Has the freedom of fear changed over time? IN years upon years people change, as well as nations. Do our ideals and core values fall into those same circumstances and change over the years aswell? In “The Four Freedoms” speech, Roosevelt says “The need of the moment is that our actions and our policy should be devoted primarily–almost exclusively–to meeting this foreign peril. For all our domestic problems are now a part of the great emergency. Just as our national policy in internal affairs has been based upon a decent respect for the rights and the dignity of all of our fellow men within our gates, so our national policy in foreign affairs has been based on a decent respect for the rights and the dignity of all nations, large and small. And the justice of morality must and will win in the end.” He talks about staying strong against foreign peril. He also states how the foreign affairs are met to a standard to be respectful to the rights of people of every nation no matter how large or small. In Barack Obamas speech he has a similar belief in which we should be able to live not being afraid. In the speech Obama says “We believe that our citizens should be able to live free from fear. So, like generations before us, we stand united in the defense of our countries and against those who would terrorize our people, or endanger the globe with the world's most dangerous weapons.” Barack Obama also believes that most importantly we should have our allies strong with us to defend our countries from foreign evils. In both Roosevelt’s and Obama’s speech they both look out for the people and have the same idea of freedom of fear. Not only do they care about their own time but also they care for the future and ensure that we are protected from fear. Our core values and ideals no matter the president remain true and will never slip through cracks whenever things get rough.
