Cold War Culture The Cold War created its own world culture Became a part of almost every cultural aspect in America Attitudes towards: “East vs. West” Music Sports Movies

East Versus West “East” refers to anything connected to the Soviet Union or communism “West” refers to anything connected to the U.S. or its allies Americans felt that they were a part of the battle at home Most people carried anti- communist feelings Celebrated anything that honored America and its ideals

Music Cold War feelings were evident in American music of the time Lyrics discussed fears of nuclear war… …the “battle” between East and West… …how great America is… …why can’t the world have peace …ending global wars… …even anti-US or anti-Soviet feelings Bob Dylan

Sports East versus West was evident in sporting events as well Winning the competition meant our country was better than theirs (vice versa) 1972 Olympic basketball 1972 World Chess 1980 Olympic hockey

Movies Hollywood movies used the Cold War theme too Storylines involved: nuclear war worldwide espionage (spying) Soviet invasions of U.S. Even sporting events of “us versus them” feelings
