Communism and Democracyare both political ideologies that are mainly about equality in societies. The difference between them is the way they were ran. Communism was lead by a group of people who make decisions for the public. The decide what actions to take in certain situations and that can affect the people of the public's life. Also in communism, the government controls not only the people, but the things people do to make a living, like producing and distributing goods. Since this is the case, the society is penalized as one instead of individuals. They all make the same earnings so that no one person could rise above another. Unlike communism, democracy was a group of elected people-not randomized like communism-who made it their job to fulfill with wishes and desires of the public. Democracy also contain rich and poor societies, which is relatively different than communism. It allows people to do as they please to earn the things they want. Overall, communism and democracy have the same main idea, which is freedom, but they both include different underlying policies and laws that create their government.
Soviet Union Wall and Cold War
Children on top of the Berlin Wall.
What separates these two is the Soviet Union Wall(Berlin Wall).When this wall was tore down, the two had come together to create a disaster. This had a huge affect on the people and in 1945 the Cold War had began causing more issues. In the novel, Snow Falling In Spring, a memoir by Moying Li, Moying Li says, "Baba had once talked about what it was like for him leaving home at fifteen to join the army in 1945 at the end of the War of Resistance" (43). Not only did Moying Li's family suffer from not having their loved one around, but so did many others. The people were reminded that the Cold War was still in action by this quote, "Let us not be deceived-today we are in the midst of a cold war"(Bernard Baruch). The Cold War had ended about 15 years later in 1960. In 1989 The Soviet Union Wall also known as the Berlin Wall, came crashing down. The Cold War and Soviet Union Wall had affected everyone deeply.
For my creative piece I made a wordle. On this wordle, I put down words that came to mind when I thought of the cost of war in the 20th century. When I think of the word "cost" many different things come to mind and it isn't necessarily money. The cost of the war was how much a person had to give up, how much a person got hurt, how much a person went through and so many other things. The "cost" of the war means so much more than the money spent, it's about the people and what they had to endure because of the war.
