...Is there more violence in gangster rap than in regular hip hop music? The answer to that is: there is more violence in hip hop music rather than ganster rap. I know it is may seem a little weird, but, it is true, there is more violence in hip music rather than gangsta rap, but, the number of gun violence has doubled from gangster rap from 2000 to 2014 (Taboola, 2015). On top of this, most people would think that hip hop is the culture of nonviolence and just people singing, to have a good time but, this is not the case now these days (Taboola, 2015). “Violence in the hip hop world really needs to cease...it needs to stop to save people from being influenced to be part of a gang or, go and commit crimes of all sort”. It isn’t worth spending...

...people as well as trying to make some money on the side. Although they are different they are also very alike. The things they both did were illegal. Al Capone’s illegal act of smuggling and bootlegging liquor while prohibition was in full effect and Robin Hood’s illegal act of stealing. Both men used various methods and techniques to commit their crimes as well, most of the time they even used violence. Al Capone used different fire arms such as tommy guns to help him with his smuggling and other illegal acts and Robin Hood used such weapons as knives, and even bow and arrows to help him successfully steal some loot from the rich. For the most part both men got away with their crimes because they had some help. Al Capone was a gangster and was part of the outfits gang most commonly referred to as the Capones. Al Capone would leave all of his dirty work to these men to help him smuggle and bootleg. As for Robin Hood we had his own gang of sorts, the Merry Men. These men stood alongside Robin Hood and helped him to steal from the rich. In conclusion...

Special effects added dimensions to the explosions, fires and gun fire throughout the film. Although language in this feature is probably accurate from that era and of that associate with the type of illegal activity, the actors portrayed their characters convincingly with their demeanor, speech, and body language fitting for the style of movie. The plot thickens with mystery of who is loyal to who, as well as those who cast a shadow of doubt in regards to trusting those around themselves. When disagreements between the mob gangsters heat up, the fear of looking over the shoulder...

...Student’s name Professor Subject Date Title: Al Capone: America’s most famous gangster Abstract Al Capone: this name stirs up vivid memories in the minds of most Americans. It particularly mean much to residents of Chicago, Illinois, “the city of broad shoulders” so deservedly named after the gang leader who held an unquestionable grip on the its neighborhoods. Today, every gangster desires to be like “Scarface Al” as Capone was commonly referred. He is the epitome of what a gangster blueprint looks like that is engraved in the minds of those who had a first hand experience of his reign. Young as they may have been during Capone’s reign, they undoubtedly felt his power and effect. Al Capone’s background Alphonse “Al” Capone was born in Brooklyn on January 17, 1899. He acquired “education in petty crime” in the neighborhoods of Brooklyn. His name “Scarface Al” originated from a razor slash across his face (Bergreen, 1994). He later moved to Chicago where he survived several gang wars by having his rivals eliminated. In 1929, Capone’s gang, dressed in police uniform massacred seven members of a rival gang, the “Bugs” Morgan gang. This was revenge of his best friend’s death and abduction of a consignment of liquor from Canada. This became the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. By the end of the 1920’s Capone was in charge of bootlegging liquor. This brought him an annual income of over $20 million. The arrest and prosecution of Al Capone Despite his numerous...

...Research Paper Al “Scarface” Capone was the ultimate american gangster. Not only did he run the streets by the time he was 15, Capone ran all of Chicago for multiple years by the time he was 30 (Chicago Historical Society 1). In 1929, what is known as Chicago’s most brutal day, The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre occurred when Capone’s rival gang was murdered because he had one goal and that goal was to run the streets, just as he did (History Channel 1). While the feds were hot and heavy on him, Capone fled to Florida to lay low for a bit. When he was at his highest point of control of most of the country he was making close to $100,000,000 a year. While going back and forth from Florida to Chicago, Capone had up to 5 gangster headquarters. Once the police started to catch on to his case, they decided to give Al “Scarface” Capone a new nickname, “Public enemy number one” (History Channel 1). Capone had a wild childhood. He was born in January of 1899 in a small house in Brooklyn, New York (Chicago historical Society 1). By the time Al Capone was 15 he was brought up from the “kids gangs” (Chicago Historical Society 1) into the notorious Five Points Gang by Frankie Yale in 1916. Capone had a couple jobs as a bouncer and a bartender at Frankie Yales’ gangster dive bars and the Harvard Inn. While working at the Harvard Inn, Capone acquired the nickname “Scarface” because of an incident when a girlfriends brother of his beat him up and the name stuck ever since. Al Capone’s...

...( Feb 14 1929). Gang wars in Chicago had been happening for nearly half a decade. The goal of these gang wars was to prove who initially “ran the city” and to see who could make the most money in bootlegging. The West Side of Chicago was ran by Al Capone and his men, and the North Side was ran by George “Bugs” Moran and his fellow gangsters. There was lots of animosity and controversy revolving around these two drug lords, both had very strong personalities and did not want to be defeated. Chicago’s gangs and gangsters are known for being very notorious throughout American history “The Massacre was by no means Chicago’s last gang murder, but it marked the beginning of the end for the unchecked power of Chicago’s gangsters” (Smith). The citizens feared for their safety and felt no reassurance from police officers, so they took matters into their own hands “It jolted voters into demanding action against what The New York Times called “the unholy alliance between politics and crime and The Chicago Tribune called “the universal threat to society.” (Smith). To lower the crime rates in Chicago “A peace treaty was organized in 1926 by the leading gangsters but it did not hold” (Feb 14 1929). Crime rates in Chicago are still at a very high in this present day and age. The Valentine’s Day Massacre will help people to understand how there should be an end to organized crime. This case has gone unsolved for almost a hundred years because one person was afraid of what would happen to his...

