The cold war I chose to write about the cold war. This is because I think that it is a very interesting theme‚ and I wanted to learn more about it. I will talk about when the cold war happened‚ who was involved‚ about nuclear weapons and why it was never real fighting and about the Cuban missile crisis. My problem statement: What would have happened if the cold war became hot? A hot war is actual warfare. All talks have failed and the armies are fighting. The cold war lasted from 1945

Some Like It Hot In “Some Like It Hot” by Lawrence Lessig‚ he talks about piracy and what piracy is. It talks about the different types of items that people use piracy for.

The term of “contact zone” seems pretty simple to understand at the first look but what does it truly means? Mary Louise defines this term as “… social spaces where cultures meet‚ clash‚ and grapple with each other‚ often in contexts of highly asymmetrical power” (Pratt 575). In a “contact zone” a person meets with two different cultures‚ going through a struggle to maintain a certain identity.

METHODOLOGY AND DATA 2.1 Holdridge Life Zones In Holdridge (1967) life zones approach (Figure 1)‚ there two assumptions: 1) The temperature and precipitation variables are main factors determining life zones (or biomes). 2) The vegetation is assumed to be independent of animals. According to the assumptions‚ the primary influences on life zones are those factors that make up climate of the Holdridge system. In this respect‚ it is not unlike the systems of Köppen (1931) and Thornthwaite (1948)

Zone of Proximal Development Developed by Soviet psychologist Lev Vygotsky‚ the zone of proximal development (ZPD) refers to a metaphorical area between material a learner has mastered‚ and material that goes beyond a learner’s ability. This ‘middle-ground’ represents “potential learning” that can only occur through interactions with a ‘more advanced peer:’ teachers‚ parents‚ more capable classmates.

Who was more to blame for the start of the Cold War‚ the USA or the USSR? There were many countries involved in the Cold War.

Nevertheless‚ I feel that the USSR should receive most of the blame due to their very aggressive‚ upfront attitude and many other reasons which will be discussed later on in the essay. Despite feeling that

The Cold War was a period of hostility‚ fear‚ and tension between the United States and the Soviet Union from the end of the 1940s to late 1980s. Like what Winston Churchill said‚ the world has been divided by the “Iron Curtain” during the Cold War between the Communists and the capitalists. It was called the Cold War because it was only a psychological warfare with no active wars between the two nations‚ which were due to the fear of nuclear arms. The result of the Cold War affected the world
