Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers. However, when searching for this question on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly like yours, which featured the short story "Cell One." If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.

Family love and support can help someone overcome hardship and injustice.

Explanation:

"Cell One" is a short story that shows how a corrupt political system and a dysfunctional society, victim of political irresponsibility, can influence young people to engage in illegal, criminal and dangerous acts. In this story we meet Adichi, who tries, at all costs, to free his rebellious son from getting involved in dangerous things, such as a way of rebellion against the corrupt system in which he lives. Adichie manages to free his son from many problems and this shows the main theme of the story, which is to present how love and support from the family can help any individual to overcome the injustices and difficulties in which they live.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
