How did the Cold War shape the politics, economy, society and culture of the United States.

History
1 answer:
olga2289 [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The development of the military-industrial complex after World War II and its continued accumulation in reaction to questions regarding the military prowess of the Soviet Union became part of the influence of the Cold War. This has resulted in dramatic amounts of technical advancement, contributing to massive increases in GDP.

Competition with the Soviet Union has resulted in unparalleled levels of expenditure in education, especially in mathematics and science. The mixture of returned veterans attending university under the GI Bill and recent STEM education investments reacting to the "Sputnik moment" led to the creation of a very highly trained population in the United States.

Cold War hysteria led to McCarthyism, which was a major attack on civil liberties. In an imperialistic attempt to fight Soviet power internationally, it also contributed to interference in the affairs of several other nations. The increase in participation in foreign wars and environmentally damaging factories contributed to the creation of protest campaigns protesting foreign wars and seeking environmental regulation increased.

Would the U.S government be better if it were a more direct democracy?
blagie [28]

Answer:

I don't know...call me crazy, but I don't think this would be such a bad idea (at least sometime in the future.)  With the advent of the internet, there really is no reason why people can't have more input on legislation.  Remember, congressmen act as representatives of the people for logistical reasons.  Were voting allowed via internet, mail, or permanent polling places, the logistical roadblocks are reduced.

This country has an annoying quality where senators and representatives are elected and then inject their own personality into their voting.  They are supposed to represent the people of their district.  If 60% of the people in their district feel a certain way about an issue, why is the congressman/woman allowed to vote a different way?  Why do their personal beliefs really matter at all?  They are supposed to be voting the way their district wants regardless of what they personally believe.

I know, I know, things can be horribly complicated and the average person can't possibly understand all the issues they are voting on, but last I checked their is no intelligence requirement to be in the government...many people in governement now are dumb as a box of rocks.  They don't have to be smart to be elected, they have to be personable and have good advisors working in the background.

Imagine being able to directly vote on education issues, warfare issues, and being able to prioritize budget items.  Instead of blaming the morons in congress we would only be able to blame ourselves when things went horribly wrong.  Of course, some form of standing governement would still be needed for a lot of reasons.

Again, I know the technology is not hot enough right now to provide the secruity that would be needed, etc, but it won't be long...

What were the differences between the triple alliance and the triple entente
Mashcka [7]
The Triple Entente WAS NOT an alliance - nothing was ever signed by Britain.It was an understanding in the early 20th century between Britain,France,and Russia by which they all agreed that none of them liked Germany much,and effectively admitted that they all therefore had a common interest in opposing German aims.

The Triple Alliance was a full alliance between Germany,Austria-Hungary,and Italy signed in 1882,the purpose of which was to keep France isolated.When WW1 began in 1914,Italy welshed on the alliance on the grounds that the war was caused by German aggression (a popular international view long before the Treaty of Versailles).

Question 17 (Mandatory) (1 point)
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Notable differences are found in the way social life was structured among regions. For the people of the South, life emerged as rugged and rural while people of the North are heavily connected to the Church and village community. These cultural differences remained and shaped some of the confrontations that needed to be addressed during the Civil War .

Thus: True

Explanation:

Historical Background

Colonial America depended on the natural environment to meet basic needs of the people and the colony. The available natural resources provided (or in essence dictated) what each region’s unique specialty would be or become. Specialized economies quickly emerged as a result of human and environmental interaction.

Colonial America also had regional differences among culture or historical reason for establishment as a colony. The Southern Colonies were established as economic ventures and were seeking natural resources to provide material wealth to the mother country and themselves. In contrast, the early New England colonists were primarily religious reformers and separatists. They were seeking a new way of life to glorify God and for the greater good of their spiritual life. The Middle colonies welcomed people from various and diverse lifestyles. The social-political structure included all three varieties: villages, cities, and small farms.

Another difference is clearly noted in the human resources. New England had skilled craftsmen in the industry of shipbuilding. The Mid-Atlantic presented a diverse workforce of farmers, fisherman, and merchants. The Southern Colonies were primarily agricultural with few cities and limited schools. As these regions developed highly specialized economies, each could not supply everything that was needed or at least not as effectively as an interdependent system – they relied on each other for certain items or skills.

New England’s economy at first specialized in nautical or boating equipment, while later the region developed mills and factories. The environment is ideal for water-powered machinery (mills), which allowed for finished products to be crafted, such as woven cloth and metal tools. The middles colonies had rich farmland and a moderate climate. This made it a more suitable place to grow grain and livestock than New England. Their environment was ideal for small to large farms. The coastal lowland and bays provided harbors, thus the middle colonies were able to provide trading opportunities where the three regions meet in market towns and cities. The Southern colonies had fertile farmlands which contributed to the rise of cash crops such as rice, tobacco, and indigo. Plantations developed as nearly subsistent communities. Slavery allowed wealthy aristocrats and large landowners to cultivate huge tracts of land. When strictly examining the geography of New England compared to the South, it is plausible that the vast space of the Southern region influenced the way it remained rural and still today holds that as a sense of pride or shared experience/identity.

Notable differences are found in the way social life was structured among regions. For the people of the South, life emerged as rugged and rural while people of the North are heavily connected to the Church and village community. These cultural differences remained and shaped some of the confrontations that needed to be addressed during the Civil War
