Sneaker Culture
IOS
For the past twenty years, sneakers have been
on the rise as the most popular choice of casual
footwear all around the world. In America, they
are a status symbol in urban culture as well
as a symbol of masculinity. Having a new pair of
sneakers is a big deal for many people. There is a sub-culture of sneaker fanatics who are
constantly on the look out for new and hip designs, and who collect as many pairs as they can.
They call themselves "sneakerheads and take pride in their collections. Some people take so
much pride in their collections that they refuse to wear them, afraid to scuff them and mar their
perfection instead, they keep their shoes stored in their closets.
The first celebrity to endorse a pair of sneakers was Chuck Taylor, a basketball player, who
helped catapult the Converse sneaker to fame. Later, NBA star Michael Jordan designed his
own pair of performance sneakers, and his line is still popular today. The shoes became popular
in hip-hop culture, and as hip-hop became more popular, so did sneakers. Now it is common for
celebrities to create shoe lines, with Kanye West and Drake as examples

Explanation:

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.
