Roosevelt And John F Kennedy Comparison

U.S. presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were men with very different personalities and their personalities in part contributed to the decisions that they made regarding their views on how the relationship between the United States and Latin America should be conducted. This presentation will compare and contrast the ways in which they dealt with Latin America.

Both Roosevelt’s “four freedoms” speech and Kennedy's inaugural address are about freedom. They are from different presidents at different times, however, Roosevelt’s speech is about war, fighting and how we got our freedom, whereas Kennedy’s speech is about after war and what people can do to help their country. The following paragraphs will show how the two speeches are similar and different.

The two speeches that were discussed in Germany about the berlin wall are similar but also different from each other. John f. Kennedy’s speech focuses on how he has never heard of a wall being put up to keep the people of Germany a divided continent. He also states that his people in his country take pride in being able to meet the people of West Berlin. To add on he also says “I know of no town, no city, that has been besieged for 18 years that still lives with the vitality and the force, and the hope and the determination of the city of West Berlin”. With that statement it lets people know that berlin is a strong and determined country. John demands freedom and in one of the lines from his speech he says “Freedom is indivisible, and

Historically, Jfk and Patrick Henry were persuasive speakers, and they inspired Americans with their beliefs and values. John F Kennedy with his “Inaugural Address” was speaking to the proud citizens of America, and Patrick Henry’s “speech to the Virginia convention” was focused toward the colonist and leaders of America. They talked about the beliefs, freedom, equality, and achievement and success. While there were similarities in the speeches, there are also differences.

John Kennedy and Ronald Reagan both use the theme of bringing all americans together and as for Franklin Roosevelt he uses a military theme throughout his address. In John Kennedy's speech he says, “ ... that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty.” (Kennedy). This is one of the many things Kennedy says that infers that he wants American Citizens to join together to fix any problem. Ronald Reagan says, They are, in short, “We the People.” This breed called Americans.” (Reagan). Ronald Reagan, like John Kennedy, wants Americans to join together and take any responsibility. In difference, Franklin Roosevelt uses a lot of military references like “... lines of attack…” and “”...retreat into advance…” (Roosevelt). Knowing this, the theme for Franklin Roosevelt's inculturation is military, it's like going to war against depression.

In Kennedy’s actual speech, citizens heard the clear evidence of their new president’s patriotism and the honesty and integrity which caused them all to be enthralled with him in the first place. Kennedy spoke with a sense of pride and honor that would make any American love to be part of this great nation. When he mentioned the founding fathers of the country, he did so in a way that clearly portrayed an emotion of awe which distinctly shows how inspired by them he truly was. “We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution,” is

Both Roosevelt’s “Four Freedoms” speech and Kennedy’s inaugural address were shared during a time in crisis, they were both used to give hope and assurance to the people and provide the idea of freedom. However, Roosevelt’s speech was moreso directed towards the Nation and its citizens as well as the idea of the four freedoms, whereas Kennedy’s speech was directed to the citizens as well as the rest of the world to show it’s alliance and hard work in keeping democracy in the Western hemisphere.

John F. Kennedy was strongly concerned about freedom for the country. As president he set out to redeem his campaign pledge to get America moving again, it wasn’t simply a vision for the united states it’s more of a world vision, global unity to be exact.

In The “Four Freedoms” Speech by President Franklin D.Roosevelt and “Inaugural Address” by President John F.Kennedy, Kennedy and Roosevelt addressed different audiences in their speech. They had different approaches of winning the public’s trust, so they can convey their message.

The first essential freedom that Roosevelt discussed was the right to freedom of speech. This freedom gave people the right to express themselves while omitting any caution, “The people may also challenge laws that they believe infringe upon their right to freedom of expression” (author? 64). This freedom crosses into gray matter where the internet is concerned because of how information on the Internet is monitored and removed if necessary. The freedom of speech also included the freedom of information, where citizens are allowed to seek knowledge through any platform with any limits (64).The second freedom was the freedom to worship. Citizens will be free

“Freedom must prevail” was JFK’s thesis for this speech. The three main arguments he used were liberty, peace and democratic freedoms. Democratic freedom was evident throughout his speech, such as his reference to the election and how it is a "celebration of freedom". Peace was represented when he addressed to a worldwide audience by his calls for all the nations to band together. “ let us begin anew... Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.” is an example of how JFK talked about liberty. Prevailing freedom was JFK’s main point of his speech.

Both Roosevelt’s “Four Freedoms” speech and Kennedy’s inaugural address have the same motive.Both Roosevelt and Kennedy want to fight for peace.However,the most significant difference between them is the different method of attaining peace.The devices they used to deliver their speech is different in various ways.One uses repetition whereas another uses different words to express emotions.

When Franklin Delano Roosevelt presented his inaugural address in 1941 the United States was in the midst of a great economic depression and although the United States had not yet joined the war, the world was at war. He made a serious speech trying to comfort and bolster the people in their times of hardship and despair. Freedom from fear was the fourth freedom that he spoke about, defining it as ”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.” He aimed to create world peace maintaining that wars were driven by fear and misunderstandings. His speech ou lined the

This is a comparison of John F. Kennedy's and Martin Luther King's speeches. First I will analyze them individually, then I will compare and contrast the two different speeches.

Both Roosevelt’s “Four Freedoms Speech” and Kennedy’s inaugural address expressess ideas about the wars going on during their time of presidency. However, Roosevelt’s speech implies we should fight for ourselves and stay strong as a nation by being united, whereas Kennedy’s speech states that we should stand strong for each other and do our best to help those in need. Roosevelt is more about keeping our country together, making sure that we can support ourselves in times of need. Kennedy is not about preserving our country because he believes we stand strong already, that we are able to withhold our power as a nation and help other countries or allies who will keep peace. The one real big difference is how we will protect and portray our country to others.
