This article[edit]

Is not about the broader Cold War Legacies, it's about all things nuclear. The problem with that is that there's already a sub-article for that. There's really nothing how the left overs from the Cold War impacted world politics, or UN cooperation, or trade, or military instability in third world countries. There are other things, but that's just for starters. Hires an editor (talk) 15:15, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]


I agree with the earlier comment. Fatalities attributable to the "cold" war are always in the millions, and by estimates even in the 20-25 million range worldwide, and so a notable omission from any page on the legacies of the cold war.

Nuclear, Security, Radiation Legacies[edit]

Please explain how these three things can't be combined into one thing? They're all about the same thing, with very fine shadings of difference between them. They should be written in summary style. This page isn't the place to make such fine distinctions. Hires an editor (talk) 16:36, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian kids not worried about nuclear war?[edit]

I've removed this from § Psychological legacies, because the claim doesn't seem to be supported by the article (at least the abstract) and seems self-contradictory: i.e, "not present outside American society" vs. " 58% of the [Canadian] kids interviewed reported fearing nuclear war".

Paragraph removed from article

Alternatively, a study conducted by researchers in Canada confirmed that the fear of nuclear threats was not present outside American society. The study was conducted by a group of researchers, including Dr. Susan Goldberg, Suzanne LaCombe, Dr. Davora Levinson, Dr. K. Ross Parker, Dr. Christopher Ross, and Dr. Frank Sommers. The researchers found that 58% of the kids interviewed reported fearing nuclear war.[1] The studies indicated that over half of the adolescent populous interviewed were cognizant of the current political climate. The study also revealed that individuals who reported a worry about nuclear war also felt a more overwhelming sense of helplessness and general anxiety about events than those who did not report feeling anxious about a nuclear war.[1]
