Is there a new Cold War in XXI , yes or no and why.
5. The United Nations: The United Nations were created shortly after World War II as an association that would help solve the problems of the world and avoid future problems from occurring. Since their creation, they have greatly helped end wars and battles between many countries while also maintaining a solid relationship between them.
4. Globalization: Throughout the 20th century many advancements were made to communications and relations between countries. Easier and faster ways were invented to travel and trade with all of the countries of the world. The many relations that countries have nowadays made it less likely for it to be a war because resources would start to lack as countries close their borders and trade routes.
3. Internet: After WWII many technological improvements were discovered to make it more efficient the communication. The Internet has allowed countries to communicate and connect in a matter of seconds compared to before where it could take days, weeks, or even months. This also allow for the news of different countries to be shared with the world which allows every person to have a better perception of it.
2. Censoring/Manipulating Media: The Cold War was notorious for having a great amount of propaganda to give false information about certain people and countries. This has now transcended to more modern ways of giving fake news about controversial topics that can blind people from the truth.
1. Suppressive Governments: Suppressive governments have been a controversial topic nowadays. The North Korean government has censored and blocked most of the connections with other countries. Even though they call themselves a "democratic government" the system is manipulated in a way for the same president to always win every election making it a dictatorship.
ANTI-DRAFT MOVEMENTS
The Selective Service System, otherwise known as the draft or conscription, requires almost all male U.S. citizens and immigrants, ages 18 through 25, to register with the government.
The United States military has been all-volunteer since 1973. But an Act of Congress could still reinstate the draft in case of a national emergency. The Selective Service System is the agency that registers men and is responsible for running a draft.
The anti-draft movement is the people who were against the government making the draft/selection of the young males to service their country. This movement happened during the Cold War and Vietnam War.
ANTI-WAR MOVEMENTS
The anti-war movement did force the United States to sign a peace treaty, withdraw its remaining forces, and end the draft in early 1973. Throughout a decade of organizing, anti-war activists used a variety of tactics to shift public opinion and ultimately alter the actions of political leaders
