Communism During The Cold War
For a long time it was thought that there are only two approaches in economics, Communism, which was driven from economic theories of Karl Marx (Gans et al., 2012), and Capitalism, which mostly comes from theories of Adam smith (Gans et al., 2012). This disagreement led to biggest and most effective phenomenon of 20th century called Cold War. During this war a silent and humble but courageous and effective movement started and developed in Basque, Spain. The idea was simple; workers, owners and managers are same people. Their idea was brilliant and sustainability and development of the cooperatives are witnesses to this fact. Mondragon Cooperative Corporation (MCC) is the first and one the best examples of the cooperative corporations (Hogner, 1993) …show more content…

    The Role Of Communism In The 1950's

    The 1950’s dealt with threats from the USSR and Communism which scared many people in the United States and soon became a full-fledged paranoia. There was fear of falling behind the advances of the Communist countries, especially among the Soviet Union, creating the Red Scare. As the Cold War with the USSR escalated, Americans increased their suspicions of Communist influences. Due to this, a special committee was formed in order to investigate Communists in America known as HUAC (The House Un-American Activities Committee). In 1947, HUAC accused ten people in Hollywood of supporting communist propaganda becoming blacklisted. As time went on, more individuals were being suspected of being Communists which eventually led to the act of McCarthyism…

    Communism During The Cold War

    Option 3: During the cold war, fear that communism was going to spread throughout the world and the impending threat of nuclear attack plagued the United States. These fears led people to look suspiciously at their neighbors and many people called in accusations. Young children performed duck and cover drills and families on military bases lived with the threat every day. People built bomb shelters and Hollywood created its blacklist. Being accused of being a communist destroyed someone's future career. The other result of the Cold War was that it caused immense military spending, an increase in new technology, and advancements in security.…

    Communistic Expansion During The Cold War

    Ever since the end of world war two, tension between the US and USSR has constantly been present. This long constant tension between the two countries came to be known as the Cold War. Many attempts of soviet communistic expansion occurred over the span of the cold war, where many of those occurrences are tied to the US. Instances of communism in Germany, Asia, and Cuba could be highlighted as the most diplomatic of the cold war, and were all handled differently by the United States. After the fractioning of Germany by the US, France, Britain, And the Soviet Union, Berlin became a metaphorical battle ground for communism.…

    The Cold War and Communism

    After watching the 1951 movie called Duck and Cover; I want to share my thoughts on how it would be to experience a nuclear war or even a terrorist threat. In the movie the people had to be aware of the nuclear war just like we have to be aware of bad weather such as a tornado, volcano, earthquake, or a severe thunderstorm. The nuclear war reminds me of those two because they can both be damaging and sometimes deadly but you have to take the proper precautions such as duck and cover it will make sure that you and your family and others are safe and sound. I know for a fact if had to be involved in the nuclear war or even a terrorist threat that I would be scared out of my mind but also while being scared I will also be thinking to myself “I hope everything they taught us coming up in school about safety when it comes to bad weather and avoiding the terrorist has paid off so that I can be safe as well as others” because if not the outcome will not be good. The thought of knowing that something bad such as a nuclear war is coming but not knowing when it will occur is scary and that is how I would feel about the nuclear war and the terrorist threat because I would be on alert or watching what is happening around me more which would make me paranoid. As I think of a nuclear war or a terrorist threat; I believe that everyone will take the proper safety measures to save their lives because they are both a threat to everyone. This movie reminds of the video’s the fire department used to show in school and it would teach us to stop, drop, and roll. This movie teaches us to duck and cover as well to protect ourselves.…

    Academic Essay - Business Ethics Abstract

    In 1956, the Mondragón Cooperative Corporation, or MCC, made a small start in Basque region of Spain, at the initiative of five young engineers, inspired by a Catholic priest by the name of Jose Maria Arizmendiarrieta. Today it has emerged as a truly multi-billion dollar international enterprise with a highly integrated network of 100 MCC cooperative enterprises and competes quite successfully with conventional capitalist corporations both locally and worldwide. The success of this alternative business model in predominantly capitalist system can be judged from the fact that today there are 750,000 co-operatives worldwide with about 760 million members.…
