all about power

Power isn't anything you can see, hear, or taste. The main people or things who have power in my life are me and god. I am the person who has power in my life because, it's my life. I choose to determine what will happen in my day, who I will talk to, what I will eat e.t.c. Although you can't see or hear, it's something you can feel around you. God has power because he determines if I will wake up or not. People gain power by pushing you over your limit. When you are pushed, you can't give up so easy. People lose power by, giving up on you. When people stop believing in you, it makes you want to give up on yourself.

gangs and violence

Some people argue that the main reason for joining gangs is, respect, money, and parties. A gang is usually a group of the toughest guys on the block, getting together fighting, selling drugs or just hanging. The main reason for joining a gang is easy access. for people joining gangs is, easy access. Once your in the game of gangs, your in “the GAME.” You have easy access to everything.Guns, money, clothes, shoes, everything! There are many types of gangs. The largest, most dangerous gangs are, drug gangs. You have easy access to dirty money, everyone gives you attention, free murder weapons, bigger than you could ever imagine. Really big guns are the welcoming committee of drug gangs. Everyone sees you as a threat of danger. No one steps over you or ever tries to mess over your money. You fit in with every gang once you join a drug gang.Joining a gang makes you look very tough and cool, but is very dangerous. Joining a gang can result in loss of a family member, death of you, or of a really close friend. I agree with many other audiences thinking that the reasons for joining gangs are, getting the guys/girls or to get the success, but without having easy access, you wouldn’t be able to have any of these things. Some people join gangs to have the attention and money. Others join gangs to fit in or get protection plans. Joining a gang sounds like it’s so simple and easy, but there are many tasks that you have to complete before you can even be accepted by members of a gang. Sometimes they want you to kill for your membership, but why kill if it’s not worth it? But wait, all gangs are the same. Some gangs are made up of just kids who just want to hangout (rarely found). That’s why I agree with the main reason for joining a gang is easy access. Though there are many other reasons, none of them would matter so much without easy access to the people who believe respect, money, and parties are the reason for joining a gang maybe your right, but those are your reasons and these are mine.
