Prompt: When studying the Cold War, it become apparent that the 1946-1960 was an extremely turbulent time. And yet, when we think of the 1950s, we typically think of the idyllic American life: Suburban row houses, white pickets fences, the nuclear family. Write an essay in which you reconcile these two aspects of the 1950s. How does Cold War paranoia produce the nuclear family? Does that paranoia seep into other elements of domestic life?
