Cíle předmětu

This course is a brief overview of the cold war from both points of view. The first meeting is focused on the events from the late 1940’s to the early 1960’s through documentary videos and discussion of the assigned texts. During the 10 weeks after that meeting, students do their own research and present their findings on the on-line class forum. This research may take the form of traditional academic research, an interview with someone with first hand experience, a study of how the cold war affected a local community, family, etc. The last meeting will deal with events from the mid 1960’s to 1989 through more video documentaries and analysis of primary sources.
The aims of the course are:
to identify the roots of the cold war
to appraise the reality and strategy of the nuclear arms race
to analyze the flash points and "near misses" of nuclear conflagration
to evaluate the lasting cultural effect of the cold war
