Mini-class: “How Policy Shapes Culture – A Case Study of Prohibition”

This bite-sized course explores how U.S. policy decisions—specifically alcohol prohibition—have shaped American culture, public perception, and systemic structures. Using the 18th Amendment and its repeal as a case study, learners will examine how moral movements become law, how laws impact behavior and economy, and how those impacts echo into modern times. Perfect for students, educators, activists, and curious citizens seeking to better understand the feedback loop between culture and policy.
