### Impact on Substance Use
1. **Cultural Norms**: The cultural norms established by industrialization and the pursuit of "whiteness" could perpetuate behaviors such as binge drinking and drug use. These behaviors might be seen as ways to cope with the pressures and disconnection from more traditional, community-oriented ways of living.
2. **Historical Context**: If we consider the historical context of the White Australia Policy and its alignment with industrial and economic goals, it’s plausible that these policies helped to shape a society more prone to substance dependency.
