Ans:
When culture develops and become more strong,as compared to other cultures then people around the globe are attracted towards such culture.Even if they are enemies. And that is what happened between the west and the soviet union in the mid 1980's as it were the first time in which western acts were allowed to tour in the U.S.S.R. and even in Soviet Russia itself.
Explanation:
<u>The Western Music and Culture And Downfall of U.S.S.R:</u>
At the time when Mikhail Gorbachev was the General Secretary of the soviet union. The volatility of international oil market and the ups and downs in agriculture business made it very hard for the Soviet Union to develop.
As the General Secretary of soviet union wanted reforms and he did some, which brought the west and the soviet union much closer then ever. As the people from that region fell in love with the western culture as they enjoyed western music and had concerts arranged for the western artists to come and perform.
As Mikhail Safonov states, “when a person had educated himself in the culture of the Beatles, he found he could no longer live in lies and hypocrisy” (Safonov).
They loved the music and dance, it was a new day for them.
<u>Resistance from the Soviet Union-</u>
But there was a response from the leaders and the political parties, as they started campaigning against the western music.<em>A “blacklist” of banned (or “not recommended”) musical groups, formally titled as “The approximate list of foreign musical groups and artists whose repertoires contain ideologically harmful compositions”,</em> was regularly updated and disseminated by the Komsomol, the Communist Party’s Youth Wing((The Scotsman).
The overriding theme of All Quiet on the Western Front<span> is the terrible brutality of war, which informs every scene in the novel. Whereas war novels before </span>All Quiet on the Western Front<span> tended to romanticize what war was like, emphasizing ideas such as glory, honor, patriotic duty, and adventure, </span>All Quiet on the Western Front<span> sets out to portray war as it was actually experienced, replacing the romantic picture of glory and heroism with a decidedly unromantic vision of fear, meaninglessness, and butchery. In many ways, World War I demanded this depiction more than any war before it—it completely altered mankind’s conception of military conflict with its catastrophic levels of carnage and violence, its battles that lasted for months, and its gruesome new technological advancements (e.g., machine guns, poison gas, trenches) that made killing easier and more impersonal than ever before. Remarque’s novel dramatizes these aspects of World War I and portrays the mind-numbing terror and savagery of war with a relentless focus on the physical and psychological damage that it occasions. At the end of the novel, almost every major character is dead, epitomizing the war’s devastating effect on the generation of young men who were forced to fight it.</span>
Answer
Cabeza de Vaca was a Spanish explorer of the New World, and one of four survivors of the 1527 Narváez expedition. The survivors lived among the natives of the region for four years, and Cabeza de Vaca carved out roles as a trader and a healer in the community. In 1532 he and the other three surviving members of his original party set out for Mexico, where they hoped to connect with other representatives of the Spanish empire. They traveled through Texas, and possibly what are now New Mexico and Arizona, before arriving in northern Mexico in 1536, where they met up with fellow Spaniards, who were in the region to capture slaves. Cabeza de Vaca deplored the Spanish explorers' treatment of Indians, and when he returned home in 1537 he advocated for changes in Spain's policy. After a brief term as governor of a province in Mexico, he became a judge in Seville, Spain, a position he occupied for the remainder of his life.
Future Explorations:
Cabeza de Vaca’s stories concerning the cities of Cíbola caused much excitement in New Spain and the rush to find gold in New Mexico was precipitated by his statement that the Indians at one point in his journey (in the upper Sonora Valley) told him that in the mountain country to the north were some “towns with big houses and many people” with whom they traded parrot feathers for turquoise. These towns were the group of six Zuni pueblos in western New Mexico. The Indians pointed the way to the pueblos and it was thought at the time that these pueblos were in the area of the large buffalo herds of which the Spaniards had vague information.
His stories of gold in New Mexico caused a rush of people to go to New Mexico, which then caused future explorations (influenced new explorations).
