The Golden Age
The rising popularity of TV in 1953
Between 1953 and 1960, there was an important change called the “golden age”. It was a period of peace, harmony, stability and prosperity. Most Americans, during the golden age lived better than their parents and grandparents in areas such as housing, income, education, diet and recreation. Numerous innovations also came into widespread use in these years, transforming Americans daily lives. These innovations include television, automatic dishwashers, inexpensive long distance telephone calls, home air conditioning and jet air travel. Moreover, services like electricity, central heating and indoor plumbing that only the rich had enjoyed has now became features of ordinary citizens.
An event that was responsible for this change in the golden age was the ‘Cold War”. This is the term used to describe the relationship between America and the Soviet Union. Neither side ever fought the other but they did ‘fight’ for their beliefs using client States who bought for their beliefs on their behalf. This resulted into the golden age because great tasks were accomplished and mankind lived better lives.

Collapse of Communism & Victory of Capitalism
This video is from YouTube, and its official name is “Collapse of the Soviet Union 1991.” It was posted in online in January 23, 2008 by kennedy27126 and under the category of “NHD Conflict and Compromise.” This video shows that how the Soviet Union brakes into small independent nations at end of the Cold war. Actually this war was between communism vs capitalism. The concept of communism was well established in the Soviet Union, and capitalist countries wanted to demolish the practicing of communism in the powerful nation such as Soviet Union. So the U.S.A and other capitalist countries tried to break the strength of a communist nation, and they were able to break the ties of Soviet nation.
