Gang Violence a Social Issue Today
The topic I chose for my essay was gang violence because of the experience I have had personally with it. Today you see a lot of the violence in the news from overseas. There is so much more than the papers and news tell us. Just think if you go overseas alone and are there for any amount of time, you are an easy target. Your papers can be burned and you can be left for dead barely alive or even never found at all. When any family or friends start to look for you they are often too late. This is something I have experienced personally and made it out alive. When violence like this happens to you, things look totally different and your not as invincible as you think anymore. This topic is a topic that will be hard for me but I also look at it as a way of growing and healing from it as well.

Wow, this seems like a very touchy subject for you. I think that the more personal an issue is to a writer the better the writing. I hope I get to read your paper especially your ideas on how to fix gang violence. Good luck! I'm sure this will be a very interesting paper!
Gang violence is a very serious issue. The organizations that started out to be a community uprise has turned into a death trap for all who become involved. I think that this is an issue that needs to be resolved. You write as though this was something you experienced and need to contribute some way in order to begin a change or at the least raise awareness. This subject is not knew and it tends to become the normal part of people's lifes. Hooray that you chose not to be complacient about this issue.
I think this a good issue since you went through it. good luck to us all.
