The Cold War was the war between United States and Soviet Union following the WWII. After the defeat of the axis powers and the fall of Hilter, the Soviet Union possessed the world's largest enemy. The US possessed the most powerful weapon in the atomic bomb, which had just been dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to defeat Japan. Both nations had allied with one another in the war to defeat their common enemy but this was merely a front to mask the contempt both had for one another. The cold war was the term used to describe the antagonism between democratic America and communist Soviet Union (Russia). While there was never any armed notion of conflict between both nation, the cold war was the battle of ideologies and was waged in nations all over the world between proxy nation. The US goal was to spread democragy throughout the world and Soviet Union's goal was to spread communism.

The Cold War led was a conflict between the United States of America (USA), along with its allies, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and its satellite states and allies.  The deeper issues that set the USA and the USSR at odds were that the USA was committed to capitalism and democratic institutions of government, whereas the USSR was committed to communism and imposed authoritarian government.  The Cold War was mostly a tension between these worldviews.

There were also immediate conflicts and pressure points as the Cold War began. One of those issues was that the USA had atomic weapons and the USSR did not.  (The US would not share that technology with the Soviets, who had been their ally in World War II.)  When the Soviets developed their own atomic weaponry, this led to a massive arms race between the superpowers.

During the course of the Cold War, the two superpowers never directly went to war with one another.  However, they did support a number of proxy wars where they were supporting opposing sides in other conflicts -- such as the Korean War, the Six Day War (in the Middle East), the Soviet-Afghan War, etc.

As the Cold War continued, the two superpowers (US and USSR) kept escalating their weapons capabilities and stockpiles.  It got to the point that if the two sides did plunge into war, they would face mutually assured destruction.  Eventually the US and USSR would pursue policies of detente, which included pledges to reduce their nuclear arsenals.  The arms race and solving the arms race were constant issues affecting the Cold War.

Describe what projective tests are, and then explain how projection is used in the thematic apperception test (TAT) and the Rors
NeTakaya

Answer:

Projective tests are a type of personality test that is designed to have a person react to ambiguous stimuli to potentially reveal hidden emotions that are projected onto the test. In the Rorschach Inkblot Test a person is shown a series of ten black and white cards and asked to report the first thing that comes to mind. The participant then says what came to mind and may project some emotions onto the inkblot that were previous unmentioned. The person administering the test then records aspects of their reactions like gestures and tone of voice. In a thematic apperception test or TAT a person is shown an ambiguous scene and asked to create a story around it. The person can then reveal emotions that they did not previous mention in the story by stating how the characters feel and how the story ends. In a projective test a lot is up for interpretation based on the individual and how they are feeling at that time making the test lack both reliability and validity because of no grading scale being set in stone and results being inconsistent.
