How have Traditional Beliefs Clashed with Modern Ideas in the 1920s? Ever since Prohibition has been put into place, modern and traditional beliefs have clashed majorly. People with modern ideas have been going to questionable lengths to get drunk, poisoning themselves and getting alcohol from questionable sources while people who are more traditional just judge them. People with traditional beliefs think that Prohibition is a good idea, but people with modern beliefs know otherwise. Traditional people don’t see the huge issue on banning alcohol and don’t understand why people are making a huge fuss about Prohibition. Modern people can’t live without their alcohol and are going to extreme lengths to get it, even poisoning themselves on accident by drinking products with alcohol in them with hope to get drunk. The traditional people have accidently lead to the deaths of people with modern beliefs. Prohibition is getting out of control, alcohol is impossible to stop. Literally millions of alcohol and liquor are being sold. People are finding other ways to sell it without even getting caught. Also they’re people carrying alcohol in their boots, it’s insane. People who carry alcohol in there boots are called bootleggers. Prohibition led directly to the rise of organized crime. Throughout America the act established in 1920’s was unforgettable illegal activities surrounding the U.S are years of uncontrolled crime are spread out everywhere on the Chicago streets. No one is safe during this law, not because the citizens, the federal government who established what we call Prohibition are not enforcing causing millions of Americans who hate the law. The law is not the issue, it’s corruption, Americans are corrupted, they even go behind the governments back, this causes illegal activities after they buy booze from Canada, after they smuggle it into the United States, the alcohol is illegal to sell in public so the market used by the most dangerous people is used to sell alcohol, still many Americans are neglective to stop drinking, this is not just a bad idea, it’s dangerous, the streets are roamed by the most dangerous gangs, it isn’t just gang fights, it’s massive murder sprees, as the murders are devastating to see, as well as nobody can forget these mass murders, 400 murders have been counted in a year as well as no one can stop this, law enforcements are paid to look the other way. Corruption can’t get worse, the doctors are prescribing medicine containing alcohol to anyone who asks. Traditional beliefs were the thoughts that made a group of people think prohibition of alcohol was a good idea because it would lower crime and make a healthier happier society. On the other hand, modernists are against the whole prohibition act. They see it as sinful because they refer this from Jesus turning water into wine. It’s best not to get in the way of these people. They will do seriously anything to get some alcohol, even possibly poisoning themselves. They seem to not care about the consequences of their action. While modernists are killing themselves, traditionalists are trying save them. Although traditionalists are angry with the modernists, misbehaving with their nonsense, who's to say their not bad people themselves? The traditionalists might also be responsible for all these riots and provoking these gangs. But either way, we can say these ideas have clashed and society is crashing.
