The fall of the Soviet following the victory of capitalism over the Cold War brought an end to the era of legitimized communist government. Although there were states remaining in communist ideologies these states found themselves converting to a more capitalistic society to completely cutting themselves off from the world, as seen with North Korea.
The cold war was more than just a fight between two countries it was a war on ideologies. Like the space race, the cold war was a race to see who can globalize the fastest and the most efficiently. Communism and Capitalism, the only contenders, never fought one another directly, but instead participated in proxy wars, by supplying various nations with support. The end of USSR was the end of the

Hong Kong, one of the Four Asian Tigers, is a prime example of how a place under communist ruling could adapt to the free market, by implementing export oriented policies along with strong developmental policies. This was unique in that it allowed for rapid growth while keeping an equal income distribution. Unlike Russia the people of Hong Kong were urged through incentives to invest in the market allowing the economy to grow. This was a flaw within the USSR, it lacked the ability to incentive its people to invest within the market. The personal incentives for workers to go above and beyond in their jobs was too weak. Workers knew that they would be paid regardless of the work that they put forth. This created an immense amount of stagnation, and did not allow them to grow. Hong Kong’s rapid industrialization allowed them to develop into a more sophisticated society, able to keep up with the free …show more content…
North Korea is a prime example of this occurrence. After the Japanese surrender of World War II the United States occupied South Korea, while the USSR occupied the Northern Portion. North Korea became a puppet communist government under the USSR. After the collapse of the USSR North Korea isolated themselves from the world choosing to stay communist. This isolation from the markets transformed North Korea into a communist dictatorship. Those who live within North Korea are impoverished. The lack of supplies and industry has been detrimental to their growth. Communism with the context of North Korea and the USSR paints a failing picture pertaining to the ideals of a communist government. This form of government is unable to sustain growth within the open
The Cold War took place after World War II between the years of 1947 and 1991. It was a struggle for supremacy between both the United States and the Soviet Union. The Cold War was to dominate international affairs for decades. Major crises occurred such as the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, Hungary and the Berlin Wall being just some of the resulting issues. For many, the growth in weapons of mass destruction was the most worrying issue because it is always unknown as to what they could be used for. Neither side ever fought the other because the casualties would be tragic, but they did ‘fight’ for their beliefs using client states who fought for their beliefs on
Consisting of 44 years of violence and civil unrest from 1947 to 1991, the Cold War was a huge turning-point in history. The Cold War however was a war of avoidance, not combat. Defence systems were heavily funded as deterrence to actual war, the belief being a risk of mutual annihilation would be too great to be the side to make the first move. However, the Cold War caused a large variety of conflict and civil unrest around the world, such as the Korean War, Vietnam War and the Cuban Missile Crisis. The War split the world into supporting either the United States, or the USSR (Soviet Union). Both superpowers were associated with two very different political systems; Capitalism and Communism. The Soviets were very concerned about the spread
Right after the end of World War II with the Allied forces rejoicing over a marginal victory over Germany, a new and different kind of war was brewing over the tensions of the Western and Eastern blocs, a kind that wouldn’t be fought on the battlefield. The Cold War began in the year of 1945 and lasted all the way until 1991. A cause of the Cold War was the tension between two former allies of World War II, the United States of America and the Soviet Union (also known as the USSR, which stood for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). The United States had a democratic government and a capitalist economy, while the Soviet Union had a communist government, each trying to spread their political views and gain world power. Neither of the two
The Cold War was between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The war lasted from 1946 - 1991. The Soviet Union wanted to spread communism, while the U.S. wanted to stop the expansion of communism (“Harry Truman”). Communism is a political theory where all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs. The USSR also wanted to remain in control of the Eastern European nations.
China and Russia are both countries with strong state traditions who have favored communist systems over the western idea of democracy. But, in the 1990’s, China and Russia began to stray from their communist systems in their own ways. Russia began the shift with rapid political liberalization under Gorbachev followed by the fall of the Soviet Union. China, on the other hand, embarked on a managed transition with step by step introduction of capitalism while the CCP remained the sole political power. China’s transition was hugely successful, experiencing astounding GDP growth and the largest increase in human welfare in history. Russia’s reforms on the other hand was a failure as the soviet lost half its territory and population. Following the fall of the Soviet Union was an economic recession with an increase in crime and death rates. China experienced a huge increase in human welfare while Russia saw a huge downturn. After comparing China’s and Russia’s different path towards modernization, China has seen stronger and stabled growth as opposed to Russia’s shortcomings.
