Question
Many people in the media claim that the country’s current issues with alcohol are primarily the result of minority populations (e.g., Māori and Pacific communities) because of what they think is a ‘genetic predisposition’ toward these issues. Given what we have covered this week, which of the following statements best reflects the evidence regarding Aotearoa New Zealands current alcohol issues across all populations?Question 9Select one:a.An intended consequence of the ‘early closing’ legislation in World War 1 was that New Zealanders were taught to binge drink and this is why we have such harmful drinking patterns now.b.The British colonial government and the colonial population introduced alcohol to Aotearoa New Zealand and successive Aotearoa New Zealand governments have introduced legislation over the last 2 centuries that has intentionally or unintentionally promoted a culture of harmful drinking.c.European New Zealanders imported drinking cultures from their European homelands but this gave rise to calls for temperance.d.Prior to colonisation Māori had absolutely no alcohol in their communities but after colonisation there has been a history of alcohol use issues reflective of struggles due to colonisation and a loss of power in Māori
Solution
The statement that best reflects the evidence regarding Aotearoa New Zealand's current alcohol issues across all populations is:
b. The British colonial government and the colonial population introduced alcohol to Aotearoa New Zealand and successive Aotearoa New Zealand governments have introduced legislation over the last 2 centuries that has intentionally or unintentionally promoted a culture of harmful drinking.
This statement acknowledges the historical context of alcohol introduction and its subsequent promotion in New Zealand. It also recognizes the role of government legislation in shaping drinking culture, which has implications for all populations, not just minority groups. It does not single out any one group as being primarily responsible for current alcohol issues, instead highlighting systemic factors that have contributed to these issues.
