Poverty may mean that crime is the only way that the working class can survive, as crime may e the only way that they can obtain the consumer goods encouraged by the capitalist advertising, resulting in utilitarian crimes such as theft. However, it isn’t always utilitarian crime that the working class commit as sometimes the alienation and lack of control over their lives may lead to frustration and aggression which results in non-utilitarian crimes such as vandalism and violence. Marxist’s sometimes argue the state and law-making are a cause of crime because they believe that all laws serve the ruling class, most law is based on protecting private property. The crimes of the working class and ethnic minorities are punished harshly while crimes of the powerful go unnoticed. The ruling class also have the power to prevent the introduction of laws that would threaten their interests.
(Defiant attitude. )” (Akutagawa 31). In the end Tajomaru believes that although his fate is in the hands of the law he will prevail even in death by challenging the system. Like the bandit Robin Hood who became an English folk hero thru the belief that even men whom have done wrong can become clean through the resistance of corrupt men. Tajomaru also believes that Takehiro was a greedily corrupt man whom deserved death.
However subcultural theorists developed this idea claiming that people experiencing strain seek different forms of success. More specifically Cloward and Ohlin put forward the idea of the 'illegitimate opportunity structure’, which they used to explain subcultural crime. This structure was operable outside of the mainstream structure and ultimately lead to the attainment of success and money through deviant means. For example, Cloward and Ohlin argued that organized crimes such as the drugs trade could be explained by failures in mainstream capitalism. Cloward and Ohlin argue, that the majority of criminals involved in the drugs trade were unable to succeed within capitalism and were driven to an illegitimate means of obtaining wealth.
He risked his existence, his wealth, and his men. Beowulf did not think of the safety of his men, he was not aware of others' lives, but instead focused on his own victory. Through his thoughts, one may see how far Beowulf would go to be successful, and can see his selfish ways. As for modern Christian values, pride is seen as a deadly sin, in which Beowulf seem to be doomed to hell if judged on twenty-first century ethics. Excessive pride is frowned upon as for the sinner only sees himself and leaves no room for God.
Plans of starting a rebellion and spying were a few common crimes committed by the noble back in those days.

In conclusion, John Proctor is a tragic hero described by Aristotle. His position in the community is a well-known farmer, who is respected and feared. Some of his flaws are being weak-minded, lustful, and committing adultery. His reversal, or downfall, from not being able to communicate well is being arrested and executed. Then, when it is too late, he recognizes the value in his name.
The origin of social disorganization theory can be traced to the work of Shaw and McKay, who concluded that disorganized areas marked by divergent values and transitional populations produce criminality. Strain theories view crime as resulting from the anger people experience over their inability to achieve legitimate social and economic success. These theories hold that most people share common values and beliefs but the ability to achieve them is differentiated throughout the social structure. The best known strain theory is Merton's, which describes what happens when people have inadequate means to satisfy their needs. Cultural deviance theories hold that a unique value system develops in lower class areas.
Though Gawain pridefully upholds the highest perfection of moral codes and Christian knighthood, he comes to recognize a painful lesson; that all men are merely human, and thus imperfect as nature created him. Gawain’s first test is exemplified by Green Knight’s challenge to exchange blows with an axe. The Green Knight presents a most fearsome sight to the Christian court of King Arthur, for his vigor
He wanted to be a leader in some ways, but should’ve been leaded. His corrupted mind brought him into the evils that will come when you’re fighting for a cause. So, he is a famous abolitionist because of his outrageous acts of violence, not because he had a substantial contribution to the cause of abolition. Killing five people for a cause isn’t that many when put into perspective with how many there still were afterwards. The plan to raid Harpers Ferry was a GREAT plan, but he isn’t a leader.
At the end of the day, social disorganization meets the measures of organized crime, it is totally not for the usual beliefs and set values by the public through the predominant law liberated for the safety of individual’s right or freedom. Unlawful behavior is commonly exist within the environment of social disorganization and finally street gangs possibly will develop as groups that will possibly have fundamental have connections with corrupt officers leading to their economic, social and governmental power. Because of those fundamental ins and outs, without a doubt the social disorganization for example in the circumstance of gang culture ultimately meets the standards for organized crime. In reality, it is evolution significantly completes the accomplishment of those measures. As argued, social disorganization and organized crime possibly will result in having similar economic, political and social objectives.
