Answer: Which is the best example of a primary source document useful in the study of history? a journal excerpt from a person involved in the event in question.On June 12, 1987, in one of his most famous Cold War speeches, President Ronald Reagan challenges Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down” the Berlin Wall, a symbol of the repressive Communist era in a divided Germany.
In 1945, following Germany’s defeat in World War II, the nation’s capital, Berlin, was divided into four sections, with the Americans, British and French controlling the western region and the Soviets gaining power in the eastern region. In May 1949, the three western sections came together as the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), with the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) being established in October of that same year. In 1952, the border between the two countries was closed and by the following year East Germans were prosecuted if they left their country without permission. In August 1961, the Berlin Wall was erected by the East German government to prevent its citizens from escaping to the West. Between 1949 and the wall’s inception, it’s estimated that over 2.5 million East Germans fled to the West in search of a less repressive life.

With the wall as a backdrop, President Reagan declared to a West Berlin crowd in 1987, “There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace.” He then called upon his Soviet counterpart: “Secretary General 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.” Reagan then went on to ask Gorbachev to undertake serious arms reduction talks with the United States.

Like in all literature, fables represent the values of the culture in which it was written. In my opinion, fables do this better than other forms of literature. All writing has themes that can be universally connected, but fables specifically have morals that convey important values. Additionally, fables are often reflections of what the author sees in their own life. If an author sees a specific problem or reoccurring theme in their daily life, they are more likely to write about this in fables.
The main effect of Legalism in Qin China, 221 - 206 BCE, was to create strict rules and harsh punishments to those who disobey the rules, as well as rewards for those who carefully observed the law.
This is because after the Warring States period, Qin rulers admired the philosophy of legalism, which aims to strict obedience to law, as opposite to confucianism and daoism, which believed on softer ways to rule and obey the law, so, in consequence, they adopted this philosophy.
