The Cold War Today

Even though the Cold War ended technically in 1945, we still see it appearing in 2010. On April 10, 2010 President Barack Obama and President Dmitry Medvedev from Russia signed the START treaty. This treaty consisted of a reduction in the nuclear weapons in the United States and Russia by 1/3%, though they are both trying to still reduce the amount in other countries. This treaty taking place now in the present day shows the relationship from now and the Cold War, because we are connecting with Russia just as we did before trying to make their country and ours safer just as we did in the Cold War. Yet not all the effects today relating back to the cold war are positive because we are still seeing racism today as we did in the Cold War. As people look upon it today they see its wrong but things are not done to consume it as it was in the Cold War when Civil Rights activist did all in their will power to stop the horrid actions preceded by people. Hopefully another Cold War won’t take place because people are too scared to speak up against what’s really wrong in our society today.
