Freedom from Fear

“People all over the world should be able to expect freedom of worship, freedom of speech, freedom from fear, and freedom from want.” This, a prompt derived from Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms Speech of 1941, makes you nod your head in agreement at first, but there a few loop holes that catch the eye upon further investigation.

In "The Four Freedoms" speech, President Roosevelt describes the historical context in which the U.S. finds itself one year before the attack on Pearl Harbor, but describing that context is not the point of his speech. His point is to promote the "four freedoms" but he does not actually get to outlining the "four freedoms" until the very end of the speech.
