In his 1941 State of the Union address, President Franklin D. Roosevelt outlined his vision for four essential human freedoms that should exist worldwide: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want through economic security, and freedom from fear through global disarmament. FDR believed these four freedoms could be achieved within the current generation through international cooperation.

U.S. Civil Rights Movement in Global Context
The document discusses the relationship between civil rights and human rights, noting that civil rights alone fail to encompass the full goals of the African American freedom struggle in the 20th century. It provides perspectives from civil rights leaders like King, Parks, Malcolm X, and others who sought to achieve broader human rights like freedom, equality, and self-determination on social, cultural, and economic levels beyond just desegregation and voting rights. Key figures and events from the global human rights movement of the time are also referenced.

USA and the Red Menace
This document discusses the policy of containment used by the United States to prevent the spread of communism during the Cold War. It describes containment as preventing communist expansion without actively spreading capitalism. The key strategies used included military interventions, alliances like NATO, an arms race, and brinkmanship. During this period, fears of communism led to increased domestic anti-communist actions like investigations by the FBI and HUAC that ruined lives and careers through suspicions and blacklisting. Senator Joseph McCarthy further exploited these fears through unsubstantiated accusations in his anti-communist witch hunts.
Political cartoon presentation
Political cartoons from the Cold War era aimed to humorously represent controversial political issues in a simplified visual format. They used caricatures and symbols to comment on topics like the space race, arms race, and democracy vs. communism between the US and USSR. The cartoons were typically found in newspaper editorials and comics pages. Understanding political cartoons involves examining the exaggerated visual focus, surrounding context clues, implied audience perspective, relevant world events, and symbolic representations of groups or ideas.
McCarthy's Downfall
This document defines the word "demagogue" as a political leader who appeals to prejudices rather than rational arguments. It then describes Joseph McCarthy as a demagogue. It summarizes the See It Now documentary series that publicly attacked McCarthy's techniques, and the Army-McCarthy hearings where McCarthy accused the Army of being infiltrated by Communists while the Army accused McCarthy aide Roy Cohn of improper conduct. It concludes with Joseph Welch challenging McCarthy during the hearings.
Second Red Scare
The document summarizes key events that helped trigger the Second Red Scare in the mid-20th century in the United States, including the Soviet Union developing atomic weapons in 1949, the rise of Communist control in China, laws targeting Communist organizations and sympathizers in the US, high-profile spy cases involving the Soviets, President Truman's investigations of government employees for loyalty, Senator Joseph McCarthy's baseless accusations of Communist infiltration and his rise of McCarthyism, the House Un-American Activities Committee investigations of Hollywood, and McCarthy's eventual decline in popularity from 1954 after attacking the US Army.
1950s + Cold War Fact Sheet
The Cold War Fact Sheet discusses several key events and policies from the Cold War era in the United States. It outlines how the GI Bill expanded education and housing after WWII. It also discusses the Interstate Highway Act increasing suburban growth and policies like the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan that aimed to contain the spread of communism abroad. Additionally, it addresses domestic fears over communism and nuclear attacks that were prevalent during this time period.
Hate speech
The document discusses perspectives on freedom of speech from an American viewpoint. It outlines key Supreme Court cases that have shaped the understanding of free speech in the US. It also discusses different viewpoints on where to draw the line on hate speech from philosophers and legal scholars. Additionally, it examines how international human rights bodies and regional systems have approached regulating hate speech that incites discrimination, hostility or violence. Finally, it provides elements that should be considered in differentiating between prohibited hate speech and other types of permitted speech.

Living With The Bomb
Living with the Bomb: America and the Cold War 1945-1960
1. After the US dropped atomic bombs on Japan, the Soviet Union feared the US would use nuclear weapons against them and began developing their own nuclear program. The US in turn feared the Soviets acquiring nuclear weapons.
2. Both sides engaged in dangerous brinksmanship, increasing their nuclear stockpiles until they had enough weapons to destroy the world many times over through mutually assured destruction.
3. The Cold War was fought through proxy wars like the Chinese Civil War and Korean War, as well as espionage as both sides spied on each other's nuclear programs and capabilities.
Athiban seminor presentation
Human rights are basic rights and freedoms that belong to all people. They include civil/political rights like freedom of expression and religion as well as economic/social rights like adequate living standards and education. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights established core human rights values and principles in 1948. Eleanor Roosevelt and Rene Cassin played instrumental roles in drafting the declaration, which remains highly influential today.
Drones
This document discusses the debate around the use of drones in warfare. It notes they can target enemies precisely from a distance, limiting military casualties, but they sometimes result in excessive civilian casualties. The document outlines arguments for and against their use, including that drones are effective but also raise issues around immorality, desensitization, sovereignty infringements, and hacking risks. It concludes their use in Pakistan may increase local resistance to the US.

