our American history, we have been engaged in change -- in a perpetual peaceful revolution -- a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing conditions -- without the concentration camp or the quick-lime in the ditch.

  • Freedom from Fear? the Oxford American

    Freedom from Fear? the Oxford American

    Staddon, J. (1996) Freedom from fear? The Oxford American. Spring, pp. 103-106. Freedom from Fear? How belief in a pain-free utopia has discredited punishment and de-civilized society. by John Staddon Successful political slogans are usually phony. They succeed because they promise gain without pain, the reconcil- ing of the irreconcilable and win-win in a zero-sum world. Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s “four freedoms” are still remembered after two generations. Freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear all sound very fine, but this slogan bears scrutiny no better than others. Freedom of speech and religion are reasonable enough, perhaps. But freedom from want is problematic: Who shall define ‘want’? When does ‘want’ or ‘need’ turn into ‘wish’ and ‘desire’? And whose freedom to spend his own money shall be abridged to satisfy the presumed needs of others? But most pernicious of all is “freedom from fear,” because it seems self-evident. Punishment and the Creed of Mental Health Yet the idea that mankind could ever be free of fear is as odd as it is recent. The ancients knew the world as full of evil spirits. Sin and retribution are at the root of Judaeo-Christianity. Modern biology sees evolution as fre- quently, if not invariably, “red in tooth and claw.” But ever since Freud, a new creed, the creed of psychotherapy, has offered the prospect of mental perfection, of life not just free of evil but innocent even of the concept. The vari- eties of professional psychology and psychiatry from psychoanalysis to behaviorism, while they have argued about everything else, agree that fear can and should be banished.

The project was managed by Prisca, and by Paul Coppin, Head of the Legal Desk of Reporters Without Borders. The Thomson Reuters Foundation and Reporters Without Borders are grateful to the international law firm, Paul Hastings LLP and the 70 lawyers from its various offices who researched and drafted this Handbook on a pro bono basis. Pierre Kirch, a litigation partner in the Paris and Brussels offices, headed the Paul Hastings team. Pierre benefited from advice and assistance - as the project began and then developed over a fifteen-month period - from the firm’s Global Pro Bono management team in Los Angeles: Jamie Broder and Tollie Besson (Partners) and Bronwen Young. Paul Hastings lawyers contributed more than 2,500 pro bono hours to the project. These contributors are acknowledged below and at the end of the Handbook. Amongst them, several assumed special roles as chief researchers/drafters of the five sections – involving many, many hours of work on researching and drafting by each of them individually.

    Teaching the New York State History Standards with the Work of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt

    Teaching the New York State History Standards with the work of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Franklin D. Roosevelt ranks among the greatest presidents in American history. Survey after survey of prominent historians show him listed in the company of Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln. In his term as president he guided the nation through two of the greatest challenges of the twentieth century, the Great Depression and World War II. His efforts laid the foundation for economic prosperity in the United States and international cooperation around the world for years to come. Eleanor Roosevelt was, without doubt, one of the most compelling personalities of the twentieth century. Her life served as an example of tireless devotion and service to others both in the United States and around the world. The New York State Department of Education has adopted five Social Studies Standards, these are: History of the United States and New York; World History; Geography; Economics; and Civics, Citizenship, and Government. It should come as no surprise that there were events in the lives of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt that touched on each of the themes set forth in the standards. Below, each standard has been matched to an event and document making an interesting and informative starting point for developing a case study. I. Franklin D. Roosevelt Standard One: History of the United States and New York Franklin Roosevelt believed in serving his community. He started his political career as a State Senator and rose to become the Governor of New York State before setting off for Washington to serve as our 32nd President.

    Is Over – Now What? Restoring the Four Freedoms As a Foundation for Peace and Security

    The “War on Terror” Is Over – Now What? Restoring the Four Freedoms as a Foundation for Peace and Security Mark R. Shulman* As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our founding fathers, faced with perils that we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience’s sake. And so, to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and we are ready to lead once more. – Barack H. Obama Inaugural Address, Jan. 20, 20091 The so-called “war on terror” has ended.2 By the end of his first week in office, President Barack H. Obama had begun the process of dismantling some of the most notorious “wartime” measures.3 A few weeks before, recently reappointed Secretary of Defense Robert M.

    Four Freedoms

    1 Franklin Delano Roosevelt The State of the Union Address to Congress Delivered January 6, 1941 Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Seventy-seventh Congress: I address you, the Members of the Seventy-seventh Congress, at a moment unprecedented in the history of the Union. I use the word “unprecedented,” because at no previous time has American security been as seriously threatened from without as it is today. Since the permanent formation of our Government under the Constitution, in 1789, most of the periods of crisis in our history have related to our domestic affairs. Fortunately, only one of these—the four-year War Between the States—ever threatened our national unity. Today, thank God, one hundred and thirty million Americans, in forty-eight States, have forgotten points of the compass in our national unity. It is true that prior to 1914 the United States often had been disturbed by events in other Continents. We had even engaged in two wars with European nations and in a number of undeclared wars in the West Indies, in the Mediterranean and in the Pacific for the maintenance of American rights and for the principles of peaceful commerce. But in no case had a serious threat been raised against our national safety or our continued independence. What I seek to convey is the historic truth that the United States as a nation has at all times maintained clear, definite opposition, to any attempt to lock us in behind an ancient Chinese wall while the procession of civilization went past. Today, thinking of our children and of their children, we oppose enforced isolation for ourselves or for any other part of the Americas.
