Prohibition of Alcohol

Q1

            Creative thinking in life is one of the important approaches that can be used to solve problems in any place.  Over the past decades, creative thing has been used by organizations and the states so as to have the best solutions in the solutions based on their businesses in a way that they will create the success of the organization.  Despite the flourish of the use of creative thinking, it has also had its challenges which are connected with the lack of adherence to the rules that are linked to the creative thinking. This good example on the challenge and the failure of creative thinking has been the trial of passing the prohibition law by the Congress which aimed to forbid the selling of alcohol in America. The trial was only a way of lessening the crimes and making sure that the youths lived comfortably.  This trial failed and ended up as there was no clear show of creative thinking.

Q2

            The prohibition of alcohol in America was meant to lessen the crimes, fight corruption, solve communal challenges, and lessens the tax burden that was formed in the prisons and mainly to advance the health of the Americans. This trial to make a change in America was not successful   due to the fact that law of the prohibition of alcohol was not solved in a creative manner and this made it a failure.  This can be explained that the law makers approached the benefits of the alcohol such as the economic benefits which showed that the prohibition of alcohol would doom the economy benefits of America. The importance on the prohibition still exist as America still have the debate on War on illegal drugs and has put endless efforts on the reduction of tobacco, alcohol, cases of abortion and some black market jobs.  Although the use of alcohol had failed at the start on the debate on the prohibition, it has currently increased.  It has become a challenge in that it has increased crimes and corruption (Arnold, 2011). 

                        The prohibition caused huge source of tax and has also led to the spending of the government’s money and it has also caused people to engage in dangerous behaviors that they would have not encountered if the prohibition was approved.  The First World War gave the important approach of support to the prohibition while the Great Depression also gave its highlights of support.  Those who supported the prohibition stated that banning of alcohol would make sure that America would prosper while law and the regulations of the country would be followed. Those who were against the prohibition said that there was no reason to prohibit it as they would provide jobs, make the economy to improve and increase the revenues as this was influenced by the factors of the unlawful liquor firm.  The depression also led to the diminishing of the support of the prohibition although the earlier supporters of the prohibition were the employers of many organizations as they believed that it would up surge the discipline of the workers and the productivity in the organizations (Arnold, 2011). 

            The failure of the prohibition caused the lessening of the economy of America and this made people to believe that prohibition of alcohol was disrespectful to the law.  This can be called lack of creative thinking in that the law based on the prohibition underlies what happened during the prohibition of alcohol.  The main aim of the prohibition was to lessen the use of alcohol and mainly reduce the total alcohol consumption.  The failure caused the increased use of alcohol mainly to the middle class people (Arnold, 2011).   

Q3

            As the prohibition of alcohol has failed, there are some solutions that have to be carried out.  This is the lessening of drinking age.  This can be a possible solution to the challenge. This is a matter that states that the minimum age of consumption of alcohol will determine the age in which the young people will become mature enough to take the adult accountabilities.  The lack of support on the issue reflects the different and less changes on the ages for other manners.  This is the age based on the sexual engagement of the youths, buying of contraceptives and having marriage without engaging their parents and other bad behaviors (Tracy, 2004). 

            Some of the young people have differences in their drinking ways in that some are lawfully while others are unlawfully to drink.  One of the major reasons to this would be the informal networks where the young youths experience no hardships in consuming alcohol.  Another major reason would be the availability of these young people where they have the ease to move around the country so as to consume alcohol. The act on lessening the age of consumption did not approach the alcohol behaviors and challenges.  The lessening of the age of alcohol consumption is a solution to the American way of prohibition.  The consumption of alcohol is dangerous as it results in changing the behaviors of many youths and causing crimes in the social society.  Thus all the young people should be protected from alcohol consumption according to this act (Tracy, 2004).
