I want you to imagine that in hopes of effecting some changes in your life, either at home or at school, you are going to compose a document based on your complaints to be sent to the appropriate audience. As you begin to compose your document you should consider the following questions. To whom would you send your complaints? Why? What reasons would you give for your decision to write out your complaints?

What makes you think your complaints are worthwhile? Aren’t there good reasons why things are the way they are? Why should things as they are be changed? Would it be possible to summarize the thinking behind your desire for change in a single sentence?

Have you already tried to make any changes in the treatment of young people? In what way?

Is it possible to say in a single sentence what it is you really want to happen? It would take time to change the system to accommodate all of your complaints. What should happen right away?

Lastly, who would be willing to sign his/her name to this list of complaints even if it were going to be seen and read by many people?

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.
