Assuming you mean the U.S and U.S.S.R, then tensions started decreasing in the 70s, partly because of the Vietnam war being seen as a product of the Cold War and the war being very unpopular. Additionally, the U.S.S.R wasn't doing very well internally, and the reforms Nikita Kruschev institued in the U.S.S.R made it hard to convince the people that they were doing better than the U.S, as the press began covering things differently. By the time the Berlin Wall came down, the Cold War was basically over.
Tensions started around the late 40s, and peaked in the 50s and around the Bay of Pigs. This happened because the two governmental systems and political ideologies contrasted, and the two nations despised each other as a result.

What are some values that are important to the people who live and work in the new nation? List three values and illustrate thei

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Three values that are important to the people who live and work in the new nation:

Individual freedom
Equality of opportunity
Material wealth

Explanation:

Individual freedom : Freedom to the people who live and work in the New Nation means the desire and the right of all individuals to control their own destiny without outside interference from the government, a ruling noble class, the church, or any other organized authority. This desire to be free of controls was a basic value of the new nation, it is especially important to them because it teaches self reliance, they believe that they cannot be truly free if they can't be independent. They must be self reliant if they want to remain free. This means, for example, that children gain financial independence from their guardians as early as possible.
Equality of opportunity: To the people of the New Nation this does not mean that everyone should be equal, to them it means that each individual should have an equal chance for success. For them, equality means that everyone should have an equal chance of winning. For example, equality of opportunity helps ensure that the race for success is a fair one and that a person does not win just because he or she was born into a wealthy family, or lose because of race or religion.
Material wealth: People go to the New Nation to improve their standards of living due its abundance of natural resources. They are willing to work hard to gain material possessions, which they view as a natural reward for their hard work. Acquiring and maintaining a large number of material possessions is important to the people living and working in the New Nation because it is widely accepted indicator of social status there. due to their stand on being free they rejected European system of nobility, and consequently have to find their own, thus material wealth is used as a measure of social status in the New Nation.
