Why do questions about being a polygamist or an anarchist seem out of place?

1 answer:

Polygamy is having more than one wife or husband at once, and anarchism is the rejection of the state or any other type of authority when organizing human societies.

Both types of behaviour are frowned upon by our society, to the point that they can be considered taboo. A taboo is an implicit (although sometimes it can be explicit, like through the enactment of a law) prohibition of something, because it is believed that the act goes against the agreed cultural or religious beliefs of a community. Establishing those kind of limits helps communities to be more organized and to have a stronger sense of "belonging." On the other hand, it can isolate those who think differently and cause the community to be closed to new ideas.

Historical context for “prohibition” during the 1920s and what happened during that movement ( write a lot of detail)

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Prohibition Historical Context

Explanation:

The 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution–which banned the manufacture, transportation and sale of intoxicating liquors–ushered in a period in American history known as Prohibition. Prohibition was ratified by the states on January 16, 1919 and officially went into effect on January 17, 1920, with the passage of the Volstead Act. Despite the new legislation, Prohibition was difficult to enforce. The increase of the illegal production and sale of liquor (known as “bootlegging”), the proliferation of speakeasies (illegal drinking spots) and the accompanying rise in gang violence and other crimes led to waning support for Prohibition by the end of the 1920s. In early 1933, Congress adopted a resolution proposing a 21st Amendment to the Constitution that would repeal the 18th. The 21st Amendment was ratified on December 5, 1933, ending Prohibition.
