Second quarter project

For my second quarter project I decided to change what i originally planned on doing.  Instead i had the idea to focus on young people getting recruited into gangs.  For this project i plan on doing research on youth in gangs and try to find out how this effects our youth today.  I think that the topic of youth in gangs is something that has a huge role in gangs today and recruiting new people.  I will be using information found mostly on the internet.

Quarter 2 Project

I am researching how gangs interact with each other by naturalistic observation. Recently, my group of friends decided to form two "groups" or "gangs". Although they are not real gangs, they still are effected in the same way. Their attitudes have changed and corruption among them is beginning to occur. I will be observing their actions in person as well as their behavior on social media sites - which includes them recruiting others into their gang. I will watch how their view on each other changes as more people enter the group. Because I know them personally, I know how they act with serious matters as well as in their natural environment when they are comfortable. This allows me to compare and contrast the differences.
