Cold War script

Intro slide

Mason: Hello, today we’re going to talk about what happened in the cold war.

Wing Fung: Cold War was basically an arms war with the US and the Soviet Union. They were just showing off how many bombs and how many weapons they had and their technological advancements.

JH: Shall we start the presentation?

2^nd slide

Mason: First a little history of the cold war. Many people believed that the cold war started during WW2 but some people also believe that the Cold War started during the First World War but why is that so?

JH: The Cold War was first mentioned in a book by George Orwell called ‘The Atomic Bomb and You’. Before it was just called a Communist Manifesto but then they decided to call it a Cold War after that as it fitted the ‘war’ perfectly.

3^rd slide

Wing Fung: On June 1945 a conference was held in Potsdam to try and smoothen out their relationships but that didn’t turn out very well… Instead it made their relationship a bit more worse since they accused each other for breaking the treaty.

Mason: Since both sides didn’t want to negotiate Winston Churchill referred to this hostility as an ‘Iron Curtain’

JH: On March 1946 at Fulton Missouri, Winston Churchill explained to the public how the USSR and the US failed to reach an agreement. President Truman of the US thought of this as admirable but Stalin regarded this as a confirmation as a threat to the USSR.

4^th slide

Mason: A week before WWII Germany and the Soviets signed a pact called the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact which split Poland between the both of them after Germany invades it. Over the next year and a half the 2 traded vital war materials until Germany broke the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and tried to invade the Soviet’s side of Poland.

5^th slide

Wing Fung: Poland was a very strategic area against the USSR and the US and USSR had been fighting over it. The USSR claimed they were not going to absorb it but make it a free country. However the US wanted Poland back to its rightful owners, The British.

6^th slide

JH: The Cold War didn’t involve actual conflict; it was actually about countries expressing their power and hatred to their enemies. It was a war fought in the shadows and was never officially declared.

Mason: In 194, Britain, France and the US aimed to rebuild Germany’s economy and the democracy on Germany but the USSR refused to help. This angered the US.

7^th slide

Wing Fung: The Soviets believed that the Allied Forces left USSR alone and let them fight Germany alone.

JH: This left the US a really strong impression on the Soviets and this is also the reason of the USSR’s hostility towards the Allied Forces.

8^th slide

Mason: One of the more important areas in the Cold War was an actual war, The Korean War, a free south country with the UN on the side and a communist North with China and Russia.

Wing Fung: The UN brought in troops from countries from the US and even from Ethiopia to fight communism in Korea and stop the invasion.

JH: The war is referred to as the Forgotten War as it is forgotten by many people but in Korea it’s called Yoog ee oo meaning 6-2-5.

9^th Slide

Mason: Although there was a second cold war we won’t go in to much detail on it but it did mainly include the USSR and the US.

10^th slide

Wing Fung: In 1991 the Cold War had finally ended. In the end USSR was fatally weak and therefore on December 25^th of 1991 the Soviet Union was officially dissolved and the Cold War had finally ended.

JH: The picture on the bottom we haven’t talked about it but it’s the Berlin Wall. Once it came tumbling down it marked the near end of the Cold War. The Berlin Wall and many other places show the symbols of the Cold War.

How did fashion change in the 1950’s compared to the 1940’s?
Introduction:
There were huge changes between fashions from 1940s to the 1950s.
In 1940’s there were many different types of clothing that was worn. The main fashion icons were Hollywood stars. There were also other trends like wearing sportswear from a fashion designer called Claire McCardell.
At the end of the 1940’s and during the 1950’s, famous fashion trends were Christian Dior’s ‘The New Look’. Another famous trend was ‘Haute Couture’ which meant that the clothing was costume made, and they are usually used with very expensive materials, and very detailed. Jeans, T-shirts and Leather Jackets were starting to become a trend when lots of stars began to wear it.

In the beginning of the 1940’s, women would have wore working clothes like a jacket with a long skirt and blouse with low heeled shoes. Later in the 1940s, women wore Hollywood treads, which gave ordinary citizens to wear something that made them seem like a star. They also started wearing ‘costume jewellery’. Costume jewellery is jewellery that is used from non expensive materials, which makes them cheap and affordable. Around the mid-40s, the newest fashion changed into sportswear. Claire McCardell was a famous sportswear designer who got many awards for her designs. Her clothes are one of the several designers who used the ‘ready- to- wear’ format, which meant the there were standard sizes for the clothing.

