The Cold War was a time in history when there was a great political and military turmoil between the United States and the Soviet Union. The Cold War shaped the world in these three ways, women’s rights, society,Cultural. These three changed people in positive and negative ways. Once again, women were called upon to fulfill a role in the defense of America on one hand to perpetuate the American population and on the other to promote American ideals abroad. Women had a chance to be equal to men.
Though the cold war brought about McCarthyism and unnecessary fear to the American people, I believe the cold war affected American society in a more positive than negative way. During the cold war, Brown vs. the Board of Education took place which lead to the desegregation of all public schools ,this also lead to the undoing of the separate but equal doctrine. Ten years later in 1964 President LBJ signed the civil rights act. This leads me to believe, unlike wars prior where the United States went to war and came home to a nation that was “working toward civil rights for all its citizens”, the cold war cataclysmic in shaping why civil rights for all American citizens weren’t only crucial but a necessity for America to be America-the poster boy(girl) for democracy. The cold war was mainly a battle between American democracy and Soviet communism.
During the 1980s, the United States was situated in the middle of one of the biggest recessions since 1929. In addition to that, society was facing a great instability in politics and a growing popular in satisfaction with the leaders and economy. The years following the 1970s were marked by the bad decisions made by the former president Carter, and the people decided to elect as president Ronald Reagan. During Reagan’s years of presidency, it was adopted the politics to reduce taxes hoping to get the economy to grow again. With that said, as inventors in that period of time, we would have to be aware of the economic instability that was happening at that time.
As America’s industrial production increased and grew, big businesses also grew. Big businesses were the “the administrative arm of industry”. Therefore, it was important for businesses to advance as well to keep up with the industrial production and demands from the nation. New ideas and technologies brought to the market and businesses helped them advance and benefit. Many inventors had different ideas, but the most famous was undoubtedly Thomas Alva Edison.
he first chapter of The Cold War: A New History begins by comparing the United States to the U.S.S.R. and talking about the similarities between the two. It also talks about Communism and how Marx deemed it necessary in order to build up the economy. Lenin tried to implement Communism in Russia. They were not quite ready for that kind of system, so Stalin tried to modernize the economy. The U.S.S.R. had more casualties in World War II, but things were not necessarily looking great in America either.
History will always repeat itself. There are many examples of history repeating itself and the fact that history is written by the victor. Throughout this entire class we discussed several different events that still have an impact on society today. These events also impact the way politics are and have become. The Cold War still has an impact on our relationship with Russia and the way they run their country.
Education and technology changed in a massive way during the Cold War. This was because during the Cold War, the United States was on a race with the Soviet Union to get the best technology and one up each other in education, economy political influence, etc. Technology was also heavily influenced because of the War. Some of the things the Soviets and Americans invented weren 't expected for another couple of years and were way ahead of their time. Some of the things invented were Direct Distance Dialing, basic computer language, L.E.D lights, and our very first satellites.
The way new goods, jobs, and industries are created is by new inventions. The creation of the Patent Office created an engine for the rapid introduction of new inventions in

Sarah Paroya D period I hate MUSH The end of World War II should have marked a period of relief in America but instead, it lead America into a completely different type of war called the Cold War. The Cold War was an ongoing state of political and military tension between the United States and the Soviet Union. This constant state of tension and fear had been embedded deep in the American public.
Towards the end of WWII Germany was split into two sides. One side was controlled by the US and the other was controlled by the Soviet Union. As the conflict between this two countries led to the Cold War. Russia didn't supply the us with food; they supplied food to the soviet union, but the us was able to get food by flying over food with aircrafts until the problem was resolved. Josef Stalin of the USSR and Mao of China tried to show the advantages of food with communism with collectivization, but both failed.
Some historians believe the Cold War was inevitable because of the hostilities from both America and the Soviet Union after World War II. America believed that the USSR was an expansionist country trying to spread an evil, communistic idea throughout the world. Although the countries never directly fought against each other, as they only fought in proxy wars, there was still extreme conflict. The United States responded to the Soviets actions in Germany, Europe, and their national actions. These responses were justifiable, or so many Americans at the time believed.

The Cold War lasted forty-four years and left a lasting social impact on the United States. The spread of communism and The Soviet Union left many Americans in a constant state of fear and paranoia. The space race between the United States and The Soviet Union significantly impacted the education system in the United States and the curriculum that was taught for years to come. The social emphasis on gender caused a crisis on American masculinity and feminism by influencing many to assume certain gender roles and feel that they were not masculine enough or too feminine because of their view on communism. The Cold War socially impacted the United States through fear, education, and gender.
