The construction of Gang mentality belongs to modern Western Urban culture!
The development of gang culture is a part of the American social fabric!
We have participated in the social construction of these violence communities now inhabiting the urban centers of the world.
We cannot glorify violence and greed and reject our youth in post modern culture without a social cost!
At the heart of this costly issue is the selfish , attitudes that reflect the marginalization of our young people in American social construct.
The masses of American youth in our urban areas and around the world are seen as socially dependent and misfits.
This rejection is reflected in the massive adoption of youth into gang culture.
It is a humanitarian problem that is reflected around the world!
The history of the United States reflects the celebration of this kind of thinking!

Gangs on the REZ
There is a generally passive response to the idea of gangs and groups of young people acting independent of social norms and values within the larger social constructs of urban culture.
There is even a glorification of the images of gangland ideological perspective deeply rooted within the socialization of western culture.
The acceptance of guidelines of behavior independent of social norm and ethical standard is a popular theme in
American culture.
The breaking of the laws of society has become a a rite of passage for many young people involved or influenced by this perspective.
This has caused a critical problematic in the African American community and other communities of color within and beyond western European urban concentrations of human community.

Where ever the urban culture can thrive so thrives the gang culture. There must be better answers for our youth in the inner city.
We must learn how to address these concerns or prepare for a serious issue in our urban areas of the future.
