In movies, it's used to send messages. What happens to these Mafiosos in the movies? They get offed. That's part of the lesson.
As well, has anyone noticed what has happened to women?? Society changes based on the messages it receives that tell it what’s ok and what’s not. Every single film, in order to make women “equal” with men, have women fighting and being fought against......by MEN. You don’t think that has repercussions as to how men feel towards women? They are open season now, and btw they love it (ha ha), at least Hollywood actresses who play them do, always spouting off about “Ya! Girl Power!”. They can’t complain then, when men begin to believe the new norm and HIT women!!! No more, “a boy never hits a girl”. That would be sexist!
