The Cold War: Current Tensions And 'Golden Age'
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. One can be more than somewhat certain that as the world continues to spin and humanity continues to clash, there will always be global confrontation in one form or another. The Cold War represented such a time that many believed the end of the world had arrived; had it not been for the success of Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, that may very well have been the case. Now that that episode is past, a newer and perhaps more challenging struggle has emerged in the form of political terrorism. The writer also discusses whether or not the Cold War era might be considered a stable 'golden age.' Bibliography lists 12 sources.

The Cold War: Viewpoint
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Ascertaining the reasons behind the revived hostility that instigated the Cold War, historians have come to acknowledge the presence of Russian suspicions and American paranoia as fundamental motives. Delving deeper into these particular considerations finds that the Russians were, in fact, a nation of insecure people trying to assert their political independence. It can be argued that insecurity has been "one fundamental factor affecting Soviet policy" (Brothers, 1996) since the beginnings of the Muscovite State. In exchange, the Americans were guilty of accusing Soviet power as being "impervious to logic of reason, and highly sensitive to logic of force" (Brothers, 1996), an allegation that is not only confirmed by Cold War occurrences but also by historical considerations, as well. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Modern Post-War Empire
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the
fact that if an empire can best be defined by its dominance, its
influence, and, of course, its power, then the post World War II
realities of the United States impact on the world would
certainly appear to qualify it as an “empire.” When considered in
the context of “empire,” there are a number of factors that
should be examined. For example, the end of the Cold War, the
dissolution of the Soviet Union, even the technological
advancements that have taken place have all served to shift the
focus from military-motivated development and progress to a more
globalized interdependence. Bibliography lists only one source.

[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing the characteristics of the new Soviet man and woman as promoted by the Bolshevik Revolution. The Russian Revolution in 1917 was initiated by the masses of peasants, workers and educated classes who suffered under the oppressive government and were supported by the efforts of the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks promoted two ideals which appealed to the disgruntled masses, namely “Peace, Bread and Land” for the peasant class and “All power to the Soviets” for the working class. Once in power, the Bolsheviks, later the Communists, promoted through the use of artists, writers and propaganda the characteristics of the new Soviet man and woman which included efficiency, hard-work, responsibility and commitment to the party, fitness, toughness, discipline and self-education.

The Origins and Cultural Implications of the Cold War
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the origins and cultural implications of the Cold War based mainly on the texts of Brower and Moss. The Cold War originated in the ashes of the Second World War when the countries devastated by war and those formerly occupied by German or Japanese forces were forming new alliances with the Allies or were trying to end their history of colonization. The United States and Russia supported decolonization while at the same time understood the value of strong alliances. The United States, France, Britain and West Germany formed an alliance in Europe and for the first time excluded the Soviets based on their Communist ideals and politics. Stalin was equally determined to form strong global alliances in his defence of mother Russia and in so doing the Iron Curtain was formed dividing Europe. The political and economic division continued and escalated for over forty years with the United States and the Western European states forming NATO as a coalition against the threat and force of Communism. The existence of the Cold War did not only have an affect on politics, economics and international relations but also affected greatly the social and cultural developments between the different cultures. In the United States, anti-Soviet themes were the basis of many Hollywood productions which were mirrored by the anti-American plays being produced in the Soviet Union.
