My Job Community

Where i work the community is very diverse. Every one has there little groups and create there own status. There are quite a few gangs by my job. So I guess the "bad ass" of each gang would be considered to have highest status. Me personally I think all the members have low status in society. They find pleasure out of terrorizing the neighborhood by graffiti or robbing someone and so on. There are customers everyday that come in to get food and they talk about how they just jumped someone or stole something from the store down the street. They think by doing what there doing they are going to become someone, someone with authority. I wont deny they gain respect from people around the neighborhood. Its only cause people in the neighborhood either grow fear from these guys and don't want any harm done or they are fellow gang members. These people don't contribute anything to the community where i work. They try to build reputations so they can have gang status and in the process they undermine the values of a community.

  1. live above the influence and be your own person!<3 where do you work?! what kind of business? status is the same in every neighborhood, its all about the money they get or how tough you can be. if a person has a lot of money and seems aggressive they are well known.
