Both Kennedy and Eisenhower remarked the importance of individuals citizens in the maintenance of peace. Eisenhower states that the only way to maintain peace is that the military industry, which has become permanent in the course of the century, stays that way. But only "an alert and knowledgeable citizenry" can mesh the maintenance of such military industry with the goal and methods of peace, "so that security and liberty may prosper together". World peace is long far to be reached, but war has been avoided, and the citizenry is the one to strive for the goal of peace with justice.

Kennedy, on the other hand, insists that in the hand of the citizens relies the outcome of this new world order in which both the United States and the Soviet Union are the most powerful countries and shall avoid at all costs to engage in another war and work together to "formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms--and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations", to  "join in creating a new endeavor, not a new balance of power, but a new world of law, where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved."

In hands of the citizens of America and of the world rests "the final success or failure of our course". The trumpet summons them again "to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, [...] a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself". So he asks his fellow citizens to ask themselves "not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country."

Why is othering both harmful and hard to combat
astraxan [27]

it's harmful to not only individuals, but society as well. it is hard to combat because of how society works. If someone very influential says something ra cist, se xist etc on social media, that can teach many people to think saying things like that is okay. alienating someone from society is incredibly harmful, and it can influence others to do the same.

.Stephen Crane
Gemiola [76]
<span>Based on the contextual information provided about author Stephen Crane, the theme that the last sentence of this excerpt from his short story "The Open Boat" likely reflects is that <u>nature is indifferent to humans.
</u>Nature is, in this case, the tower which looms over the destiny of tiny ants, or humans, and it doesn't really care what happens to us - it exists regardless of the fact whether we are there or not to witness its glory.<u>
</u></span>
