Is gunpowder used in war today?
There are two kinds of gunpowder, "black powder" and "smokeless powder." I put them in quotes because all gunpowder is black, and all of it smokes when it burns.
Both are used in modern warfare.
Black powder is primarily used as a delay element in other explosives. If you want to build an explosive device that has a time delay between initiating the explosion and the explosion occurring - hand grenades are a prime example - you put a column of black powder between the initiator and the explosive.
Smokeless powder is the propellant in every rifle, shotgun, pistol, shoulder-fired rocket, artillery round, etc., etc., etc., used in the world today.

How was the Cold War reflected in popular culture of the time?
Bear in mind that the Cold War lasted for 45 years (1945 - 1990) and was a huge, global phenomenon, which included the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Berlin Airlift, and countless other conflicts, large and small, so the influence on popular culture was enormous, and too complicated for me to summarize. The James Bond movie, "From Russia With Love" is a good place to start, to get a feeling of how the Cold War influenced popular culture. The looming specter of the USSR was an ever present threat. Everyone worried about nuclear war. Many science fiction novels were written, in which the Cold War escalated to a catastrophic WW III. Satirical songs were composed (Tom Lehrer composed a beautiful song,
"So long mom, I'm off to drop the bomb, so don't wait up for me!"). The Beatles composed a kind of anti-Cold War song, "Back In The USSR" (which was very shocking). There was a lot of anti-war music inspired specifically by the Vietnam War (see for example "The War Is Over" by Phil Ochs). There were paranoid anti-communist witch hunts, there were pro-communist terrorist groups such as the Bader-Meinhoff gang, and so forth. The ramifications were endless.
