In America, you had a lot of cultural revolution going around. Women called "flappers" were one of the defining characteristics of the American '20s.

1920s was post ww2 in america it was a time of great happiness in america (up until 1929) however they were repressed by social programs like prohibition, which caused mass crime and mafias to spring up everywhere

You could say that the '20s in America were really going against cultural norms.

| Violating Prohibition would be unlawful protest. |

Except that he probably meant to say "ww1" instead of "ww2."

Can be looked at either way. People definitely broke the law, but I'd suggest looking at the law itself.
The founding fathers, such as Thomas Jefferson, saw the necessity of the separation of church and state. While no religious organization specifically caused the law to pass, this was during the time of the 2nd Great Awakening and influential religious movements.
Yes, alcohol could be bad for any individual, but the force of religious figures and people advocating for social reform was definitely a large one in the role of prohibition and attempting to change the behavior of individuals.
Legislating morality becomes problematic in this sense. Morality belongs in the churches, synagogues, family homes, etc., and the government put a law in place that substitutes personal individual liberties and self-determination for State control of individual habits, a habit that happened to be a very traditional one. |

Yeah, women did play a large role but groups such as the Women's Christian Temperance Union and the Anti-Saloon League, and each had religious influence.
The ASL was a more key player in getting prohibition passed than the WCTU, however, even the ASL in the beginning appealed to local churches to get a following.
I think the larger issue of the time was attempting to legislate morality by a body that didn't really have a role in doing so. |

I'm just going to point out here that the '20s in film industry was part of what is called the "Pre-Code Era."