This document discusses the debate around the use of drones in warfare. It notes they can target enemies precisely from a distance, limiting military casualties, but they sometimes cause excessive civilian casualties. Supporters argue drones are effective and protect military lives, while critics say their use is immoral, desensitizes operators, angers foreign populations, and may infringe on sovereignty. The outlook is drone strikes in Pakistan could increase resistance against the US as domestic drone use raises privacy concerns.
Fact, opinion, and bias
This document discusses the difference between facts and opinions. Facts can be proven, while opinions represent someone's feelings or beliefs. Bias and opinions are often not clearly stated but must be detected based on language used, information included or omitted. The document provides examples of McCarthyism and the House Un-American Activities Committee, labeling some statements as facts and others as opinions.
Unit 5 lesson 4 the cold war at home
During the Cold War, fear of communism spreading to the United States led to a period known as the Red Scare. President Truman and Congress took actions to investigate and crack down on suspected communist activities and influences within the country. This included the House Un-American Activities Committee holding hearings to investigate areas of society for communist ties. Figures like Alger Hiss and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were prosecuted for communist espionage. Senator Joseph McCarthy further exacerbated tensions by aggressively accusing many Americans of being communist sympathizers without proof, in what became known as McCarthyism. His actions were eventually discredited through televised hearings, helping to ease the Red Scare period in the United States.
The Liberal International Order
I. The liberal international order emerged after World War 2 to promote freedom, security, and prosperity globally. Key institutions included the UN, NATO, and Bretton Woods.
II. It was built on principles of democracy, rule of law, and human rights. Statistical data shows it has correlated with reduced poverty, increased life expectancy, and expanded globalization.
III. However, the order is evolving as new powers rise and domestic politics change. Maintaining it will require continued cooperation between states around common principles and adaptation to new realities.
Tengowski - I-4 election of 1948
Truman's popularity sharply declined after becoming president in 1945, falling from 87% to 32% by 1946. In the 1946 midterm elections, Republicans gained control of both houses of Congress. Truman ran for re-election in 1948 against Republican Thomas Dewey and two third party candidates. Early polls showed Dewey leading, but Truman campaigned aggressively across the country. On election day, Truman defeated Dewey in an upset victory, becoming the first president to be elected after succeeding to the office upon the death of his predecessor.
The cold war 1945 1990
The Cold War was a decades-long ideological and geopolitical struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union that began following World War II. Key events that deepened tensions included Stalin reneging on allowing free elections in Eastern Europe, the Berlin Blockade, McCarthyism in the US, and the space race highlighted by the launch of Sputnik. Major crises like the Cuban Missile Crisis brought the two superpowers to the brink of nuclear war. Throughout the Cold War both sides sought to spread their influence and contain the other through military alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact as well as policies like containment and détente.
Binary Discourse in U.S. Presidential Speeches from FDR to Bush II
The contemporary study of American Presidential rhetoric is of great significance. Politics is very largely the use of language. Presidential speech and action increasingly reflect the opinion that speaking is governing. In fact, the power of the presidency depends on its ability to persuade. The application of power is often legitimized through rhetorical persuasion; and, in the case of American Presidents, such power, and its associated rhetoric, becomes the fulcrum upon which many global issues turn
Ike day1
Dwight D. Eisenhower served as president from 1953 to 1961. He had a military career leading up to the presidency, serving as Supreme Commander of Allied forces in Europe during World War 2 and later as Supreme Commander of NATO. Eisenhower also had health issues during his presidency including smoking heavily earlier in life, Crohn's disease, and a stroke in 1957. He enjoyed golf and spent significant time on the golf course while president.

