暴民与黑手党
The difference between mob and mafia mainly comes from the ethnic background of these two groups of people. Now, if you have seen Godfather series of好莱坞movies, you probably know a lot about mafia. But if you haven’t, it refers to underground, organized criminal syndicate that has its origins in Sicily, Italy. There is another word mob that refers to criminal gangs involved in similar illegal activities. There are many similarities in the two terms and many believe them to be synonyms. However, the fact is that there are differences, and it is these differences that will be highlighted in this article.
黑手党是什么?
关于黑手党一词的起源,有很多理论。用阿拉伯语,黑手党一词的意思是避难所。在9世纪,西西里岛被占领和统治阿拉伯人。当地人受到压迫,为了逃避专制统治,他们在西西里岛发现的岛屿的山丘中寻求庇护。不仅是阿拉伯人,而且诺曼人,法国,西班牙人,德国人,奥地利人和希腊人在不同时期入侵了西西里人,这些难民产生了一种兄弟情谊和统一的感觉。成立的组织本质上是分层的,他们的唐人是家庭的负责人。他们是村庄或小领土上的黑手党的头。黑手党成员始终不得不从沉默,服从老板,援助和复仇的守则开始。还建议黑手党成员远离当局。黑手党从事各种非法活动,例如贩毒,武器,勒索,卖淫等等。
黑手党在19世纪和20世纪变得非常强大。它本身就是一个犯罪社会。他们遵循自己的权威,并与政府发生冲突。加入黑手党就像采用宗教一样,一旦成为黑手党的成员,他就无法退休,不得不在所有情况下保持忠实。那些试图转向告密者的人在黑手党手中遇到了非常暴力的死亡。
黑手党在我们身上的传播是因为黑手党在20世纪后期移民到纽约。首先到达纽约的是唐·维托·卡斯西奥·费罗(Don Vito Cascio Ferro),但很快还有许多人效仿Mussoliniin Italy led a crackdown on Mafia. There were lucrative opportunities for mafia in US and they expanded by recruiting local henchmen and other criminals. Many more Sicilians who were residing in New York joined the movement. Mafia in US ran extortion and protection racket but also indulged in bootlegging, prostitution, and gambling.
什么是暴民?
暴民是以有组织的方式适用于从事犯罪活动的个人的通用术语。尽管黑手党传统上意味着属于参与非法活动的西西里群岛家庭的罪犯,但暴民没有这种限制和所有色调的人,无论其种族如何被称为暴民。您一定已经听过像爱尔兰暴民,俄罗斯暴民等诸如黑手党是暴民之类的术语。但是,您不能说暴民是黑手党。暴民没有有组织的结构来决定每个人的职责。为了获得暴民领导者的头衔,您可以杀死领导者并获得权力。同样,大多数时候,暴民领导人都没有透露他们的身份。他们过着秘密的生活,以便他们可以毫无问题地从事非法业务。
暴民和黑手党有什么区别?
• Mafia has traditionally meant criminals belonging to families of Sicily involved in unlawful activities. Nowadays, this also refers to crime rings operating from Italy and US. Mob has no such restriction and people of all hues, irrespective of their ethnicity are termed as mob.
•黑手党是暴民,但您不能说暴民就是黑手党。
•另一个区别在于黑手党结构的方式。黑手党总是具有层次结构,头通常是家庭中最大的成员,也被称为唐。成员从等级和申请自己的表现以及与黑手党重要的人的亲密关系上升。
•另一方面,暴民没有层次结构,也没有对一个家庭的忠诚。
•领导可以改变暴徒的暗杀at any point of time. However, in Mafia, even assassination of the Don simply means passage of authority to the next in the hierarchy.
•暴民更笼罩在神秘之中,而至少可以确保黑手党中的权力中心。
•黑手党和暴民与暴民领导人维持的保密性有关的差异。暴民领导人避免了与当局的所有接触并过上匿名生活,而黑手党家庭的唐斯是已知的实体,他们似乎以某种方式避免了与当局的刷牙。然而,与暴民的领导人不同,它们是可见的。
