The Godfather. The Sopranos. A Bronx Tail. Analyze This. Boardwalk Empire. Mob Wives. The list is endless of television shows and movies that glorify the mafia. Mobsters in these movies are portrayed as handsome, slick, wealthy, and POWERFUL. The typical mobster shown in these movies and shows always have beautiful wives or girlfriends and 9 out of 10 times, they cheat on them and just as often, the women know. People living around them are afraid and looked at as unworthy. These men kill innocent people on a regular basis and do so like it's no big deal. What about this lifestyle is so intriguing to people?
Since we are a bunch teenage girls, I am going to assume the almost everyone has seen Mob Wives. If not, the title explains itself. The show is based around four women involved in this 'lifestyle.' They act like they are big and bad because their husbands or fathers led organizations that went out and killed people. They truly believe that they are looked at as royalty. And the saddest part about it?...They are. What good do they do for our cities? Why do people let themselves be so afraid? And why do we give them so much power?
