The cold war was a long period (ongoing) tension between the United States and the Soviet Union and their allies that developed after WW2. The Cold War was waged on political, economic and propaganda fronts and lasted till 1991 (Started from 1945-48).

It was named The Cold War because neither sides fought directly.

The United States and Great Britain feared the Soviet Union's domination over eastern Europe and their parties trying to gain power in the democracies of western Europe. The Soviets were determined to maintain control of eastern Europe in order to reassure against any possible threats from Germany and had the intent to spread their ideals (communism) worldwide.

There was also the threat of nuclear bombs.

The burning of books under the Nazi regime on May 10, 1933, is perhaps the most famous book burning in history.

The Nazi book burnings were a campaign conducted by the German Student Union (the "DSt") to ceremonially burn books in Nazi Germany and Austria in the 1930s. The books targeted for burning were those viewed as being subversive or as representing ideologies opposed to Nazism. These included books written by Jewish, pacifist, religious, liberal, anarchist, socialist, communist, and sexologist authors among others.[1] The first books burned were those of Karl Marx and Karl Kautsky.[2]

On May 10, 1933, university students burned upwards of 25,000 “un-German” books in Berlin’s Opera Square. Some 40,000 people gather to hear Joseph Goebbels deliver a fiery address: “No to decadence and moral corruption!”

As part of an effort to align German arts and culture with Nazi ideas (Gleichschaltung), university students in college towns across Germany burned thousands of books they considered to be “un-German,” heralding an era of state censorship and cultural control. Students threw books pillaged mostly from public and university libraries onto bonfires with great ceremony, band-playing, and so-called “fire oaths.” The students sought to purify German literature of “foreign,” especially Jewish, and other immoral influences. Among the authors whose works were burned was Helen Keller, an American whose belief in social justice encouraged her to champion disabled persons, pacifism, improved conditions for industrial workers, and women's voting rights.

A controlling society can be when they force people to do what they want by brainwashing people with their beliefs. They leave no room for others to input their opinions, because that would disrupt the flow of society. They make people burn books so that the citizens can be oblivious to the wrongdoing of society, and prevent change.

Like how Hitler used mass media and propaganda to enforce his ideals onto his people, all who would question or oppose his beliefs would be reported and punished severely. To create fear and reluctance to question his actions, and mold the new generation into subjects who would follow what society expects them to do.

The war ended up with a huge increase in population, erupted by the unity in families. Women were highly targeted for addressing their needs and desires by advertisers due to their obsession with body image in 1950s. This gave advertising agencies the chance to gradually increase their promotion by providing the necessities for women to maintain and enhance their body figure. Traditional media such as radio, newspaper and magazines remained as vital Ad conduits but the main focus was television as it became the cornerstone of various advertisers. Throughout the decade, advertising expenditures increases to unprecedented levels.

Advertising during this period reflected a conscious return to traditional family values and the painful memories of the Great depression war were replaced by positive futuristic idolized unity in modern families. Advertising also portrayed society’s upward mobility and prosperity.

The most important factor that influenced advertising agencies was the growth of TV. Advertising agencies produced TV shows with networks providing more facilities and occasional guidance

The 1950s were viewed as a time of conformity for women. The ideal life promoted in an average American society during the fifties was to have the ‘nuclear family’. A woman's role in life was to stay at home and care for her husband and children, refusing any sort of career path. Although many women had joined the workforce after WW2 they were told to quietly go back to their domestic duties as soldiers returning home would be replacing them in their jobs. During the fifties, messages in media and pop culture were commonly seen encouraging women to give up working and stay domesticated however many women chose to press against the societal norms and became ⅓ of the peacetime labour force. Although some women stayed in their jobs most did return home and began the lives of being housewives, this endured cooking, cleaning, looking after her husband and carrying their children. This rise in domestic households led to the largest new generation of Americans between 1946-1964 ‘baby boomers.’

On May 10, 1933 (6 years before WWII) student groups at universities across Germany carried out a series of book burnings of works that the students and leading Nazi party members associated with an “un-German spirit.” Enthusiastic crowds witnessed the burning of books by Brecht, Einstein, Freud, Mann, and Remarque, among many other well-known intellectuals, scientists and cultural figures, many of whom were Jewish. The largest of these book bonfires occurred in Berlin, where an estimated 40,000 people gathered to hear a speech by the propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, in which he pronounced that “Jewish intellectualism is dead” and endorsed the students’ “right to clean up the debris of the past.”

McCarthyism is accusations of treason and subversion without evidence. It has origins in the United States of America in the later 1940s and early 1950s. It was caused by raising tensions in the United States due to the Korean War, the Soviet Union testing an atomic bomb, and a high-level State Department official was convicted of espionage. It was also characterised by spreading fear of communist influence in America and Russian spies.

Advertising in the 1950s was primarily targeted at women. Because men were the breadwinners of the household, women were left to spend the money made by the man, and therefore had the most control of the family budget and products purchased. This meant that many ads used domestic life as a connection to the consumer (housewife). “The women of the 1950’s, at least through American advertising, functioned as more than stylish help, but domestic help with a difference: her portrayal also includes strong decision making. Not only is the American women IN 1950’s advertising, but she also decides what will be purchased”
