Reword this paragraph. an example of cultural diffusion in east asia includes the spread of the teachings of confucius or the religion of buddhism. on the other hand, an example of cultural diffusion in south asia is the spread of hinduism which more than faith, is treated as a way of life. theravada buddhism, however, influenced most of the southeast asian through the siam. each diffusion was enabled by the increase and advancement of communication, transportation and technology. impacts of cultural diffusion include both negative and positive. a positive effect, for example is that, an individual is able to learn new ideas different from his own culture and allows him to experience the benefits of having new concepts in life. a negative effect, for example is that, when an individual learned new concepts from another culture, he has the tendency to lose his own cultural identity and long-term traditions may soon be forgotten.

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.
