Personal Narrative: My Interview With Twinkle Ramgadhia
The person I interviewed was a female named Twinkle Ramgadhia. She was born in India and moved to the United States when she was around 30 years old with her family. She came here looking for jobs to support her and her family. She told me she remembers watching news about the cold war in India. I asked her what it was like for her when she moved here during the cold war and she told me that I wasn’t that bad for her she didn’t like thinking about the negative things going around she wanted to focus on supporting her family. She told me she remembers a bit about Ronald Reagan and his presidency when she came here. The interviewee didn’t answer in details because she didn’t remember much about the cold war. Instead, I asked her some terms

    Cold War for Ss310 Kaplan

    The Cold War was a state of political, military, and economic tensions and hostilities between the Communist World, primarily the Soviet Union, and the Capitalist Western World, the United States and its allies. The Cold War lasted over 40 years because the beginning and ending of it leaves room for some debate. Some sources say it started in the mid to late 40’ after the Second World War while other historians date it back to 1917 with The Bolshevik Revolution and ending in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union. In that case the Cold War then lasted for over 70 years. The periods when tensions were at the most high were from the late 40s to the 70’s. The international incidences of particular note that brought things to the boiling point were the Berlin Blockade (‘48-‘49), the Korean War (‘50-‘53), Berlin Crisis (‘61), the Vietnam War (’59-’75), and the Cuban Missile Crisis (’62). There were points, like the Cuban Missile Crisis, were the United States were very close to engaging in a nuclear war with the Soviet Union and its allies. The Cold War spread at home too during a heightened state of fear and panic called the Second Red Scare. This lasted approximately 10 years from 1947-1957 during a time when the country was worried about national and foreign communists taking over society and the federal government. Anyone, from actors to politicians, and just the ordinary working class person accused of any communist ties, could lose their job, property, and face imprisonment even with lack of proof or evidence to support the claims.…

    After conducting my interviews I have a much more extensive knowledge of what the Cold War meant to families in that era. I surpassed what is constantly discussed in scholarly circles, and became indoctrinated it what was discussed at the dinner table. I interviewed Mr. and Mrs. Russ Philpot, Russ was born in 1943, and Mary was born in 1946. They both stated the Cold War was synonymous with fear. My third interview was Mr. Luis Rodda he was born in 1962; he provided good insight in to the Bay of Pigs. All three interviewees advised most their knowledge came from media, very little was covered in the schools, however all stated they performed emergency drills at schools. After combining all the notes from my interviews this is what I have been immersed in.…

    The Reagan Administration's Foreign Policy During The Cold War

    The Cold War took off after the end of the Second World War when the United States and the Soviet Union emerged as the two global dominant superpowers each grasping ideologies that were dichotomous from each other. This adverse relationship continued for half a century and the clash of two distinct and differing political ideologies of communism and capitalism saw no clear conclusion or victory for either side. The tense atmosphere resonated not only in the United States and the Soviet Union, but also around the world and into space. For most of the fifty years of the cold war, the ideological struggle and the many indirect physical conflicts between the West and the Soviet Union were in a deadlock with no visible success of either side. However,…

    Why the United States Dropped the Atomic Bomb: Persuasive Essay

    The atomic bomb is the subject of much controversy. Since its first detonation in 1945, the entire world has heard the aftershocks of that blast. Issues concerning Nuclear Weapons sparked the Cold War. We also have the atomic bomb to thank for our relative peace in this time due to the fear of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD). The effects of the atomic bomb might not have been the exact effects that the United States was looking for when they dropped Little Boy and Fat Man on Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively (Grant, 1998). The original desire of the United States government when they dropped Little Boy and Fat Man on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not, in fact, the one more commonly known: that the two nuclear devices dropped upon Hiroshima and Nagasaki were detonated with the intention of bringing an end to the war with Japan, but instead to intimidate the Soviet Union. The fact of Japan's imminent defeat, the undeniable truth that relations with Russia were deteriorating, and competition for the division of Europe prove this without question.…
