The 1950s was the time of McCarthyism, the Red Scare, and domestic advertising that featured Cold War propaganda. This discussion has three parts: Find an image that represents one of these aspects of the Cold War at home. You should not use an image featured in this week’s interactive lecture. Post the image in your initial response to the discussion. RECORD your explanation of the image you selected, identifying what you think it represents about the Cold War. Why did it appear that Americans were so afraid of domestic subversion? Upload your explanation as an audio file that accompanies your image in your initial post to the discussion. Note: A written response is not required for your initial post, only an audio recording plus the image. Post written comments on two of your classmates’ images, after you have both listened to the recording and viewed the image.
