President Roosevelt did not have it
easy when running for president. He was running for elections right after the
great depression. President Roosevelt was able to provide good things for American
citizens that were stuck in poverty he one said “To these unfortunate citizens
aid must be extended by governments, not as a matter of charity but as a matter
of social duty…[No one should go] unfed, unclothes, or unsheltered.” With Roosevelt
wanted to help the poor he set up and aid relief called TERA which he was given
the respect of the needy people of New York and called the attention of
politics all of the nation. Roosevelt came into office when America needed it
the most with unemployment being at 25% and people starving and homeless he was
able to grasp the votes of Americans not only by his inaugural speech but
because of his great actions to help those most in need.

Franklin Roosevelt addressed logos
when dealing with employment he knew that Americans were struggling with
finding employment and found ideas to make jobs for the American people such as
having them work on the building of rail roads he knew he had to create jobs
that they were not going to forum themselves after having such a financial hit
on the nation. FDR used pathos when finding a way to explain to the struggling
Americans that it was possible and that it would not end their worlds that it
was just a bump in the road and that the egger workers would again find work
again. Ethos was addressed by telling the American citizens that they needed a
new light and person in the office that could understand what changes needed to
be made for the nation all though Roosevelt could not relate to the poor people
of America because he grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth he was still
able to show the people that he cared for their wellbeing and was going to work
very hard to turn the economy around.

is the historical significance/relevance of this document?
is the historical significance/relevance of this document?
The historical significance of this
document is that America continues to have the same issues that it had when
President Roosevelt was in office. Since 9/11 America has continued down a path
of destruction from the housing market going into major financial issues and
people losing their homes, the unemployment rate is high, stock market has been
down, economy troubles, gas been overpriced. I think that some Americans are
starting to wonder if we will ever been able to make it out of this and in a
lot of ways it’s another depression. I have 4 family members that have been out
of work for over 2 years and even though I feel blessed to have a job I have
not received a much needed raise in 3 years, every American is struggling even
the ones employed. President Obama was elected into office promising a lot of
the same things as Roosevelt did but it has left the American people wondering
when the change is really going to come. Roosevelt made changes slowly but
Obama has tried to make it a fast change and the nation is going to need time
to correct this badly effected economy.

The article was convincing
Roosevelt was caring to the poor people of America even though he could have focused
on the rich people because they were of the same class as he was but he did
not. I feel that Roosevelt found it empowering to know that he could provide
relief aids and help the poor as much as possible. He thought of jobs makes me
wonder why our current President has not thought of ways to improve out unemployment
rates by creating jobs for Americans instead we tend to ship all of the jobs we
could have overseas. To me Roosevelt was a good president he had great
compassion for all American people and did what he could to make everyone’s
lives better.

I like the comparison you made between Franklin Roosevelt and Barack Obama. Roosevelt lead the nation during one of it's toughest times. Roosevelt said what he meant and meant what he said, especially in this address. He took action, though it may have been slow, to ensure change in the nation, specifically in the economy. As for Obama, I think he had great intentions, but as you said, I think many Americans were waiting for change that has yet to take place.
ReplyDeleteIn reading Roosevelt's Inaugural Address, I am struck by his honesty and his down-to-earth approach to the nation's crisis. He addresses the people calmly, reminding them that the concern is "only material things," and that our nation is great and strong and will endure. I admire his desire to encourage the people of America to remember the important things in life and the need to reach out to the people around us, specifically in the crisis, but also in general. It is good to be reminded that though times are hard, it is not the end of the world. Roosevelt encourages and inspires the nation to perservere and to unite for the duration of the crisis but more for the future of our nation.
You answer to question two and four seems to strike me. It so important for the president in time struggle and dire need to reassure the citizens of the country that he is doing the very best in his power to aid the country by providing jobs, shelters for homeless, etc. You in question for that FDR was doing the same thing that Obama is trying to do today, because the situations are similar, but FDR was more successful at because he gave the country time to heal and recover, while Obama may be rushing into the healing process to quickly and could possibly create greater issues because of it.
ReplyDeleteThe way that FDR spoke to the people of America at the time was reassuring. For the people of the country to know that they are being taken care of in the best way possible by their president, in my opinion earn them a lot of respect in the publics eye.
