Gangs

I feel that the topic of gangs is relevant to the being bad module as it is in fact people being bad, a question that arises when looking at gangs is what attracts people to actually wanting to join a gang? The obvious answer is that a lot of people living in insure environments feel safer if they are in a gang, the link I have posted below offers many reasons as to why people feel the need to join gangs.

I personally feel that although these points are valid a lot of people don’t understand what they are getting into when joining a gang, for example the story line in Eastnders at the moment is a good example of this which I have also posted a link below for people who may not know of this story line and would like to read about it. The story line shows how people are peer pressured into joining gangs even if they don't want to, they think people would accept them more. Also another intresting point regarding eastenders was the concept of "friends" You think your gang is like your family or your friends but what people fail to realise is that people in gangs aren't like that.
