Walden University Political and Economic Changes during the Cold War Era Journal

To prepare for this assignment:

• Review the L’Unita Interview with Fidel Castro and Salvador Allende’s speech from this week’s Learning Resources.
• Chose two elements from the following:
  • Social
  • Economical
  • Political/governmental
  • Environmental
• Imagine that you were born near the end of World War II and that you are now a young adult living in a country we read about this past week (so you would be writing in the 1960s), reflecting on the past two decades of the Cold War.
  • Consider what you would have experienced and witnessed during the Cold War.
  • Think about what it was like to live through the effects of the Cold War.
  • Draw from your readings and consider how the events of this era have created changes in the social, political/governmental, religious, and economic arenas of your country and the world.

The assignment:

• Write a 1-page journal entry for each of the two elements chosen and evaluate the changes you would have experienced and witnessed during this period of the Cold War.
