Assignment 7 - Jacob Faulkner

On October 11th, 1986, Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev met as Iceland, talk about missiles arsenals they have all over Europe. This is a positive thing to society in that two rivaling men talk about their conflict and try to resolve it, and it's also a negative thing in that two evil men are so close together that something even more evil could happen. I'm unclear on what life would be like today if they hadn't talked, I'm not sure on how important or dire the matters were. I assume that life would be different today if any discussion of any President did or did not happen or any Cold War event did or did not happen. Either way, if these events did not happen, I assume American life, at least, would have changed in some aspect. And for that, I would say that this event is a positive thing.