In 1947, Christian Dior created many designs for the ‘New Look’ trend. In 1947, Christian Dior created many designs for the ‘New Look’ trend . Their fashion look was fitted jackets with a nipped in waist and full calf length skirt. It was a totally new look compared to the wartime trend. These clothes are different because they don’t look civilized and looks a lot more feminine.Another trend that was quite famous was the Haute Couture. Haute Couture was clothing that were custom made. These clothing were usually very detailed, and used a lot of time creating the clothing. Another famous designer that was quite well known during the end of 1940s was Cristobal Balenciaga. He was a Spanish designer who was famous for creating designs with kimono sleeves. The kimono sleeve clothing had a wide sleeve, like the kimono dresses from Japan. Also, there was a type of dress that became part of the fashion trend, it was the cocktail dress. Cocktail dresses are semi-formal dresses that are usually worn to evening events. One of the many famous cocktail dress is a dress called ‘Little Black Dress’ by the famous designer, Chanel. Other designers like Cristobal Balenciaga, and Prada also designed many different types of cocktail dress.
In the 1950s, T shirts, Jeans and Leather Jacket were extremely famous. These were popular around the teenagers. Because many stars wore these clothes, people started to follow the fashion. Stars like the famous music artist, Elvis Presley and other people like Marlon Brando.

In the fifties, women generally wore clothes that made them look smart. Dresses were an important bit of their fashion at that time. There were many different types of dresses, like cocktail dresses. Two of the most common types of skirts/dresses are the Pencil Style dresses, and the Swing Skirt. These dresses are usually matched with a pair of heels and a pair of gloves, to complete the look, to look formal and feminine.

The pencil skirt is usually down to the knees, or a bit lower.
As shown in the picture, the dressed more formally than the swing skirt.
The dress is suppose to create a hour glass shaped body
This is a drawing of a woman wearing a swing skirt. There are many types of swing skirts, and one of the types includes the poodle skirt.
As you can see, the swing skirt is a casual skirt to have a tea, or just walking in the streets.
These dresses are good for dancing because it shows movement when dancing.
The Swing Skirt is thin around

American Attitude Towards The Cold War (1)

">

This is the script for our powerpoint......

Justin: Today we are going to talk about the American attitude of the cold war and a little bit on the cold war itself and communism.


Esmond: Things that are happening then. In 1950, the Korean War started, mainly between the Republic of Korea, and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (AKA North Korea). And 3 years later, Dwight D. Eisenhower was elected as the President of the United States of America.


Justin: And on the same year, both North and South Korea signed a cease-fire treaty in July that year, bringing peace on both sides. Also, the Communist Leader of USSR, Joseph Stalin, had also died that same year during the first months of March.


Esmond: Here are some of the highlights of the whole Cold War. Things like the Vietnam War or the Korean War should be known to you.


Justin: Now we will look at Cuba, and what the Americans did to Cuba as a response to the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Cuban Missile Crisis was a confrontation between the Capitalists and the Communists, when Cuba joined the Soviet Union and was persuaded to build a nuclear missile base in Cuba.


Esmond: But when America found out about the Cuban base under construction, the US did everything they could to try to negotiate with the Cuban Government to disarm the missiles. And finally, in 1962, the situation was resolved when the Russian Leader stated that the constructions in Cuba had been issued with new orders to disarm the missile and return to the USSR.



Justin: And in response to this incident, the US set up an economic embargo against Cuba, as a sign of anti-communism, and also a response to the whole crisis.


Esmond: The reason why America is anti-communism is because, the US are capitalists, and that they fear communism will soon spread influence into the western society.


Justin: And with all this anti-communism activity going on, a practice called McCarthyism is becoming more and more common.


Esmond: McCarthyism is a practice that involves people making accusations of treason, disloyalty and other things without any real evidence.


Justin: This practice became more common during the late 1940s to the late 1950s (Also known as the Second Red Scare) when the Communist power in Eastern Europe is strong.


Esmond: More and more people in the US are convinced to join these practices, as the soviet movement in the US is high, and so many people are accusing each other as Russian Spies, or members of the KGB.


Justin: McCarthyism started a while ago, going back to the first red scare, when Joseph McCarthy is not involved. McCarthyism started from the sudden rise of communism, which was known then as a political force. Therefore, the US returned to a firm anti-communism stance after the alliance with the Soviet Union during the Second World War.




Esmond: President Dwight D. Eisenhower shared similar views towards the communists and believed that communism is a slow changing force that is trying to gain dominance against other world powers.


Justin: Eisenhower quoted: "Forces of good and evil are massed and armed and opposed as rarely before in history. Freedom is pitted against slavery, lightness against dark.” This shows his view against communism.


Justin: Americans believed that communism has a lack of freedom, which is a very important factor in part of the American dream. Also, communism lacks human rights, and individuality. So Americans were afraid of corruption and suffering if the US turned communist, so most Americans are against communism.

Agnes: The 1950’s was a decade of change. The world war was in peace (for now) and so people do not dress the way do or what they listen to as they would if there were soldiers and armies around.

Charmaine: People started to do things in new ways, and the birth of Rock and roll played an important role in this decade of time.

Agnes: The 1950’s was also a very important decade for shining stars. In the 1950’s many unforgettable stars were made both in the music and the movie industries, like Audrey Hepburn, Elvis Presley, the Beatles etc.

