"In adopting some form of prohibition legislation during World War I, the United States was far from unique. Partial liquor cont

rol measures . . . had been enacted by many countries during the war, and some of the new drink regulations lasted permanently. But in its effort to totally eradicate the use of intoxicating liquor, the United States stood alone among major industrialized nations. The moral fervor of evangelical Protestants had intersected with the Progressive reform wave and the institutional openings provided by the war. Combined with political representation weighted heavily to rural districts and the limited political power of the law’s targets, the antiliquor crusaders were able to rewrite the Constitution and federal law." Lisa McGirr, historian, The War on Alcohol: Prohibition and the Rise of the American State, 2016 Using the excerpt, answer (a), (b), and (c). Briefly describe ONE piece of evidence used in the excerpt to support the argument made in the excerpt. Briefly explain how ONE piece of evidence not mentioned in the excerpt could be used to support, modify, or refute the argument in the excerpt. Briefly explain ONE way the process discussed in the excerpt compares with the earlier reform movements at the time of the Second Great Awakening.

a)

The main claim of the passage is that, by implementing Prohibition, the United States took a step that was much more extreme and permanent than any of those that had been taken in other industrialized nations in connection with alcohol. The evidence that supports this argument is the fact that such legislation was included in the Constitution and in federal law.

b)

A piece of evidence that would help support the argument in the excerpt would be a list of measures that other countries took in respect to the topic of alcohol consumption. This would allow us to compare different measures between countries more easily.

c)

One way in which the process discussed in the passage compares with earlier reform movements is in the relentlessness and tirelessness of the people who encouraged reform. Both reform movements attempted to achieve great goals, and to influence federal legislation permanently.

Answer:

The American employees were more concerned about privacy.

Explanation:

Taken care of expertly, this can offer short-and long haul benefits for your working relationship and the organization.

By the day's end, an open-entryway strategy tells individuals they are free to come to you with questions or concerns and thus can build up a positive workplace.

2008 (B) - #5: Compare and contrast technology and attitudes of Americans in the 1920s and 1950s
Vsevolod [243]

Answer

Hi,

Technology applied to automotive was simple. Cars in both the 1920s and 1950s had four wheels and carried people from places to places. However, the shape of the cars in the 1950s was build up and more stylish as compared to cars in the 1920s.

Telephone technology in the 1920s and 1950s both could call out and get called in. The difference was in size where the 1950s model was short with a chubby body where as those in the 1920s were long and with a skinny body.

Technology for wash machines in the 1920s and 1950s both achieved the goal of washing and cleaning cloths and only women were involved in both times. However, the difference in both body structure was visible to the machines of 1950s that resembled a big box with a window to view cloths.

Hope this Helps!