HUAC
The document summarizes the Hollywood Blacklist period in the 1940s-1950s when the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) investigated Hollywood for alleged communist influence. It describes how 10 people who refused to cooperate with HUAC's questioning became known as the Hollywood Ten and were imprisoned and blacklisted. It then provides biographies of several of the Hollywood Ten, including their careers and how they were impacted by being blacklisted.
A Realistic Foreign Policy for Voters
This document discusses developing a realistic foreign policy approach that balances professional expertise with public opinion. It explores tensions between policymaking and diplomatic negotiation, and balancing national interests with moral principles. The document examines different foreign policy strategies through historical examples and perspectives from international relations scholars. It concludes that foreign policy professionals should inform public debates to develop policies aligned with long-term national interests, while still respecting democratic processes of public opinion.
15 part 2
The Red Scare period from 1947-1957 led to widespread fear in the US of communist takeover. The House of Un-American Activities Committee investigated thousands of Americans, accusing many of being communists through "loyalty tests". Senator Joseph McCarthy furthered these anti-communist efforts, though eventually lost credibility by accusing the wrong targets. During this time, Hollywood faced blacklists and the Rosenbergs were executed for espionage. Americans lived in fear of nuclear attack from the USSR and radiation fallout. The launch of Sputnik heightened these fears and led the US to create NASA and join the Space Race.
Tengowski - Vii 3 global war on terror
The document outlines key events and policies relating to the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003. It discusses the Bush Doctrine of preemptive self-defense, the initial success of the invasions in removing the Taliban and Saddam Hussein, and later challenges such as an insurgency in Iraq. Reasons given for invading Iraq included alleged WMD programs and ties to al-Qaeda, though no evidence was found to support these claims.
Civil war overview
The document provides an overview of the American Civil War, comparing the strengths and weaknesses of the North and South. It then summarizes the key events and battles of the war, including Gettysburg which was a turning point. Finally, it discusses the Union's shift to total war under generals Grant, Sherman and Sheridan, which helped lead to the Confederacy's defeat and Lee's surrender, ending the Civil War.
French and Indian War: Conflicting interests Britain and colonies
French and Indian War: Conflicting interests Britain and coloniesIndiana Council for the Social Studies
The document summarizes the conflicting economic interests between Britain and the British colonies in America in the late 18th century. The British merchants prioritized profits for Britain, often at the expense of the colonists. Meanwhile, the colonists felt they bore more risks and costs than Britons but received fewer protections and saw the profits go to Britain. These diverging interests strained the relationship between Britain and the colonies but both still saw France as a common enemy.Legacy of world war ii
World War II marked the end of European nations as world powers and the slow demise of colonial empires. The global economy shifted from being centered around the British pound to the American dollar as the United States emerged as the sole major industrialized power left standing after the war. Major conflicts between states have been avoided since World War II.
French and Indian War: Colonists are unhappy with Britain
The English colonists in British North America have become unhappy with Britain. They have been supplying Britain with war materials for many years but now feel abused by new British policies. The colonists believe that British laws like the Navigation Acts are unfair and restrict colonial trade. Additionally, they feel threatened by being surrounded by enemies like French and Native American territories. The colonists are beginning to question whether Britain is properly protecting its North American colonies.
Compass rose lesson
The document discusses identifying and marking the cardinal direction of North. It asks questions about the four cardinal directions and how to determine which direction is North in the classroom. It provides instructions on using a phone compass app or taping an arrow on the floor to mark North. It also demonstrates how a compass rose can be drawn on a map to indicate North, South, East, and West.
Creation of republican party
The document discusses the political environment in the United States from 1830 to 1854 regarding the Democratic and Whig parties and the issue of slavery. It outlines the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854 which repealed the Missouri Compromise, sparking outrage in the North and leading northern members to leave the Democratic party. This created an opening for a new Republican party comprised of free soilers, abolitionists, and business Whigs opposed to the expansion of slavery.

FDR Four Freedoms
Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his 1941 State of the Union address discussing America's role in World War 2 and outlining his vision of four essential human freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. He asked Congress to provide military aid to countries fighting against aggression and help America prepare its own defense, while maintaining civil liberties and economic security for citizens. Roosevelt's four freedoms later inspired Norman Rockwell's paintings and became a guiding principle of the Atlantic Charter between the US and UK on international cooperation after the war.
The Four Freedoms
Norman Rockwell created a series of paintings in 1943 called The Four Freedoms based on a speech by Franklin D. Roosevelt outlining four essential human freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. Roosevelt's speech defined these freedoms as the ability to express oneself, practice one's religion, achieve economic security, and live without the threat of violence anywhere in the world.

