Role and Personality traits: Much like a CEO no order can be made without his approval. He commands both the respect and power much like a CEO. All earnings the company makes he gets the first piece of the profit. He is very controlling, and when he sees something he likes he takes it. Example When Ralph buys a race horse (Pie oh my) and it starts to become succesful, Tony starts taking control, caring after the horse and making all the major decision involved with the horse. Ralph who is going through a tough time at home with his child in critical condition, eventually kills the horse. What does Tony do? He kills Ralph. Much like a CEO would fire his employee.

Threats they cause to Society: Suprisingly the mob can be quite good to the society they live in, the Sopranos Donate $5000 to AJ's school every year and they also donated 50000 to Columbia Univeristy the School that Meadow Attends. They are proud of the culture and were looking to preserve the name of Christopher Columbus. They are always willing to do favors for those around them like when Paulie attempts to get his long time landscaper the land that was taken away from him back from Feech .It's when society comes looking to them that trouble occurs, when David Scatino comes looking to play in there card game and then loses, Tony takes no pity on the man, taking his SUV and running his business into bankruptcy. Same can be said for Artie, who takes out a $50000 loan from tony, when he is unable to pay him back, Tony being a friend decides he can repay him by eating at his restaurant for free and whiping his $6000 tab.

Planning: When the feds are hot on Tony and his Captains trails with indictment...