Both countries established their ally countries by supplying the finances, weapons, and even military actions. Consequently, many countries have established their identity as a free country or a communist country until today. The Cold War is somewhat like a Monopoly game. Who has the most valuable lands, who has the strongest weapons, who is the wealthiest, and who has the strongest government that is supported by their people. It seems like it is just a competition among the nations that shares the equivalent ideology that were divided into either the United States’ side or the Soviet Union’s side. At least one thing positive about the Cold War is that it was not a Hot War which could have been a World War
Communism has been a global problem for decades, and has caused a wide array of issues. The Soviet Union and China were the main Communist threats post-World War II. The Soviets were the biggest threat, without their influence, China would not have become a Communist nation. North Korea was supported by the Soviet Union after the Japanese lost World War II. They adopted a Communist government called the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and was ruled under Kim Il-sung. North Korea invaded South Korea, an authoritarian country, which drew involvement from the United States, and in general, the United Nations. US involvement in Korea is debatebly because of the rising threat of global Communism and the attempt of North Korea taking South Korea.
On the other hand we had the USSR and their approach towards rebuilding Eastern Europe. “Modernization of production in the Soviet bloc opened new technical and bureaucratic careers, but economic development in satellite states remained slow because the USSR bought goods from these satellite states at bargain prices and sold to them exorbitant ones. Despite this inequity, peoples livelihoods
It could be argued that the collapse of the Eastern bloc was inevitable due to the moral bankruptcy of communism. The communist ideology stresses the equality and necessity of protecting the working class. Yet, the corruption of the communist party was increasingly apparent. Thus, it could be argued that the inherent failures of the communist system itself contributed to collapse of communism in Eastern Europe. Moreover, this moral bankruptcy resulted in an alienated population. The lack of competition in industry and lack of incentives resulted in low productivity which contributed to the worsening of the Soviets’ economic system. Additionally, due to the quotas enforced by the government, it was not uncommon for managers to lie about the quantity of their production. The fact that there was little
Europe was not the only place communism was spreaded throughout. Southeast Asia also became a theater of operations for pro and anti communist forces. Communist ideals and parties had been presented in Southeast Asia since the 1920s but it was not until World War II that came to play a prominent part in the region’s affair. A communist administration was also installed in Northern Korea,and fighting between the people's Republic of Korea exploded in the Korean War, fought between communist and United Nations
After the end of World War II on September 2, 1945, a new era called the Cold War began. The Cold War was a non-violent state of political and military tension between the democratic and capitalist United States and the communist Soviet Union: two of the biggest powers of the world at the time. However, they were drastically different in both economy and politics, allowing rivalry to build up. They both wanted to become the most powerful nation of the world, and both feared that the other nation would rise up to become the most powerful nation of the world.
The relationship between physicians and hospitals is very important. If the relationship between the two is negative then the organization cannot be successful and can fall to the ground. If the relationship is positive then the organization becomes successful. Physicians bring business to the hospitals with their clinical experience, with the patients they see, by admitting them or performing procedures, and decide on what type of supplies and services will be used (Harrison, 2016). Both, physicians and hospitals are competitive, but physicians have more responsibilities, so they have a bigger role to play. Not only do physician bring in patients, services, and supplies, but they
What do health care economics have to do with you as you provide patient care?
One example of two countries who are separated by communism and democracy is North and South Korea. South Korea is ruled by the ideas of democracy, in the other hand North Korea is ruled by communism. “ By 2014, over 23,000 North Koreans had escaped to live in South Korea and other free nations.” As it is said by many refugees from North Korea, being under the ruling of Kim Jong-il is not a very safe and liberal country.
Socialization is very important in society and in the development of a child’s personality. Socialization is very vital to the success that a person hopes to accomplish in life. One must learn how to work with others and effectively communicate with others. This characteristics are very essential in life. Through sports many find that these concepts can be learn. It is preferred that these skills are acquired at a young age. If these skills can be learned through sport it makes sense that a parent would put a child in these at such a young age. Sports also give the very important benefit of better health. I will closely examine both the pros and cons of socialization of children through sport at a young age from a functionalist and
