The Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union enhanced in 1940s and 1950s. Thereafter, agitation advanced over the anticipated threat made by Communists in the U.S., and this became known as the Red Scare. Many were confused, and many were not happy about the decisions made during this time. Furthermore, the actions made eventually followed to a content community. Joseph McCarthy was a U.S. senator from Wisconsin. He intended to uncover and suppress domestic communists during the…

off western europe and then later to rebuild war-torn Europe to prevent the spread of communism, facilitate global trade and free markets, and encourage European peace. The U.S. gave $13 billion to European nations through the Marshall Plan. The Eastern European countries rejected Marshall Plan aid because of pressure from the Soviet Union, who feared non-communist influence in communist regions. The Marshall Plan ended in 1951; many argue that it was…

The Red wolf, scientifically known as Canis rufus, is a close relative to the more commonly known, Grey wolf. The Grey wolf is the one typically used in fairy tales while the Red wolf is not. The Red wolf has a cinnamon or tawny red coat with some grey and black markings. Their back tends to be darker and their tails tend to have a black tip. Red wolves are smaller than their close relatives, the grey wolf, but have longer legs and shorter fur. Full grown Red wolves measure around 4 to 5 feet in…

Ancient Heroism of Western and Eastern Culture According to Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, every hero shares the same typical adventure of the archetype. Despite this universal archetype, the heroes of each culture differ according to that culture’s values and beliefs. The river of history flows slowly; every country and every era has its own heroine who is acknowledged in their own ways. In one story of the Bible, a woman named Judith in ancient Israel made the ignominious defeat of the…

To Communists, like Lenin, war was an inevitable outcome of the final stage of capitalism: imperialism, where capitalist countries of Europe fight for markets and resources. Although imperialism was an obvious manifestation that caused economic competition between European powers, it was not the most significant cause of World War I. The nations that most demonstrated imperial rivalry, soon became allies instead of enemies in World War I: Britain and Russia. At first, Britain was threatened by…

Eisenhower was promising the Middle Eastern country military or economic aid. This aid was to assist in the resisting of the aggression by the communist in the Middle East. His doctrine was focused on preventing the increased Soviet influence within the Middle East. This increased Soviet influence was the direct…

Ann Snitow ’s essay, “Feminist Futures in the Former East Bloc” is an intriguing text that presents twelve points that draw a comparison between Western and Eastern European understanding of feminism and why it has not taken shape in Eastern Europe as it did in the Western part of the world. Although I find the list portrayed by Snitow slightly subjective in tone, since the list is presented through her perspective as a Western feminist, I appreciate the effort in bringing into the conversation…

As Ursula Franklin stated in her 1987 paper, Reflections on Theology and Peace, “peace is not the absence of war—peace is the absence of fear." In my opinion, the Cold War accurately demonstrates this definition of peace. The Cold War was a period in history where peace was nonexistent because of the fear present in the minds of Americans. The Cold War, despite being a drawn-out period of tension and hostilities between primarily the Soviet Union and the United States, had an absence of actual…