...Al Capone got his nickname scarface when he got into a fight at a saloon and was slashed in the face by a knife or razor in his youth. The height of Al Capone’s infamous criminal career was during the 1920’s. The 1920’s was a time of great crime partly because of the Prohibition, which was when alcohol was banned within the United States. Crime rose during the Prohibition because although alcohol was banned by the government it was still very popular and highly sought after by many Americans, and they turned to gangs to help them access it. Most of the famous gangs and gangsters who rose to power during this time were from Chicago, where Capone was head of the Mafia. Why was the law always after Al Capone? All of the crimes committed by Al Capone during his early life, while he was head of the Chicago mafia, and the crimes that eventually put him in jail were all of the reasons why...

...The popularity of tattooing has increased dramatically, especially with teenagers. Tattooing has been a fad for centuries and teenagers are now starting to take on this so called form of art. Though teenagers feel that getting a tattoo is the in thing to do, it is in fact along term problem. The increasing of tattooing done by teenagers is because of rebellion, peer pressure, and social status. Rebellion is one of the many reasons why teenagers get tattoos. The children of today want to use piercing and tattoos as a form of expression and independence. The problem with this is that parents do not feel the same way, and so teenagers go out and get a tattoo in a ways just to show their parents that they can do as they please, and that they are not the bosses of them. The problem with this is that later on in life the child that got the tattoo will grow up and have children of their own, who will also want to get a tattoo or other means of expression done on their body. The teenager who is now a parent will most likely tell them no, but just like they did when they were younger, their children will also still probably go out and get a tattoo. How is the parent going to explain that it is not the right time for it, if they themselves got one also at that age? Another reason teenagers get tattoos is because of peer pressure. We have to remember teenagers are sheep and like sheep they follow the crowd. The in crowd such as the popular kids in school, musicians, and actors spread...

...Gangs By: Kanan Suleymanov A gang is a very complex group of people made by certain people in order to obtain money and power. It maybe hard to believe and one may think how is a gang even remotely complex? A gang is far from being simple and easy to establish it takes a lot of man power and intelligence. It is considered somewhat like a business an illegal one of course but a business never the less. In the dictionary a gang is defined as a group of people through organization, formation and establishment of an assemblage they all share a common identity. In the industrial age, which is the 1800s the word gang did not denote to a negative connotation but it actually referred to a group of workmen. In Britain the word is still used today as the original meaning but it later underwent what is known as Semantic Change. People always wonder why do others join gangs? Why would they just ruin there lives devoting it to crime and all these other terrible things that come along with problems within the gang? Some reason might be money, identity, discipline, recognition, love, belonging, and peer pressure. Others really have no choice. Imagine you’re a little kid living in the urban world, you know your family cannot provide for you the care that you want and the basic needs a child needs. The reason being for this is because they do not have enough money what would you turn to? You would of course go into the one thing that you may think is really easy and a fast way...

...Al Capone is known as the famous bootlegger. What people don´t know is his backstory or his actual name, which is Alphonso Capone born on January 17, 1899.[1]No matter what bad things a person does they are still people with feelings, that also applies to Al Capone. Al Capone is the Son of two Italian immigrants, Gabriele and Teresina Capone.[2] He also had 8 siblings Vincenzo, Raffalo, Salvatore, Amadeo Ermino, Umberto, Matthew Nicholas, Rosalia, and Mafalda. [3] His dad was a barber and his mother was a seamstress. In elementary school Al Capone was a good student, he went to Brooklyn Elementary School, then in 6th grade he fell behind and had to repeat that grade. He started to play hooky and hang out at the Brooklyn docks, he once got hit by a teacher and hit back. But the thing that made him drop out of school was when he got beat up by the principal. His family decided to move to a better home in the outskirts of Park Slope neighborhood, this place was where he met his wife and his mob mentor.

...Individual Reflection: This inquiry-based research project has been quite enjoyable to do. This culminating assignment taught me patience, analytical skills, and to be an effective researcher. The social issue that my group has chosen is Gang and youths; this issue affects a large group of people and is controversial in nature. What I have discovered through hard research is that many youths enter gangs because they feel as if that is the only way to escape their lives. For an example, a boy living in a poverty stricken home may feel like the only way to get his/her family out of the poverty stricken area is to join a gang. Not only do youths join gangs in the mindset of wreaking havoc, it might only be their way of living. Also, the surveys have given me a better understanding of the topic, gangs and youths. Majority of the teenagers who have done the survey were not entirely sure whether gangs were good or not. As a result, we have come to the conclusion that since many people are indecisive of their perspective on the idea of a gang, it is easier for youths to be manipulated to enter a gang. Approximately, 60% of the surveyors know someone in a gang. This number is far greater than I expected, since the number is larger it is easily accessible for youths to enter a gang. Also, many of the surveyors believed that gang members usually consist of one race. Roughly, 55.36% of the evaluators believed that gangs consist of one race. For an example, many people believe Afro-Americans...
