European Dream

1. Define what we mean by the term œEuropean Dream. 2. Discuss what Europeans mean by œsocial justice, and note how social justice compares with what Americans call œwelfare statism. 3. Briefly discuss the hallmark features and results of œthe European Dream and European social justice. [You are welcome to judge these features and results if you so desire, but be sure you make clear to the reader that you understand what these hallmark features and results are.] 4. Note how the contrasting European and American views of the positive and the negative role of the state in safeguarding liberty fit with the logic of œthe European Dream and œthe American Dream. 5. Briefly discuss how œprocedural rights and œsubstantive (aka material, quality of life) rights fit into any consideration of œthe European Dream and œthe American Dream. In your discussion, be sure to explicitly refer to: 6. Mäster August Palm’s November 6, 1881 speech about socialism, delivered at the Hotel Stockholm, Malmö, Sweden. 7. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s œEconomic Bill of Rights, as excerpted from his January 11, 1944 State of the Union Speech.
