Woodrow Wilson's first inaugural address summed up many things that he thought should and had happened. The first paragraphs talk about how old habits that had been with America for years suddenly were seen in a new light, and not a very good one at that. People started to realize old habits were mistakes. He continues with how not everything is bad but the "gold has become corroded" how we have squandered nature and not put human lives above the worth of enterprise. We must correct the evil without disturbing the good. The government is about to protect the people men, women and children. Individual rights must stand above all in the fight for justice and not be lost in the waves of ignorance. He finishes by exclaiming how he will do everything in his power to grant this new passion of man, the one of humanity.