The four Freedoms that former President Roosevelt spoke are the Freedom of speech, Freedom of worship, Freedom from want and Freedom from fear. His speech was delivered 11 months before the battle of Pearl Harbor started. “To Roosevelt, the four freedoms expressed deeply held American values worthy of being spread worldwide” (Foner, 2017). Freedom of Speech was the liberty to express your thoughts. Freedom of worship was the liberty to practice any religion. Former President Roosevelt refereed to Freedom from want as the eradication of barriers toward international trade. Subsequently, it became a human right that entails the right of food, shelter and clothing for people. Freedom from fear, which stayed that no nation should engage in violence. These four freedoms motivated other movements that set a precedent. In 1942 The Office of War Information (OWI) was created. This Organization, which was formed to encourage public opinion, was managed by Democrats who fear that “Americans had only a vague understanding of the war purposes and that the populace seemed more fervently committed to paying back the Japanese for their attack on Pearl Harbor than riding the world of Fascism. (Foner, 2017). Also, these four movements encourages women to enter the work force filling out the positions that were empty as men left to war. This was an important period for women to established a precedent by letting the world know that women are capable of much more than to give birth and cook. By 1944 “women made more than one-third of the civilian labor force, and 350,000 served in auxiliary military units”. (Foner, 2017).

Second Reply to Christi
President Roosevelt spoke of the four freedoms as freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear all envisioned for a future world. These freedoms were very important to Roosevelt and coined them the “essential human freedoms” and wanted them for every American and soon became his creed. Despite what Roosevelt envisioned for the world, many Americans had a different vision and during World War II, the economy was greatly affected due to the era and end of the Depression. Thousands of women were entering the workforce, labor was increasing, immigrants were moving from place to place and some found home in the military. The main focus of the four freedoms was to establish unity within the country but some Americans were upset of the New Deal and others were looking forward to a new democracy. The four freedoms gave women the power to be involved in the workforce and the modern civil rights movement was initiated, yet some despised this movement. But, the four freedoms also shed more light into the “traditional” lifestyle of the man working and the woman taki ...
Liberty and democracy from Reader's Digest, April 2005
The document discusses different perspectives on the relationship between liberty and democracy. It notes that while democracy is generally defined as a system of government where citizens vote on leaders, liberty refers to basic human freedoms. Some theorists like Kant see democracy and liberty as interrelated in that democratic nations respect individual liberties and are less likely to go to war. However, others argue that most countries practice "illiberal democracy" where elections exist but freedoms are restricted. The document concludes that including both democratic elections and liberty is ideal, and that increasing civil and political liberties is important for achieving true liberal democracy and greater peace.
Patriotism in Children
This document discusses the concepts of patriotism, humanism, and nationalism and their relationship to children's education in India. It argues that true patriotism is best allied with humanism, which emphasizes individual liberty, equality, and dignity. Nationalism, when not tied to humanism, can threaten individual rights and promote intolerance. The document examines how humanism and patriotism influenced India's independence movement but warns that some religious nationalistic groups now promote intolerance. It stresses the importance of developing humanist patriotism in children to promote national unity and harmony in India's diverse society.

