Cold War and Communism Paper HIS/145 September 18, 2014 Lisa Hurley As someone who was taught the duck and cover to protect themselves from an earthquake watching the video it’s crazy to think it was invented to protect themselves from an atomic bomb going off in their time. The nuclear bomb threat was the most feared thing back then. It is less likely to happen to American’s in the modern times, yet we still have the same fear of being attacked just in highly different ways. The thought of being in constant fear is dreadful to even think of now and to believe this was the biggest fear always running through their minds makes it sad to know this was normal to them. If there was a flash the first thing that had to be done was to
week 1 Individual Cold War and Communism To consider what it would have been like to live under the threat of nuclear attack brings to mind mass hysteria. I would imagine that living under this type of threat would have been very scary. To not know when or where this kind of attack would happen would make people live in fear. I cannot truly imagine what the people then felt like or the fear they had to be living in. To know each and every minute of every day wondering if this could be their last day.
Communism in the Cold War "The seeds of totalitarian regimes are nurtured by misery and want, they spread and grow in the evil soil of the poverty and strife. They reach their full growth when the hope of a people for a better life has died. We must keep that hope alive." as said by Harry S. Truman on march 12, 1947 in The Truman Doctrine. While Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy all had the same same Cold War intention of ending communism, their ways of achieving their goal were different.The Cold War was an angry dispute between the United States and the Soviet Union about whether we should spread or contain communism (Ayres 817).
Many critics of Orwell state that the main fear which surrounds this piece of literature is that of the ever growing fear of Stalinist Russia during the mid - 20th century, he is an author who despised the idea of totalitarianism and conformity in any shape or form ; such a communist society is presented clearly in 1984. Nevertheless, other frightful influences can be seen acknowledged by Orwell, providing us with the idea that Stalinist Russia was not his only fear for the future. When we examine the opinions and life of George Orwell, it is not so surprising that Stalinist Russia can be seen as his biggest fear for the world during the 19th century. It employs implements all ideas of a dictatorship and still manages to call itself a equal and self-righteous society, which is exactly what Orwell feels uneasy about as it treats the people as if they were cattle. This opinion is expressed within George Orwell's own letter (1944) as he talks of the "strengthening Stalin" and the idea that many countries during their time seemed to take a "non-democratic" form of government.
<BR>Among the defining affairs in my life, the most poignant is an ill history that has taken place overseas, boldly prompted to my eyes and beginning prior to my birth. It is this dire event, replete with poverty and ignorance, that fuels my ambitions for justice and equity. A sad story 6,120 miles away from the United States in a country unknown to the rest of the world still resonates within my being. Every day that passes this ghost grows further from the world as time separates it from the minds of so many others. However, each day the personal significance of this misfortune grows stronger.

Throughout time conspiracy theories have captivated the human mind. There is a certain type of sparked curiosity when we hear a conspiracy theory, and for every historic life changing event, one isn’t too far behind. According to Webster’s dictionary a conspiracy theory is defined as a theory that explains an event or set of circumstances as the result of a secret plot by usually powerful conspirators. Whether you believe these theories or not, they exist and in no other time were they more prevalent than in the 1960s.

There are also people who also made the Child and Youth Care possible in history such as Charles Dickens, Gisela Pieper Konopka, Jane Adams, Fritz Redl, Jean Rousseau, to the Medieval mention only but just a few.

During this period, there was harsh treatment for children and was more severe for children at the age of seven as it was believed that childhood seized at that age (Beukes & Gannon, 1996).
Furthermore, ordinary people like me have to struggle for our livelihood living in a militaristic country such as Burma because of factors like government terrorism. We have to struggle for our livelihood as the junta terrorizes us in every aspect leading us to fear our every move. Since my father could not accept the military government’s administration, he tried to oppose it as much as he could. Thus, when he decided to move to America in 2001, it was for political reasons as much as it was for economic reasons. That was the last I heard from him till 2004.
