A History lesson.

I miss her :( My hot momma.

Gosh, this is killing. Doing editing for the team mates for my History assignment just ain't fun at all :(

The first Inaugural speech of Woodrow Wilson.

Woodrow Wilson actually created the “First Inaugural Address” in 1913 after the fall of Republican’s reign over United States of America year 1912 election. His speech was intended for Democrats, including himself as a president, who had gain the power of ruling in 1912 and for people of United States of America. It was written to urge the government and the people not to overlook their responsibilities to the country after their victory over republican. Government and the people are supposed to work together as one united body to build a better country for the people.

The Woodrow Wilson speech emphasized on the total completion of change of government; together with the senate; a whole and total process of a political tsunami in the government of the US of that time. The change was very significant and it was quite a memorable one as it was pretty obvious a statement that many people although they were having doubts perhaps and questions running through their minds about the whole new change on government, they did look forward to a new change in the system and that’s why the synchronized overall vote for the whole system including the government and senate to become a Democratic party happened.


In the speech, Mr President mentioned that there were a lot of underlying issues that have not been exposed. The main questions that were being thrown around in the arena of political change were, simply: What does the change mean?? What does it bring about and signify?? In the first paragraph, the speaker said that he would be interpreting the unknown and the questions running through the minds of the public.
The topics of inception of the new are brought forth and put on the roulette table. The new just seems to have infused into the system and become more acceptable and the old has removed their masks and become unrecognizable under the hood. The ugly side of the old systems has come out and reared their ugly behinds.

Also discussed are the fresh new ideas seeping through, penetrating the government and the senate systems bit by bit. They are making a refreshing positive wind of change in the arena. The battlefield of the new versus the old and trying to boot out every ounce of bad dust is happening through inception in the political markets. In our opinion, doubts have to be cancelled out and no leeway for bullets to be fired through loopholes should be evident.

The squandering of riches and resources were brought up. Much of the good crop had been spoilt by either negative influence or corrosion. When people wanted change in their lives, it meant that they were ready to get out of their comfort zones and take a leap of faith. The rampant corruption caused the people to want a significant and clean change in the government. The people already began putting the spectrum of politics under microscopic watch. Politicians had become too pompous, some even using up the money from taxes and for other selfish means. So a whole new cleansing in the system occurred.

Woodrow Wilson had delivered a powerful and meaningful speech. We agree hats down with his speech. He understood that in order for a country to keep developing, first, the country must have a strong economy. In his speech, he stressed that the country should deal with the current economy and strengthen it by any means necessary with proper planning.

However, without science, a country will not experience any major development. The use of science is also necessary other than economy, as science plays a major role in developing a country. Science makes work more efficient, saves lives, etc. There is always two side to a coin, science might appear as a happy ending for the country, but it can also become a liability to a country if put into a wrong use.
From the speech, it is being understood that the democratic party is a party whereby, everyone should work hand in hand for the country. After all, they were a government for the people.

Tax was a big issue. To develop a country, much monetary funds are needed. To get money, there must be a correct way to get the capital. Although, the government have the right to print more money, they didn’t do it but sold bonds instead. It is because if the companies printed more money, the money value in that country will drop. As a result, the government sold bonds to borrow money from their citizens and this brought benefits to the citizens by giving them high interests.

In this speech it was mentioned that the leaders or bosses of the companies didn’t provide freedom and more equal opportunities to the labourers because some of the labourers were forced to work for more than 12 hours on a very low salary scale. This affected them. When most of the labourers are ill, the country will be affected by slowed down speed on the country development. Besides that, the natural resources they used like iron, copper or trees were mined and chopped down so much. It is because the country was developing so quickly they needed more natural resources to build their country. Yet some people wanted to earn more money so those material suppliers or companies purposely increased the prices of materials. What we learnt from this speech is we must give some freedom to the labourers, allow the labourers to have enough rest and treat them good so that they will be more efficient and also that we have to be equal and fair; and not corrupt.

Woodrow Wilson’s speech openly criticized the ongoing issues within the government and industry. It was aimed at the common American. It was written because America as a whole was deviating from its core values such as justice and liberty. The speech was written in response to the corruption and opacity of the government and the ruthlessness of robber barons who corrupted them and planted seeds of greed. The society became smarter as they realized problems of the common American had been falling on deaf ears in the past.

The views that come through and make and impact are the need for a change, not just mere change but a whole leap and bound forward, a revival of past values; the core values. Progress was no longer worth the human cost. The need was there to reverse the damage back to the way things were at the founding, where every man was free to pursue happiness. The author would seem to be an honest man, fighting for the interest of every American equally, and not favouring the rich. He would seem astute to notice the slow decline of America into a dog eat dog world, which is expected being that he is a political scientist.

All in all, the main reasons for the overthrow of the old were the desperate need for change, and also equity and access for all Americans in their fight for equality, thus creating a whole sweeping political tsunami in that era.


My final compilation of it :) Impact and all.
Events taking place are breaking me bit by bit :( Sigh*
