After the optimism of the Renaissance, neoclassical writers strived for structure, order, and balance. The cultural trend changed from the belief that people were naturally good to the belief that they were sinful. As a result, the writing of the neoclassical era favored a plain and modest style, choosing simple words and phrasings. Imagine that you are in charge of directing cultural trends for the next 10 years. What would you change about the current culture in terms of literature? For example, how would you change the style, accessibility, and the ease with which you comprehend texts? What sorts of qualities would you like to see in literature or other forms of art? Consider how you would guide the creation of these cultural changes, including what role current events and the government would play and how the market would promote your vision. Also, think about other people’s agendas for cultural change and how yours differs.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
