Discussion 4: Cold War Pop Culture.

Remember, you need to answer at least two of the following questions, and then reply to at least three of your classmates responses.

1. Why did so many toys, comic books, and songs make references to atomic weapons? What does this tell us about living during the Cold War? How did atomic weapons alter people’s perception of life?
2. Why did the American military appear in various advertisements, games, and comic books? What does this tell us about society’s perception of the military during the Cold War? How might this perception be different from previous or future generations?
3. How can we see the influence of the Cold War in these movie trailers? Why were movies, comic books, and songs (“Great Atomic Power”) obsessed with spying and catastrophic events?
4. Compare the songs “Little Boxes” and “John Birch Paranoid Blues” with the song “No No Joe.” How is the tone and messaging different? How do the songs represent different parts of American society?

the pdf provided will help in answering the questions.

I need to questions to be answered each in a solid paragraph.

thanks,
