Really fast, will give brainlest answer. what is theodore roosevelt's comparison of the ideal citizen to a roman gladiator. why do you think roosevelt chose this particular allusion to make his point about the way people should conduct their lives and participate in democracy? was his comparison an effective one? why or why not?

On April 23rd, 1910, while visiting Paris, Theodore Roosevelt delivered an extraordinary speech that it’s remembered today as an example of what is worthy in life. He compared a roman gladiator with the common citizen and said that what’s important as a man is the effort he/she puts to achieve his/her goals, no matter if they win or lose. Willingness to succeed and fighting their own battles, is what makes the difference between the brave ones and those who do not want to try just in case they fail.

Theodore Roosevelt chose to make this comparison to demonstrate that the only way to make a change in democracy is participating actively in society, taking risks, trying hard even if it’s not a victory at first, as opposed to just criticizing what others might do or say.

Roosevelt’s speech, known as “The man in the arena”, is still effective in today’s world as it shows that it’s from effort and mistakes that societies learn and become better. He also empathizes that the process itself is more important than the result, as Roosevelt said: “The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming”.

after a more than a decade and a half of combating al qaeda (aq) in afghanistan and pakistan,

the united states faces a diverse array of threats from al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and

africa. while senior al qaeda figures reportedly remain based in pakistan, the network includes

a number of affiliates across the middle east and africa including al qaeda in the arabian

peninsula (aqap), al qaeda in the islamic maghreb (aqim), and al shabaab. al qaeda also

retains a small but possibly growing presence in afghanistan. u.s. officials have stated that al

qaeda still maintains a foothold in syria through its ties to hay’at tahrir al sham (formerly

known as the nusra front), though the exact nature of that relationship may be evolving. this

report examines the threat posed by al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and africa as described

by u.s. officials and outside observers, as well as the u.s. approach to date in responding to these

threats. this was all i could find hope this : )
