Why are young people attracted to the gangster image?

Why does everyone want to be a gangster? From gladiators to gangsters, throughout history there has always been an attraction to being the tough guy. Girls love them, mothers cry for them, and everyone else is afraid of them. In today’s society there seem to be three classes of young people, tough people, those imitated by them and those who emulate them.

Today’s youth use the term “gangsta” to refer to a gangster or tough person. A popular rap star, Fifty-Cents recorded a song called “Wangsta.” Wangsta is street slang that describes someone pretending to be a gangsta. The lyrics to this song show the artist challenging a rival’s clam to be a gangster. He continues to criticize his rival for talking about being a gangsta and not shooting anyone. Why would a child rather fight than be called a wangsta? Well that’s what we’ll explore in this section of this post. People are drawn to various characteristics of a tough guy. Let’s take a close look at some of them.

# 1 Boldness: Tough guys don’t seem to have a healthy fear that would normally limit the behavior or ability of the average person. His unpredictable nature keeps his viewers guessing, his friends entertained, and

rivals in fear. Tough guys refuse to listen to anyone or anything, including their conscience. The Gangsta Life is appealing to the teenage boy who feels bored at home or the young man who feels people don’t respect him. Without a full understanding of respect, many young people intentionally cause people to fear them. Fear is a mutated form of respect.

Authority figure no. # 2: A gangsta can attract others by faking the role of a father. The basic responsibility of a parent is to protect, provide and teach. The gangsta can create a sense of protection through violence and intimidation; they provide tangible basic items primarily through illegal means. A gangsta teaches street knowledge. Girls often transfer their allegiance from their parents to the local gangsta in hopes of escaping parental responsibility and guidance.

Control # 3: Teens struggle with a lot of problems. They are trying to find the balance between image, power and self-preservation. New information and skills bombard their minds every day. They need help to put it in proper perspective. They mask their feelings of insecurity by choosing an image to protect their soft core. If people are afraid of them, they won’t bother them while they find out. Again, fear is often confused with respect. Children often say, “I don’t care.” More times than anything, they try to convince themselves not to feel. Tragically, many unintentionally silence their consciousness and cause permanent damage to their consciousness while going through a temporary phase. Many young people are representing the image of what they think is a Gangsta. Their image often puts them in situations from which they cannot escape. Each image follows a particular script. Some young people follow their lines to the grave.

# 4 Emotional Advantage: Some young people suffer from traumatic experiences from their past. Whether they have been let down by their parents or abused by someone outside the family, they feel vulnerable. Without professional assistance, children turn to their internal coping mechanisms. Tired of feeling victims, they get angry with those responsible for their ailments. They soon discover that they feel empowered and justified while angry. His anger masks his pain. Finally, they chose a lifestyle of anger to silence their pain. Unfortunately, they can silence your spirit in the process. The spirit contains many hidden treasures. The special gifts, that is, intuition, drive and talent live in the spirit. Without access to those treasures, they may never reach their full potential.

Wearing a gangsta mask has deadly consequences. We see our children playing chicken with guns and knives. The winner is always the one who cares the least, or at least acts accordingly. Sadly, the winner is also the biggest loser. They lose themselves, the freedom and the vision of a productive reality.
