excerpt 2: \my fellow citizens of the world: ask not what america will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.\ questions for excerpt 2: 1. style: how does kennedy expand his message beyond just the american people to include the global community? 2. impact: what effect might this call for global unity have on international relations during the cold war?

Explanation:

1. Kennedy uses the phrase "My fellow citizens of the world" to directly address the global community, expanding his message beyond Americans. This inclusive language shifts the focus from national - centric to global.
2. During the Cold War, a call for global unity could potentially have several effects. It might have increased diplomatic efforts as countries were encouraged to work together for a common cause (freedom of man). It could have also put pressure on both the US and the Soviet Union to show more cooperation, as the message was a moral appeal that transcended the ideological divide of the Cold War. However, it might have been met with skepticism from some countries that were deeply entrenched in the Cold War blocs, but overall, it could have been a step towards more dialogue and a more united front on certain human - rights related issues.

Answer:

1. By using the inclusive term “My fellow citizens of the world”.
2. It could have increased diplomatic efforts, put pressure on Cold War powers to cooperate, and potentially led to more dialogue on human - rights issues (while also facing skepticism from some Cold - War - aligned countries).
