It means that our emotional system can be manipulated to destructive ends.]]> 2022-11-13 23:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ruize001_2/yrrlgp5f517nzx7h/wish/2381908446 Cold War propaganda. ruize001_2 https://padlet.com/ruize001_2/yrrlgp5f517nzx7h/wish/2381910541 Cold War propaganda promoted the advantages and virtues of one political system and/or criticized or demonized the other.

- Red Nightmare: Red Nightmare makes the outlandish claim that entire US cities had been reconstructed in Soviet territory, in order to train communist spies and infiltrators in methods of bringing down American government and society.

-Films like Red Planet Mars, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and The Blob contained aliens who took the form of shadowy forces hell-bent on taking control of the world by stealth, an obvious metaphor for communist infiltration.

Arts
-American and Soviet dance companies performed regularly around the world, attempting to demonstrate cultural superiority. This competition led to a dramatic rise in US government funding for the arts.

Sports
-The 1972 Olympic gold medal basketball match between the US and USSR also ended in controversy, with the defeated Americans refusing to accept the silver medal. The 1980 Olympics were held in Moscow and were boycotted by the US, West Germany, Japan and several other nations. The Soviets reciprocated by refusing to attend the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.

Truman to justify sending military aid to Greece and Turkey in the 1940s, the Domino Theory, a staple of Western Cold War thinking, held that the “fall” of a noncommunist state to communism would precipitate the fall of noncommunist governments in neighboring countries. It was later used to explain American involvement in the Vietnam War.
