Cold War Overview
For Financial, Economic, and Business Literacy skills it was particular to find a work sample since I did not take a math class in my junior year, and then in my history class, we started learning about the Cold War. While this skill is about making good decisions with your money it is also about understanding the economy and as the Cold War was an economic battle between Capitalism and Communism. For this assignment, we had to write down takeaways from 2 readings explaining how the Cold War affected the world. As I learn more about the Cold War I'm also understanding how capitalism works and the strengths and weakness of the system. I'm also learning about the best way to gain money and use the system to my advantage. The Cold War was something that the world had never seen as neither country wanted to risk mutually assured destruction it turned into an economic war. Overall, the Cold War gave me a new look at this 21st-century skill and better insight into capitalism.
