Social Studies 30-1: Rejections of Liberalism Unit 4 Section Two

Conflicting Ideologies Assignment 20 marks In this section, you considered the impact of ideological conflict on international affairs. Many strategies were employed by both sides as the incompatible ideologies of liberal democracy and communist totalitarianism strove for global domination. In this assignment, you will use your knowledge, imagination, and creativity to construct a mosaic to demonstrate the conflicts of the Cold War era. Be sure to review all the readings from this section before you complete this assignment. Step One Choose six of the terms below. For each term, select an image that illustrates the key features suggested. You may choose to illustrate the concept symbolically or provide an example. brinkmanship containment deterrence dtente expansionism non-alignment mutually assured destruction liberation movement proxy war domino effect

The image can be your own photo, a photograph from the Internet or a magazine, a cartoon, or a representation that you have constructed. Possible image sources include the following: Flicker Photo Sharing: http://www.flickr.com/ Picasa Photo Sharing: http://picasa.google.com/ United States Library of Congress Digital Collection: http://www.loc.gov/library/libarch-digital.html Creative Commons Image Search: http://search.creativecommons.org/# Photobucket: http://photobucket.com/ Step Two After you have chosen your images, compile them into a mosaic or collage. You may use Mosaic Maker at http://bighugelabs.com/mosaic.php or some other software program to generate your mosaic, or you can inset your images into a table. Insert your mosaic into the space below the example:

2 ss 30-1 Step Three Identify the term that goes with each individual image, and explain why you selected it. Your explanation should show your understanding of the term and how it was used during the Cold War. Explain any aspects of the term that the images do not explain. An example is provided. Sphere of Influence: This image is a sphere, like the earth. Within the sphere are several smaller spheres representing various countries, in patterns of colour that represent the various areas in which the Soviet Union and the United States had influence. The red represents the Soviet Union, with most of its sphere of influence within one geographic area, but with other allied communist countries in other parts of the globe. The United States areas of influence are gold, mostly western Europe. There are other areas as well representing the non-aligned nations. Its not exactly accurate in terms of how much geographic area the different spheres had and it doesnt show the techniques used to create and maintain the two superpowers. I also liked this picture because it used bright colours such as those you would see in the 1950s to 1970s, which is when most of the Cold War took place.