Binary Discourse in U.S. Presidential Speeches from FDR to Bush
II
Dr. Wassim Daghrir,
The University of Sousse, Tunisia
I. Introduction
The contemporary study of American Presidential rhetoric is of great significance. Politics is very largely the
use of language. Presidential speech and action increasingly reflect the opinion that speaking is governing. In
fact, the power of the presidency depends on its ability to persuade. The application of power is often
legitimized through rhetorical persuasion; and, in the case of American Presidents, such power, and its
associated rhetoric, becomes the fulcrum upon which many global issues turn.
Manichaeism: a Definition
The term Manichean refers in its most literal sense to a religion founded in the third century by the
Persian prophet Manes. The movement attracted large numbers of followers, who were drawn to its simplicity
and moral clarity. Its central guideline was that the entire world could be plainly divided into two opposing
spheres –God and Satan in the world of the eternal, and a corresponding dualistic battle of Good and Evil
playing out on Earth. World events were all driven by, were all the product of, an ongoing, endless conflict
between the forces of Good and the forces of Evil. One‘s moral duty was to maintain adherence to God‘s will by
siding with Good and battling against the forces of Evil.
II. Rhetorical Devices and Manipulations
At the heart of the American presidential discourse exists a coherent worldview, one several presidents
have applied with remarkable consistency and uncompromising conviction. This view holds that the global
arena can be understood as a conflict between the forces of Good and Evil, and that America is ―called upon‖ to
defend the former from the latter. By definition, this premise requires the identification of Evil, which is the
enemy –an enemy that is pure in its Evil and that, by its very nature, cannot be engaged, offered compromises,
negotiated with, understood, managed, contained, or ignored. It can only be hated, attacked, and destroyed. One
way of achieving this is by using ‗legitimizing language‘ -language that will positively represent the favored
worldview or the approved approach to global phenomenon as well as those who support this view or approach.
The use of legitimizing language is usually accompanied by the use of its counterpart, ‗delegitimizing language‘
-language which negatively depicts the opposing worldview or approach as well as those who hold these
different opinions and values. Therefore, binary conceptualizations frequently take on the form of a polarization
between a legitimized insider group (‗us‘) and a delegitimized outsider group (‗them.

Task 6.8 Ppt World War Ii
President Roosevelt delivered a historic speech in 1941 known as the "Four Freedoms" speech, outlining a vision of extending American ideals of liberty around the world. The speech inspired Norman Rockwell to create a series of paintings illustrating the four freedoms, which were eventually widely circulated in The Saturday Evening Post magazine and used to promote war bond sales. Allied leaders Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin met at conferences including Cairo, Tehran, and Yalta during World War II to coordinate strategy, plan for postwar Europe and Asia, and lay the groundwork for the United Nations.
Jihad against free speech
This document discusses the importance of free speech and how it is under threat. It notes that free speech is protected by the First Amendment in the US but is illegal in many other parts of the world. While the term "jihad" literally means struggle, it is often associated with terrorism and seen as an attack on Western freedoms and rights. The author asserts that censorship of free speech amounts to a "stealth jihad" and that free speech is under threat from the spread of certain interpretations of Islamic ideology. The document encourages activism to promote free speech and a more conscious, loving world.
Bowen, anthropology today, universal concept of indigenous rights.
This document discusses the concept of "indigenous peoples' rights" and questions whether there should be a universal definition. It notes that while the concept originated based on the situations of Native Americans and Aboriginal Australians, applying it globally has proven difficult. In some parts of Asia and Africa, all populations have long-standing ties to the land, making the concept unclear. The document examines how the definition has been stretched in international agreements and debates whether a universal concept of indigenous rights is appropriate or if local, culturally specific concepts are needed.

Qhta iraq war_presentation
The document discusses the motivations behind the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and whether it was in the national interest. It argues that in the post-9/11 context, the neoconservative faction in Washington convinced the public and Congress that invading Iraq was necessary for national security due to perceived threats from Iraqi WMD programs and Iraq's potential to disrupt US oil interests in the Middle East. This helped justify implementing neoconservative foreign policy goals of preemptive war and regime change in Iraq.
Jfk presentation
The document provides background context on John F. Kennedy's 1961 inaugural speech, including the historical events and figures that influenced it. Kennedy drew upon speeches from Winston Churchill, FDR, and Abraham Lincoln in crafting his address. He aimed to unite and inspire Americans to meet the challenges of the Cold War, civil rights movement, and Vietnam War. The speech utilized rhetorical devices like alliteration, repetition, personification, and antithesis to simplify complex issues and frame them as clear choices.
THE DIGNITY OF MAN, An Islamic Perspective.pdf
This document provides background information on the author Dr. Mohammad Hashim Kamali and his book "The Dignity of Man: An Islamic Perspective". It discusses the origins and development of the concept of human rights after World War II, including the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. It notes that while the Declaration was an important milestone, there was debate around its philosophical underpinnings and cultural influences being predominantly Western. Some Asian and Muslim-majority countries raised objections or concerns that cultural and religious contexts were not fully considered. The document provides this context and history to frame Kamali's examination of human dignity and rights from an Islamic perspective.
