Post-WWI Cultural Conflicts
Prohibition had unintended consequences on society such as increased bootlegging and the rise of organized crime led by figures like Al Capone. Racial tensions increased after WWI with race riots in several cities. The Scopes Trial in 1925 was a highly publicized court case that pitted religious fundamentalism against the teaching of evolution in schools. The resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s targeted minorities, immigrants, and others as its membership grew to over 4 million. Efforts like the NAACP and Garvey Movement worked to advance civil rights but discrimination continued.

A small radical fringe element within the Australian Muslim community engages in provocative and sometimes violent protests, damaging the image of Muslims. These fringe groups like Al-Furqan and Hizb ut-Tahrir involve only a few dozen or hundred people but receive disproportionate media attention. Mainstream Muslim leaders work closely with police to address extremism and support rehabilitation efforts, demonstrating that Australian Muslims are well integrated and do not widely support extremist views.

ABCD Model: Bronzeville/Kenwood
Historical and Cultural Assets
The most important asset to the Bronzeville community and to the neighborhood Little Black Pearl is located in is its rich history dating back to the early 1900’s of Chicago’s lifetime. As a community Bronzeville was the Chicago equivalent of Harlem, New York in terms of its prestige, social capital, housing stock and its plethora of significant black political, spiritual and cultural leaders. After discussing the past of Bronzeville with Jitu Brown of the Kenwood-Oakland Community Organization I learned of the amazing importance of Bronzeville as a center of the African American community. Not only was it a place of black success and knowledge but also identity and empowerment. Many artists, writers and entrepreneurs that would be icons of the African American community resided here or spent much of their time being engaged in the neighborhood. Locally owned black businesses thrived here as well as the press, the arts and education. Contained in the neighborhood were the Sutherland Ballroom and the Palm Tavern. These were both Jazz Clubs visited frequently by Miles Davis and Louis Armstrong in their heyday according to Brown. Certain landmarks and important black leaders in Chicago derive their experience or residence from this community as well. The late and very important first black Mayor Harold Washington was from Bronzeville and there is even a cultural center in his name built on 47th avenue. This is a great asset to the community. Margaret Burroughs, founder of the Dusable Museum, the museum of African American history, grew up in Bronzeville and graduated from the Dusable high school. The museum itself, established over 50 years ago, is a landmark in itself and even more of a historical and cultural asset to the community. The house of Ida B. Wells, civil rights and suffragist leader, still stands as a landmark in the Bronzeville neighborhood and Bronzeville is home to an immeasurably treasured past and contains the very strands of history that could help to create a surge of culture and social capital. All of this rich history contains in it the potential for great development and strength. By using the roots of the neighborhood could be a great uplifting factor and increase the perceived capacities of the people and the community itself.

Little Black Pearl has a vision to help younger adults struggling in school and to provide them with several opportunities to benefit themselves. Little Black Pearl is located in the northern neighborhood of Kenwood on the Southside of Chicago. At first I was a bit frightened for my safety traveling to the school. It seems as though almost every other day one hears about a shooting on the Southside of Chicago. As I continued to volunteer at Little Black Pearl, my assumptions slowly turned around.

Kurt's Poster
The NoDa neighborhood in Charlotte, North Carolina originated as a mill village in the early 1900s. The mills closed between the 1950s-1970s, leading to economic decline. In the late 1980s, art studios began moving into old mill buildings, launching the area's transformation into an arts district. Today, the neighborhood faces pressures of gentrification as new development replaces historical structures. The document examines how NoDa has preserved its history amidst urban changes and what lessons can apply to other neighborhoods.

The document summarizes the history of "Black Wall Street", a once thriving African American community in Tulsa, Oklahoma that was destroyed in the 1921 Tulsa race riot. It describes how Black Wall Street had over 600 black-owned businesses and was a model of black prosperity, before being burned to the ground by white mobs in a period of less than 12 hours. Over 800 people were injured, 10,000 left homeless, and 35 city blocks containing over 1,000 residences and businesses were destroyed by fire and bombing from airplanes. The riot left 3,000 African Americans dead and destroyed one of the most affluent black communities in America at the time.

