Questions I would Ask People


For my interview, I would need to interview some people who lived during the cold war. I will interview people like my grandfather who served in World War II and my uncles who served in Vietnam as well as my Mom and Dad who remember the nuclear bomb drills they did in school during the Cold War. Some questions I would ask.

1) In school what was taught about the Soviet Union and communism?
2) Does any Propaganda stick out in your mind from that time?
3) Were you as a person afraid of the Soviet Union?
4) As a reader, could you decipher what was propaganda and what was not?
5) Did you know the government was putting out propaganda?
6) What was some of your thoughts about Joseph McCarthy and his Team used to root out “traitors”?
7) Did your parents ever talked about the Soviet Union to you?
8) As growing up did you ever remember seeing Propaganda in any form? Did you believe this?
9) Over seas, was there propaganda about the Soviets or United States Present?
10) What was the atmosphere like during the Cuban Missile Crisis? What were your views? Did this affect your life?

These are only a few questions I could ask. I like being able to ask my grand parents about more political issues and then talk to my parents or uncles about things they saw when they were little and how they affected them and what were they taught. i am looking in responses that may even be laced with popaganda or to find out a source to where the government was feeding propaganda to the masses
