JFK speech TA response
I can't agree more about how John F. Kennedy's speech still applies today. Perhaps it is because he discusses the moral obligations of politics rather than current specific issues. A perfect example of this is when JFK states "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty". This not only strikes the audience on an emotional chord, as people feel obligated to help one another, but also logic because it is the bottom line, most straight-forward approach to any issue at any time. This universal approach to solutions could be a reason why this speech is so widely recognized.
