One thing that has a tremendous effect on society today is gang violence. Gang violence goes on through out our world and is the cause of many tragic deaths. In different parts of the world their are gangs that mark areas as their territories; many fights between gangs usually have to do with claiming their territories and arguments over unnecessary things such as what type of colors you have on that may represent another gang, what u wear, and where you came from or where you live now. Usually a gang consists of people who come from broken homes and are not getting any love from home so they turn to the streets for love and trusts complete strangers because they promise to help and protect them. Although in the beginning a gang may not seem so bad to you it may seem like a group of friends who just hang out side all the time but its not, in most cases gang member are selling drugs, and jumping people. If your in a gang I strongly suggest that you think about all the people that are getting hurt because of what you and your "friends" do and maybe try to get out of the group or try to influence your "friends" in a more positive way.
