Analytical Short Story

Even though Urbanization created opportunity for many families around the US but it also created some unwanted secondary effects. With an enormous amount of immigrants coming to America to this time and settling in cities, people usually stayed in neighborhoods with people of similar culture and race. This created separation of cultures and different people. Unfortunately, the separation created stereotypes and hate for each other. Riots and fights broke out between the different sections of the city. Chicago was one of the cities like this. It was a dangerous place to be. John Waner grew up in a slavic neighborhood and was quoted in Chicago Stories, Boss, saying, "Gee, you'd never think of just walking into their neighborhood, or you'd get the hell knocked out of you..." Chicago was broken up into many different places and people hated people of different races and cultures. Also, Chicago was known in this time period for gangs and specifically Al Capone. Al Capone ran Chicago through bootlegged alcohol and the mafia. He contributed to making Chicago a dangerous place and killed and kidnapped to get what he wanted. Urbanization created a place that was dangerous and this was because people wanted money. People came to Urban places in search of money. This is greedy but these people worked hard for the money that they rightfully earned. Al Capone took greed to the next level and used illegal measures to gain money. Urbanization was a very respectable way for people to gain money and people wanted to find the easy way out and created a dangerous world for people in cities.
