Cold+War


 * not an actual "war"
 * was between Russia and the United States
 * nuclear arms race
 * history books say that no one was killed in it, but weren't some spies killed?

The Zooks and the Yooks did not get along because they had different ideologies (which way to spread butter on bread)
 * a. Why do you think the Zooks and Yooks did not get along? **

Each side trying to get better weapons than the other caused this conflict to get worse.
 * b. What do you think caused this conflict to get worse? **

This happens with friends and siblings when two or more of you have different points of view on something; there are always arguments.
 * c. How do you think this happens with your friends or siblings? **

They could have left each other alone and minded their own businesses to prevent this conflict.
 * d. What do you think the Zooks and Yooks could have done differently to prevent this conflict? **

Each of the sides teach their children growing up that the others' way of life is wrong and that butter should be spread //their// own way, not the others'. There was also one point where everyone on either side was insulting those of the other and calling them things.
 * e. In the story, each side uses propaganda to make their side seem like the right side. Give some examples from the movie/book. **

This story tells you that when two societies are brought up being taught that another certain society's way of life is wrong, there are going to be problems and conflicts, just as there were with the US and Russia during the Cold War.
 * f. What does the story tell you about the Cold War? **

My ending to the story would be to have both sides come to some sort of agreement; not to suddenly become "best friends" or allies, but to at least live in peace with each other, with no more violence.
 * g. What would be your ending to the story? **