Disney and US Imperialism
Cultural Imperialism
Imperialism can be defined as the guiding principle of broadening a nation's power by the acquiring of other countries, or by the formation of financial and political authority over other nations.
Cultural
imperialism can then be defined as the cultural impact of imperialism. This can mean many different things, as culture is such a broad term. When looking at popular culture and cultural imperialism, it is important to look again at the concept of dominant culture. The dominant culture is created, controlled, and spread by the ruling class. The ruling class refers to those individuals or corporations with the most economic power and cultural influence. The political actions of a nation, or the values and beliefs of a society, could be examples of cultural elements that are affected by cultural imperialism, and that is what is being referred to in this lecture.
The Commodification of American Culture
The global power of American culture has been in full effect since the 19th century, when distinctly American commodities were exchanged with other nations on an increasingly large scale. These consumer products ended up being sold in countries such as Britain, or other Western European countries, and this helped to spread dominant American culture. With the advent of mass media, particularly radio and television broadcasting, American consumerist culture was further circulated throughout the world. American cultural commodities, such as films, cars, fast food, music, etc., have increased American influence on an international scale. In turn, some of the commodities produced by the United States since the 1950's have arguably become symbolic of American culture.
Coca-cola
, McDonalds, and Disney products have gained international recognition of what America represents, and this is problematic for a number of reasons. Most importantly, consumer products, or the ideologies that are attached to them, should not ultimately define American culture. Unfortunately, people from nations that have no direct knowledge of American people or their values, have developed opinions about the United States that are based upon capitalism, and its products.
Consumerism and Identity
Regardless of whether the ideologies, or beliefs that have become attached to popular commodities have been placed there intentionally or not, the "cultural work" that these American products perform must be examined. This "cultural work" functions by implying to audiences, or consumers, of cultural products, that they should think or feel a certain way, and that buying this consumer product ultimately means that the consumer is buying into the ideology attached to it. For example, McDonalds is known around the world, and there is a McDonalds restaurant in nearly every country in the world today.
The beliefs attached to McDonalds' products on the surface reveal family values, fun, and enjoyment. However, underneath th.
Globalisation
Globalization refers to the increasing distribution of goods and services through reduced trade barriers. It allows for cheaper consumer products and has the potential to reduce poverty, but could also perpetuate inequality. Cultural globalization is the increasing standardization of culture worldwide through the faster exchange of ideas, which could lead to a loss of local culture and traditions. America is a top producer of popular culture goods that are distributed globally.

What We Say WITHOUT Words: A Workshop on Nonverbal Communication
What We Say WITHOUT Words: A Workshop on Nonverbal CommunicationBoston College Center for Corporate Citizenship
Corporate citizenship often requires you to influence colleagues and community partners. You have honed your program messages, but have you thought about the other messages you may be conveying?
Audiences extract meaning from both non-verbal and verbal symbols: Stance, eye contact, gestures, vocal quality and inflection, pitch, pace, use of pauses, linguistic choices, and so forth. Presenters typically give less thought to non-verbal communication than to message content, even though non-verbal symbols often carry as much—or more—meaning.
This interactive workshop focuses on how we express our ideas, with particular attention to non-verbal messaging. Through exercises and discussion, participants will:
be able to identify visual and vocal symbols that communicate confidence and authority;
understand the capacity of non-verbal messages to enhance and strengthen the verbal message or, alternatively, to contradict and obscure the message; and
identify linguistic strategies that advance the speaker's goals.

The article discusses Portland's rejection of adding fluoride to its water supply through a special election in 2013. Portlanders voted 61% against water fluoridation after a campaign that spread misleading information. Opponents believed fluoride was an industrial byproduct and worried about forcing toxins into the body. They also cited medical professionals who argued fluoride could harm bones, brain, thyroid and the immune system. While some limitations exist, the article shows how Portlanders overwhelmingly protected their clean water supply from fluoridation.

The 1920s weren’t just gin joints and jazz. Anti-immigrant racism was all the
rage.
By Lisa McGirr
Ms. McGirr is a professor of history at Harvard and the author of “The War on Alcohol:
Prohibition and the Rise of the American State.”
Jan. 16, 2019
On Jan. 16, 1919, Nebraska became the 36th state to ratify the 18th Amendment
to the Constitution, which banned the manufacture, sale, import or
transportation of intoxicating liquors. The Prohibition era had begun.
Prohibition looms large in the national imagination even today as the era of
gangsters and gin joints. Less often do we reflect on what motivated the country
to adopt it and maintain it for 14 years. While the country faced a real problem of
excessive drinking, powerful anti-immigrant hostility is what drove this
monumental act of constitutional overreach.
Today, as we find ourselves in the midst of another fight over immigration, it is
worth revisiting the role that nativism played in driving, and later enforcing,
Prohibition. The consequences of that battle reverberated for decades to come. It
sparked a vast expansion of the repressive capacities of the federal government
and a rise of right-wing extremism, led by a revived Ku Klux Klan. It also forged
a new political coalition that would bring ethnic working-class voters into the
Democratic Party, where they would remain for much of the century.
How Prohibition Fueled the Klan
https://www.nytimes.com/
Temperance and Prohibition had been popular causes throughout the 19th
century, but supporters didn’t reach a critical mass until the era of mass
immigration at the turn of the century. With more than a million men and women
coming to the United States in 1907 alone, anti-liquor crusaders railed against a
“foreign invasion of undeveloped races.” The boisterous drinking culture of the
ubiquitous working-class saloon, dominated by immigrant men, seemed to make
manifest the dangers mass immigration posed to a white native Protestant
American way of life.

By Lisa McGirr

“foreign invasion of undeveloped races.” The boisterous drinking culture of the
