In 1920, Congress passed the 18th Amendment, which prohibited any manufacturing, transportation, or selling of alcohol. This amendment was hard to enforce, as the bootlegging of alcohol and organized crime had become a very profitable business and the ban became unpopular In 1933, Congress passed the 21st Amendment, which repealed the 18th Amendment.

Connection to Modernism: This amendment showed the divide between modernism and traditionalism, where traditionalists believed alcohol to be an influence for crime and violence but modernists saw it as a way for their moralities to remain the same, something they were against. They wanted to change their morals from the traditonal American ways

Main Belief: To treat mental disorders by investigating the interaction of conscious and unconscious elements in the mind and bringing repressed fears and conflicts into the conscious mind by techniques such as dream interpretation and free association.

Key Elements: Unconscious, Repression, defence, resistance, censorship, trauma fixation, regression, sublimation, projection, ambivalence, identification, oedipus complex, transference, compulsion to repeat, and defence mechanisms. (What is Psychoanalysis?)

Prediction: This theory might have impacted the modernist views on life and the American Dream because with this theory they explore the human mind and they explore what they do when they are unconscious and they would try and find a way to fix their mental health and modernist needed evidence that they could actually fix their mental statues but they could never have evidence so modernist thought that it was not possible. (Beystehner)

Modernists, many of whom fought during WW1 and witnessed its horrors, began to believe that the American Dream was an unreachable goal. To them, the American Dream is broken, false, and if maintained with the same elements as before was just, in fact, a dream.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's cover of the "The Great Gatsby" is a painting of a woman's eyes, which give a melancholy tone, that hover over a bright and multicolored cityscape. This could show that the woman is only able to see the beauty of the American Dream, but she cannot reach it.
