1、The Great Society英语发言稿英语演讲稿The Great Society The Great Society VerdanaIt is a great pleasure to be here today. This university has been coeducational since 1870, but I do not believe it was on the basis of your accomplishments that a high school girl said (and I quote), although perhaps at di
2、fferent hours. I came out here today very anxious to meet the student whose father told a friend of mine that his sons education had been a real value. It stopped his mother from bragging about him VerdanaI have come today from the turmoil of your capital to the tranquility of your campus to speak a
3、bout the future of your country. The purpose of protecting the life of our Nation and preserving the liberty of our citizens is to pursue the happiness of our people. Our success in that pursuit is the test of our success as a Nation.VerdanaYour imagination and your initiative and your indignation w
4、ill determine whether we build a society where progress is the servant of our needs, or a society where old values and new visions are buried under unbridled growth. For in your time we have the opportunity to move not only toward the rich society and the powerful society, but upward to the Great So
5、ciety.VerdanaThe Great Society is a place where every child can find knowledge to enrich his mind and to enlarge his talents. It is a place where leisure is a welcome chance to build and reflect, not a feared cause of boredom and restlessness. It is a place where the city of man serves not only the
6、needs of the body and the demands of commerce but the desire for beauty and the hunger for community. It is a place where man can renew contact with nature. It is a place which honors creation for its own sake and for what is adds to the understanding of the race. It is a place where men are more co
7、ncerned with the quality of their goals than the quantity of their goods. VerdanaSo I want to talk to you today about three places where we begin to build the Great Society - in our cities, in our countryside, and in our classrooms.VerdanaAnd our society will never be great until our cities are grea
8、t. Today the frontier of imagination and innovation is inside those cities and not beyond their borders. New experiments are already going on. It will be the task of your generation to make the American city a place where future generations will come, not only to live, but to live the good life. And
9、 I understand that if I stayed here tonight I would see that students are really doing their best to live the good life.VerdanaIt is inspiring to see how all of you, while you are in this country, are trying so hard to live at the level of the people.the strong and the free, but the beautiful. Today
10、 that beauty is in danger. The water we drink, the food we eat, the very air that we breathe, are threatened with pollution. Our parks are overcrowded, our seashores overburdened. Green fields and dense forests are disappearing.For once the battle is lost, once our natural splendor is destroyed, it
11、can never be recaptured. And once man can no longer walk with beauty or wonder at nature his spirit will wither and his sustenance be wasted. There your childrens lives will be shaped. Our society will not be great until every young mind is set free to scan the farthest reaches of thought and imagin
12、ation. We are still far from that goal. Today, 8 million adult Americans, more than the entire population of , have not finished 5 years of school. Nearly 20 million have not finished 8 years of school. Nearly 54 million - more than one quarter of all have not even finished high school.Each year mor
13、e than 100,000 high school graduates, with proved ability, do not enter college because they cannot afford it. And if we cannot educate todays youth, what will we do in 1970 when elementary school enrollment will be 5 million greater than 1960? And high school enrollment will rise by 5 million. And
14、college enrollment will increase by more than 3 million.But more classrooms and more teachers are not enough. We must seek an educational system which grows in excellence as it grows in size. This means better training for our teachers. It means preparing youth to enjoy their hours of leisure as wel
15、l as their hours of labor. It means exploring new techniques of teaching, to find new ways to stimulate the love of learning and the capacity for creation.I intend to establish working groups to prepare a series of White House conferences and meetings - on the cities, on natural beauty, on the quali
16、ty of education, and on other emerging challenges. And from these meetings and from this inspiration and from these studies we will begin to set our course toward the Great Society.nor can it rely solely on the strained resources of local authority. They require us to create new concepts of cooperat
17、ion, a creative federalism, between the National Capital and the leaders of local communities.Within your lifetime powerful forces, already loosed, will take us toward a way of life beyond the realm of our experience, almost beyond the bounds of our imagination.toward a new age. You have the chance
18、never before afforded to any people in any age. You can help build a society where the demands of morality, and the needs of the spirit, can be realized in the life of the Nation.will you join in the battle to give every citizen the full equality which God enjoins and the law requires, whatever his belief, or race, or the color of his
