1RUNNING HEAD: COLD WAR AND COMMUNISMCold War and CommunismCold War and CommunismJessica RajAugust 26, 2014Paul RileyCold War and CommunismLiving under war alone is terrifying. I don't think I remember being in time when the United States was not in war. Growing up all I have heard about is the war, and has always imagined when it would end. Although living in America I did not actually witness war like many do while living in the rural cities, it is still terrifying to hear or watch on the news about any war in any country.Living under a nuclear ...view middle of the document...
Living in a nuclear war would mean to never know when the end of life could be or when the end of a loved one's life could be. We would be all living in the world of fear and the world of the unknown.Living in a nuclear war can be very similar to terrorism or it can be also very different depending on the way it is looked upon. Some of the similarities of terrorism and nuclear war are that both of these can take place anywhere. For example, during 9/11 when the two buildings were hit by airplanes no one could have ever imagined this life changing events would occur. This is the same to nuclear wars; no one can ever imagine when the war would begin and how many lives would be taken. Nuclear war or in fact any war is similar to terrorism because many innocent lives are taken. The differences of nuclear wars and terrorism are that nuclear wars are amongst two countries. Terrorism can happen any place or anywhere by anyone. For example, events such as the Boston shooting were the result of only a few people.In conclusion, nuclear war is terrifying just as terrorism can be. Both events can kill many innocent lives and change many other lives. Nuclear war is in my opinion one of the scariest wars because of the amount of impact it can create and basically ruin everything in its path.
