B is correct

Explanation: 1917 (Bolshevik revolution in Russia) had enormous influence in Europe and Latin America. Communist parties were found all over the world. But, perhaps surprisingly, Anglo-saxon world was almost untouched by it. Later, fascination by 1917 was complemented by Russian victory in the WW II. Many atributed this victory to the "new Communist regime" or "homo sovieticus". Jalta conference gave USSR decisive influence a big part of Europe and Communist ideas were getting closer and closer to the USA. Truman´s doctrine and doctrine of containment were formulated and implemented. Red scare was one of the accompanying phenomena of that time. Paranoia entered American politics as well McCarthysm (named because of Missouri senator Joseph McCarthy) from late 1940s through the 1950s. USA of that time was dominated by a great wave of anti-Communism.

music always has an important role in culture and societies, infact for example rock’n roll music has conditioned different areas of pop culture above all in the 60s. in the modern american society its role is different.

unfortunately many think about how some unfortunate events happened to the columbine high school shootings can be related to rock music just because the teenagers involved listened to this kind of music.

i think that we can valorize the change to take refuge in this genre of music to keep on in everyday life, teenagers are comfortable when they can listen to a song about a specific problem. realizing that someone else is living your personal drama too can them to feel less lonely nowadays.

must repent and believe in god.
