Abstract

Politics impacts us it changes our lives and makes us think of our future . Politics is integrally linked to our daily activities . When we plan our future we invariably evaluate the future through the prism of current political dominance . Politics moves history and our personal development . Ultimately , we are the ones who primarily perceive the changes in the political structure and

attitudes in the course of historical and political development

The Era of Change through Political Events

Introduction

Many of us naively think that politics is some distanced area of human activity , which can hardly impact our personal lives . Many of us are still surrounded by the deceptive images of politics as a football game in which two or more players apply any possible means to defeat the opponent . In reality , politics is not as distanced as one might think We are directly and indirectly involved into this process of political development . We participate in free elections , and determine what political parties and players will have political dominance in the nearest decades . We are impacted by the political decisions and events we create the system of public opinion in response to different political actions and incidents . In this way politics and people are the two critical elements of the present-day society

The human history is rich in such political examples . In this , I will try to evaluate the impact which such political events have caused on the American society . I keep to the opinion that the major political events of the last 50 years still impact us even if we do not notice this impact

The politics of the 1950s : McCarthyism and the Korean War

The 1950s were marked by the development of persistent political opposition between the United States and the Soviet Union . This opposition is now determined by the term the Cold War , having caused serious irreversible effects on the social life of both states . When it comes to evaluating the impact of politics on the American nation , it is not directly the Cold War but its separate forms which have changed the social life of millions
