Few people know, but the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is largely based on the speeches of the 32nd President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Franklin D. Roosevelt "Four Freedoms" Speech - January 6, 1941
Transcription:
In times like these it is immature--and incidentally untrue--for anybody to brag that an unprepared America, single-handed, and with one hand tied behind its back, can hold off the whole world.
Such a peace would bring no security for us or for our neighbors. "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
As a nation we may take pride in the fact that we are soft-hearted; but we cannot afford to be soft-headed.
I am not satisfied with the progress thus far made. The men in charge of the program represent the best in training, in ability, and in patriotism. THEY are not satisfied with the progress thus far made. None of us will be satisfied until the job is done.
I also ask this Congress for authority and for funds sufficient to manufacture additional munitions and war supplies of many kinds, to be turned over to those nations which are now in actual war with aggressor nations.
They do not need manpower, but they do need billions of dollar's worth of the weapons of defense.
I do not recommend that we make them a loan of dollars with which to pay for these weapons--a loan to be repaid in dollars.
For what we send abroad we shall be repaid... repaid within a reasonable time following the close of hostilities, repaid in similar materials, or, at our option in other goods of many kinds which they can produce and which we need.
In fulfillment of this purpose we will not be intimidated by the threats of dictators that they will regard as a breach of international law or as an act of war our aid to the democracies which dare to resist their aggression. Such aid... such aid is not an act of war, even if a dictator should unilaterally proclaim it so to be.
And when the dictators, IF the dictators, are ready to make war upon us, they will not wait for an act of war on our part. They did not wait for Norway or Belgium or the Netherlands to commit an act of war.
I have called for personal sacrifice. And I am assured of the willingness of almost all Americans to respond to that call.
A part of the sacrifice means the payment of more money in taxes. In my Budget message I will recommend that a greater portion of this great defense program be paid for from taxation than we are paying for today. No person should try, or be allowed, to get rich out of the program.
The first is freedom of speech and expression everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want--which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear--which, translated into world terms, means 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--anywhere in the world.
This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women; and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights and keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose.
To that high concept there can be no end save victory.
Despite the bad sound quality, this is an example of EXCELLENT ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION, which we may call MODEL ENGLISH.
The "o" of "for" is clearly differentiated from the "o" of "world", the "a" of "hands" is clearly differentiated from the "e" of "heads", the "a" of "far" is CLEARLY differentiated from the "o" of "job" and so on, which is essential for a good understanding.
There are some popular singers who sing in a very clear English, for instance, the late Luther Vandross, Johnny Mathis, and Adele.

Eu sempre publicarei todo tipo de opinião e ponto de vista. que NÃO INFRINJAM AS LEIS DO MUNDO, nem as leis da Internet.
Não são toleradas ofensas a nenhuma das pessoas que comentam.
Links para blogs e sites que falem de saúde mental são bem vindos, desde que não sejam sites criados para vender psicotrópicos.

Portanto, se houver algo a ser corrigido aqui, publique nos comentários, mas COM PROVAS, como eu faço.
Algumas pessoas, ao tomar medicações psiquiátricas ou drogas ilícitas, não sofrem efeitos adversos significativos (como vemos algumas pessoas que fumam a vida toda e morrem de velhice.) Portanto verei como normal algumas pessoas dizerem que nunca sentiram nenhum efeito colateral ao tomar determinado psicotrópico.
Mas qualquer indivíduo que escrever algo contra as informações técnicas mostradas aqui deve PROVAR IMEDIATAMENTE na mesma mensagem, do contrário terei que deletar.
Se quiser me contatar pode ser através de um comentário.
This web site is mostly about human rights, health, music and curious videos from Youtube. If you have any of these your contribution is most welcome.
Links to web sites that sell MEDICATION ARE UNWELCOME.
But if your site is interesting and useful just submit the address, WITHOUT ANY EXTRA ELECTRONIC LANGUAGE, such as HTML or the like. Example, http://pacientepsiquiatrico.com is OK, is accepted. But [url="http://pacientepsiquiatrico.com"] would be considered spam, because of the extra electronic language [url. I'll check it out and link to it if I approve it. Thank you
