Research Paper

This quarter my college Writing class is doing a collaborative Global Issue Analysis Research Paper. My group is doing global gang violence, pretty much based on the history of gangs around the world. During my research I found a website called History.com, which is based on a tv show called Gangland, featuring different gangs. I have dicovered that gangs are notorious all around the world, and have been around for thousands of years. 5 of the biggest gangs and criminal groups in existance today is the Crips who are primarily but not exclusively, african american, mostly found in Los Angeles. Hells Angles which is more of a club than a criminal organization. Another gang is the MS13 gang also known as Mara Salvatrucha, mostly made up of Salvadorans, Hondurans, and Central Americans. There is also the IRA (Irish Republican Army) being in existance since around 1916. The final most notorious gang in the world is the Russian Mafia, and their members are mostly ex Soviet Army officers. To find more on these gangs follow this website.

Classses Senior Year

This year I am graduating early so I only have half a semester to do. My classes are not hard but they are not what I expected to be in this year. At my old school I had already chose my classes, however I had planned doing two years worth of classes. When i came to my new school I found out that many of the classes I signed up for they did not have. For instance I wanted to take a third year of Theater class but Moline did not have those classes. I also planned on taking a BLack Literature class, but Moline did not provide that class as an option either.

Coming to this school I realized everything has changed. Including my surroudings, my friends, and even my classes. I know a have a lot of adapting to do, but I believe it should be fine, considering I only have half a semester to do.
