The Rise of the Internet, the End of the Cold War, and the ‘Rachel’ Hairdo
Summary
In the era that laid the foundation for today’s mass communication and entertainment, America emerged as a global player despite challenges at home. This talk examines the contrasting perceptions of the U.S. during the ‘90s, including its role in the new world order, civil unrest, domestic terrorism, economic prosperity, initiatives like ‘The Contract With America’, and the television show ‘Friends’.
