Question

which two details, one from each excerpt, express similar attitudes about the struggle for freedom and justice abroad?
passage 1
adapted excerpt from woodrow wilson’s fourteen points
in the following excerpt from a speech delivered in 1918, president woodrow wilson introduces a plan for world peace following world war i
it will be our wish and purpose that the processes of peace, when they are begun, shall be absolutely open and that they shall involve and permit henceforth no secret understandings of any kind. the day of conquest and aggrandizement is gone by; so is also the day of secret covenants entered into in the interest of particular governments. . . .
all the peoples of the world are in effect partners in this interest, and for our own part we see very clearly that unless justice be done to others it will not be done to us. the program of the world’s peace, therefore, is our program; and that program, the only possible program, as we see it, is this:

1. open covenants of peace, openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private international understandings of any kind but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view. . . .

passage 2
except from franklin d. roosevelt’s four freedoms speech
on january 6, 1941, president franklin d. roosevelt spoke to congress about the potential effect that world war ii might have on the united states and its policies. his address has since become popularly known as the four freedoms speech.
just as our national policy in internal affairs has been based upon a decent respect for the rights and the dignity of all our fellow men within our gates, so our national policy in foreign affairs has been based on a decent respect for the rights and dignity of all nations, large and small. and the justice of morality must and will win in the end. our national policy is this:
first, by an impressive expression of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are committed to all-inclusive national defense.
second, by an impressive expression of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are committed to full support of all those resolute peoples, everywhere, who are resisting aggression and are thereby keeping war away from our hemisphere. by this support, we express our determination that the democratic cause shall prevail; and we strengthen the defense and the security of our own nation.
third, by an impressive expression of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are committed to the proposition that principles of morality and considerations for our own security will never permit us to acquiesce in a peace dictated by aggressors and sponsored by appeasers. we know that enduring peace cannot be bought at the cost of other people’s freedom. . . .

Explanation:

To determine the two details (one from each excerpt) with similar attitudes about the struggle for freedom and justice abroad, we analyze both passages:

• Passage 1 (Woodrow Wilson): Emphasizes open peace processes, no secret understandings, and that justice for others is necessary for one's own peace. It advocates for a just and open approach to international relations for global peace.
• Passage 2 (Franklin D. Roosevelt): Highlights a national policy based on respect for human dignity (domestically and in foreign affairs) and commitment to inclusive national defense, resisting aggression to uphold democratic values globally.

A similar attitude is seen in their focus on open, just international engagement (Wilson: open peace, no secrets; Roosevelt: respect for dignity, resisting aggression for global democratic cause) and linking domestic/international morality (Wilson: justice for others = peace for self; Roosevelt: domestic dignity principles extend to foreign policy).

For example, Wilson’s call for “no secret understandings” and open diplomacy aligns with Roosevelt’s “decent respect for rights of all nations” in foreign affairs. Both stress that justice/freedom abroad (open processes, resisting aggression) is tied to their own nation’s security and moral principles.

Answer:

• From Passage 1: "It will be our wish and purpose that the processes of peace, when they are begun, shall be absolutely open and that they shall involve and permit henceforth no secret understandings of any kind." (emphasizes open, just peace processes abroad).
• From Passage 2: "Just as our national policy in internal affairs has been based upon a decent respect for the rights and the dignity of all our fellow men within our gates, so our national policy in foreign affairs has been based on a decent respect for the rights and dignity of all nations, large and small." (extends domestic moral principles to foreign affairs, advocating justice/dignity abroad).
