Question

(paragraph 1)
in the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. 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 means economic understandings that will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants. the fourth is freedom from fear, which means a worldwide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a manner that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor.
