Throughout time there have always been people who held more power than others.

There are many different methods used to both demonstrate and maintain the power

which they possess. Often times violence is the method chosen to achieve these

goals. Violence can be used demonstrate power or as a tool of revenge. If used

right, violent measures could be very effective and even necessary, but if it is

abused the consequences could be deadly. This is the case for the different

members of the Corleone family in Francis Ford Coppolla’s, " The

Godfather", in which each member receives different results in the use of

violence against others. The negative consequences of violence are demonstrated

through the actions of each member. The use of violence can be beneficial or

disastrous, and must be exercised very cautiously.
