On June 12, 1987, United States President Ronald Reagan delivered the “Berlin Wall Speech” to a crowd of Germans who lived in West Berlin and to an international television audience at the Brandenburg Gate in front of the Berlin Wall:

And now the Soviets themselves may, in a limited way, be coming to understand the importance of freedom. We hear much from Moscow about a new policy of reform and openness. Some political prisoners have been released. Certain foreign news broadcasts are no longer being jammed. Some economic enterprises have been permitted to operate with greater freedom from state control.

Are these the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet state? Or are they token gestures, intended to raise false hopes in the West, or to strengthen the Soviet system without changing it?

We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace.

There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace.

General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

Based on the excerpt of the Berlin Wall Speech, explain how the audience affects the way Ronald Reagan presents his ideas.

Ronald Reagan delivered the speech to rile in the fervor of the people.

Explanation:

Reagan was one of the greatest orators ever to take up the seat of the president.

He knew the public and phrased his speeches to rile them up to his cause and to know the temperature of the room he walked into.

The issue of the Berlin wall was a sensitive one and he wanted to drive home the point that it is in fact the Americans that had led to this success by coercing USSR with diplomatic pressure and the arms race.

It was significant for the public to know that the polices of the government had had a result.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
