If i read the temper of our people correctly, we now realize as we have never realized before our interdependence on each other; that we can not merely take but we must give as well; that if we are to go forward, we must move as a trained and loyal army willing to sacrifice for the good of a common discipline, because without such discipline no progress is made, no leadership becomes effective. (from franklin delano roosevelt's inaugural address , ) using context clues, explain what interdependence means in regards to excerpt above. be sure and write your answer in complete sentences referencing the excerpt above.

The word interdependence means mutual dependence, mutual necessity of each other. Here Roosevelt is talking about how Americans need each other, working as a team, "move as a trained and loyal army willing to sacrifice for the good of a common discipline", to overcome the greatest obstacle of America's history by the date the speech was given: the Great Depression. He is calling his fellow countrymen to work together and follow him through the midst of that difficult time, in a disciplined manner because it's the only way to move forward.

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.
