The Cold War was fought after WWII from 1945 - 1991 between the US and democratic nations and the USSR and the Communist nations. They fought many 'proxy wars' such as, for example, but not limited to:

- Korean War
- Cuban missile crisis

The Cold War was named the way it is, because the two sides didn't fight head on head (as stated above). Instead, they supplied groups they are allied with, with volunteers, weapons & technology, as well as economic boosts. The Cold War saw the advancement of technology in many regions, including missiles, space technology, and other military technology.

Towards the end of the Cold War, the USSR had internal troubles, including satellite nations that wanted more freedom and democracy, as well as problems with the economy. Soon, the then-USSR leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, allowed <em>Glasnot</em>, or opennes, which ended the USSR's rule in 1991. He led the domestic reform and nuclear disarmament to help end the cold war, but because of internal factors, helped brake apart the USSR and lead to the downfall of communism in Europe.

However, Communism still continued in other nations, such as Cuba, Vietnam, & North Korea, but soon gave way to either a totalitarian state, or glasnot as well, as they either accepted US intervention and trade agreements (such as Vietnam) , or closed off even more (such as North Korea).

Even though people living during the Cold War had to live in fear, the Cold War helped bring the world more together, to give the world was able to draw closer together. The Cold War also spurred technological development (however mostly in the military), and helped create many organizations that helped countries around the world (such as the Peace Corps) and to further explore the world we live in as well as the surroundings (NASA). It also saw the creation of military alliances (NATO) as well as trading organizations, such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the North American Free Trade Organization (NATO) (in which the WTO is the whole world, while NATO was only Canada, USA, and Mexico).

1. What is the mission of the field of personality psychology?
mars1129 [50]

The mission of the field of personality psychology are the following.

Explanation:

  • Personality psychology enables us to see the many qualities we share in common with others, as well as the differences among us that serve to provide us with the distinctive features of our mental lives.
  • An individual's personality is the combination of traits and patterns that influence their behavior, thought, motivation, and emotion. It drives individuals to consistently think, feel, and behave in specific ways; in essence, it is what makes each individual unique.
  • Personality concerns the most important, most noticeable, parts of an individual's psychological life. Personality concerns whether a person is happy or sad, energetic or apathetic, smart or dull. Over the years, many different definitions have been proposed for personality. Most of the definitions refer to a mental system—a collection of psychological parts including motives, emotions, and thoughts.
  • "Personality is the entire mental organization of a human being at any stage of his development. It embraces every phase of human character: intellect, temperament, skill, morality, and every attitude that has been built up in the course of one's life."Personality is the essence of a human being."
  • "An individual's pattern of psychological processes arising from motives, feelings, thoughts, and other major areas of psychological function. Personality is expressed through its influences on the body, in conscious mental life, and through the individual's social behavior."
