How does the quotation reflect the views that Carter brought to U.S. foreign policy during his presidency?

“Because we are free we can never be indifferent to the fate of freedom elsewhere. Our moral sense dictates a clearcut preference for these societies which share with us an abiding respect for individual human rights. We do not seek to intimidate, but it is clear that a world which others can dominate with impunity [immunity] would be inhospitable to decency and a threat to the well-being of all people.”
—Jimmy Carter, Inaugural Address, January 20, 1977