Slide two:

Charmaine: So how did Rock and roll get its name? It started in Cleveland, Ohio. A disc jockey was introduced to black music and was really intrigued with the beat and the fresh style.

Agnes: He named this style ‘rock and roll’. This DJ’s name was Alan Freed.

Charmaine: In the 1950’s there were a new breed of humans- Teenagers! Girls used to copy their mother’s actions and clothing before the war, but after the war the children wanted to be different and separated from the grown-ups.

Agnes: Listening to Rock and roll did help. The parents Disapproved of Rock and roll, since the lyrics were mostly talking about money, dying….etc. In the 1950’s the teenagers had a lot more time and cash to do what they want.

Charmaine:

• Right sound, right time. for example, people won’t like you much when you sing heavy metal when they like rock.

Fashion powerpoint of 'How did the fashion change through the 1950's' By Kimmy, Christine and ELlen

Fashion Powerpoint

Ellen, Christine and kimmy's 'how did the fashion change throughout the 1950's project' (script) :)

Kimmy: Hello today we are going to talk about how fashion changed in the 1950’s. I am the presenter and Ellen, Christine, Monika, Crystal are the models. Hello ladies and gentle men today I am here to show you our new collection for the new season. Fashion changes from season to season and year to year. Each season fashion brings in a new color and a new style. Fashion is not just limited to the female society, but men too have been taken over by the fashion world. Many things can influence fashion. For example designers like Mary Quant, Biba and celebrities like Madonna. Music also has a great impact on fashion. If a famous singer wears a particular style, a lot of their fans will be influenced to wear the same.

Until the 50’s, teenagers didn’t have a say on anything. They were legally adults at the age of 21 and that was when they were married and had homes. It was like a way to show they belonged. But during 1950 a range of media influenced teenagers everywhere. Soon these young teens had their own styles, scenes, music and more.

American influence on European teenagers was huge. Rock n’ Roll idols including Elvis Presley, Bill Hayley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and film stars like James Dean and Marlon Brando set fashions almost unwittingly. But the main looks for teens were the Greasers and Preppies.

-Christine enters-

Kimmy: Greasers followed the standard black leather and denim jeans look set by Marlon Brando in "The Wild One" (1953) and later defined in the 1978 film called "Grease". They often had motorbikes and were referred to as rebels.

-Ellen enters-

Kimmy: Preppies were qualities neat, tidy and groomed. Teen girls wore full circular skirts with large designs on their clothing. Neat pleated skirts were also popular. The pleated skirts were made from a new fabric called terylene in other words, polyester, which helped maintain razor sharp sunray pleating. The skirts were supported by bouffant paper nylon or net petticoats. On top, teens wore scoop neck blouses, back to front cardigans, tight polo necks or three quarter sleeve white fitting shirts often with a scarf knotted cowboy fashion at the side neck.

Kimmy: Then came the teddy boys!

*enter crystal*

Until 1951 the Edwardian look suits were custom made, But In August 1951 reports state that the Edwardian look was gaining support in America. By November 1951 the Edwardian look had gone to the UK factory tailoring trade as a new trend.

By 1952 in London's East End this fashion was taken on by semi skilled formed groups, who lurked in cafes and hung around street corners. The style gave them group identity and so they were called Teddy Boys. Even though some groups were violent, many who wore Teddy Boy clothes were not. They simply wished to break away from the original clothes of the day. But Teddy Boy clothes were not cheap to buy and when custom tailored, usually cost up to £100 for one outfit.

Traditionally Teddy Boys wore the "Drape" a long knee length, single breasted wool jacket with cuffs either of velvet or satin and lots of pockets. They wore matching narrow drainpipe trousers, brocade waistcoats, stiff shirts and bootlace slim Jim ties topped off with suede shoes. They also included crepe soled shoes which helped with ‘jiving’.

*enter monika*

Elegance was an important factor for fifties fashion. Hollywood also had a major role to play in influencing the 1950’s clothing. These patterns and designs were splashed across glamour magazines such as Vogue and Women’s Weekly. Flowers, stripes, spots and abstract shapes all became a part of the fifties fashion. Waists became narrow as is seen in most movies and garments were fitted at the waist area. Flared skirts and dainty flared dresses were seen as a distinguishing mark of this period. Hollywood actors such as Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly became the style icons for this period.

Christine: Hi, I am a greaser. I am wearing a white/black t with my sleeves rolled up. A leather jacket and baggy work trousers which were called baggie grays, baggie blues, or sandbags. I go everywhere on my motorcycle with these awesome motorcycle boots. My accessories include a bandanna, sunglasses, and a comb. This hairstyle is called the Duck’s Ass. The Duck's Ass is a hairstyle that was popular during the 1950s. It was also called the Duck's Tail, the Ducktail, in the UK Duck’s Arse, or simply just D.A. Tattoos became more popular amongst greasers around 1957 especially butterfly ones.
