Me brainstorm . 24 points! i have a project in my world literature class and i can't seem to come up with an idea. here's the info for the project: for your project, choose a medium (poetry, prose, nonfiction [biography, essay, etc.], video, art, song lyrics, etc.) that reflects the issues, concerns, & major ideas that have defined the 2010s so far. choose a method of expression that demonstrates your strengths in order to be optimally successful. ask yourself this question: what will stand the test of time? when 50-100 years have gone by, will people really remember the minor things, no matter how big they seem to us today? i know i want to do something on social media, but i can't figure anything else out. i've been thinking about it for days. can someone me brainstorm ideas for a topic?

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.
