Question 5 Why does Reagan mention of synagogues and mosques in his speech at
Moscow State University?

President Ronald Reagan mentioned synagogues and mosques to emphasize on the issue of democracy and the freedom that America offers to its residents, be it legal or non-legal residents.

Explanation:

On May 31, 1988, President Ronald Reagan gave a speech in front of students of Moscow State University as part of his trip to ensure good relations with the newly reformed Soviet Union. This visit was also a part of his efforts to build better relations with the new Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and his reform plans for the Soviet Union.

But President Reagan also took the chance to bring to the Soviet attention the importance of democracy. His speech was more of like a promotional campaign for the new leader, Gorbachev. He stated, "Go to any American town, to take just an example, and you'll see dozens of churches, representing many different beliefs -- in many places, synagogues and mosques -- and you'll see families of every conceivable nationality worshiping together."

This statement was part of his strategy to promote Gorbachev as the best leader to lead the Soviet Union into a new democratic government. And through this example of America's democratic approach, Reagan seems to promote the idea of democracy as something beneficial for the public.

  plan: i will begin with a quotation about the importance of unity in a community. then, i will state my claim that an activity will unite our school by creating a shared vision, purpose, and direction. in the body, i will use three main points that describe the different avenues the students can take: through a variety of clubs, through a special event, or through an awareness week. i will provide evidence about other towns that have unity activities and the kinds of events that they include. pictures will illustrate my three main points in action. for the ending, i will restate the main idea in a new way and pose a question to keep the audience thinking.
