    Laura Schneider Sociology 1 The City of God After watching “The City of God”‚ I personally can see the correlation that crime plays in association with poverty‚ social influence‚ and lack of law and order. Though my perspective vastly varies from that of sociological theorists‚ I think we can both conclude that this movie is an extreme representation as to what can occur when society shuns away disadvantaged youths to a place that lacks justice as well as ethical and moral responsibilities.
