The organized crime
What I learned from the organized crime was very interesting. All the small group presentations that my classmates did were very good. I learned many interesting facts about each and every group. I learned that not all gagsters were originally from a bad background. Some got to the point they did because they wanted to be able to help out their families. Not all gagsters were killers some just robbed to get the money they needed to be able to help out their families but after a point of having money they kept wanting more. They usually went with someone to do their crimes, never alone. Most of them lost someone very special in the hearts. By all the crimes they did they gained money but lost something. Some lost close people to their hearts because of their jail sentenced and no matter what they did they would hurt the people close to them.
I reflected from all this that by having to much of something can be dangerous. You never really know when you are becoming the victim of your own game. You never really know what you have till is gone and after all the money you can have the people you need the most is the people closest to your heart.
