The document summarizes the Prohibition Era in the United States from 1920 to 1933. During this time, the sale and production of alcohol was banned nationwide. However, many people still wanted alcohol which led to the rise of organized crime groups like the mafia who smuggled and sold illegal alcohol. Speakeasies also opened as underground bars where people could purchase and consume alcohol. The ban on alcohol ultimately failed and was lifted in 1933.

Reverend billy
Reverend Billy is an activist character created by Bill Talen who leads the Church of Stop Shopping in protests against consumerism and corporations. Through public performances, Reverend Billy educates people about issues like low wages for overseas workers, corporate influence on politics, and the role of banks and companies in climate change. His tactics include preaching at large stores like Disney and Starbucks to bring attention to their practices. While sometimes arrested, Reverend Billy has succeeded in passing some bills and influencing companies like getting Ethiopia exclusive rights over its coffee trademarks with Starbucks. His goal is to raise awareness of social and environmental problems caused by capitalism.
Fall of the essex boys
The film The Fall of the Essex Boys was produced by Jonathan Sothcott, an independent British film producer. It was directed by Paul Tanter and distributed in the UK by Metrodome Distribution. The film has an all-British cast and crew and tells the true story of the Essex Boys gang, known for drugs, violence and crime in Essex, England in the 1990s. It aims to portray these events accurately for audiences in Essex while potentially stereotyping England for international viewers.
Representation of ethnicity in TV drama
This document discusses the representation of ethnicity in television dramas. It notes that ethnicity is often portrayed through stereotypes, such as associating black people with crime or white people as greedy. However, the document analyzes a clip from the TV show Skins where a Muslim father accepts his son's gay friend without judgment, challenging the stereotype of Muslim communities opposing homosexuality. This subverts expectations by not depicting the typical stereotypical views that may be associated with Muslims.
Shifty
Metrodome spent £50,000 promoting the film "Shifty" through different means to attract two audiences: independent cinema-goers and a younger urban audience interested in films like "Kidulthood" and "Adulthood". They produced different trailers with and without hip hop music, advertised on pirate radio stations, distributed illegal fly posters and business cards depicting the main character as a drug dealer, and sent viral emails that were later banned but generated publicity. The film tells an interwoven story of a man returning home after years away and putting the main character "Shifty" in danger from lies told by another character, building to a surprising climax and resolution.
Representattion of race
The document discusses representation of ethnicity in British TV dramas. It notes that shows like Downton Abbey featured few non-white characters, reflecting Britain's history as predominantly white. However, more recent shows like Undercover feature black families in leading roles, representing progress in diversity. The document also discusses how media can perpetuate stereotypes of different ethnic groups and prioritize certain races, for better or worse. It argues media should promote diverse representation to foster acceptance across generations.
Urban America, Prohibition, And The 20s Woman
The document discusses how the spread of the automobile in America led to major changes in infrastructure and housing development, with new paved roads, towns along roads, and homes being built with garages. It also describes how Prohibition in the United States from 1920 to 1933 banned the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages, though underground illegal markets still operated, with organized crime figures like Al Capone controlling speakeasies and bootlegging in cities like Chicago during this period.
04.03 cultural changes 1920s photo story
The document discusses several cultural changes that occurred in the United States during the 1920s. Women took on new roles outside of the home, gaining the right to vote and entering the workforce as teachers, nurses, and social workers. Prohibition led to increased crime as gangsters illegally produced and sold alcohol. The Harlem Renaissance saw African American culture flourish through art, music, and literature. Fundamentalists were concerned by the country shifting away from traditional values towards new technology and entertainment. Radio technology advanced, with news, music, and sports broadcasts keeping people informed and entertained.

Economically, the country prospered after WWI as Europeans paid back loans and Germany paid reparations, while Henry Ford's assembly line made cars more affordable. Socially, new technologies like radios and movies became popular, and women gained more freedom as flappers. However, not all groups shared equally in prosperity, and the decade also saw a rise in nativism as expressed by the KKK's resurgence and passage of national origin quotas severely restricting immigration.
Organized crime

It describes how gangs formed to aid the illegal bootlegging of alcohol, with prominent gang leaders including Al Capone and Charles Luciano.

Next, it examines the 1993 film Scarface and how it was influenced by the cocaine trade and gang culture of 1980s Miami. Finally, it discusses the 1990s film Menace II Society and how it represented the rise of black and Hispanic gang culture influenced by events like the East Coast-West Coast rap feud. Over the decades, gangster films have mirrored real-life changes in gangster culture through their evolving depictions of violence, criminal activities, and racial tensions.

During the 1920s, many Americans migrated from rural towns to cities, where urban life offered more opportunities and excitement. As a result, Prohibition led to the rise of illegal speakeasies selling alcohol in hidden locations. Powerful criminal organizations like Al Capone's grew and thrived by supplying the demand, using violence and corruption. Prohibition was ultimately repealed with the passage of the 21st Amendment in 1933, allowing states to set their own alcohol laws again.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
