Elsa Brenner talks about gangs in a new york times article. Gangs have strong beliefs about their gangs code. Beliefs can cause violence. If a gang see;s someone wearing their "colors" that person could get injured. A story that happened in MPLS was a 14 year old boy was wearing a gangs colors and he was beaten into a coma and had brain damage.

One specific gender doesn't have a specific role. A stereo type for women maybe be one that cleans, cook etc. In the New York times, M.P Dunleavey (a women) speaks "I would continue to work, he (husband) would quit his job to take care of the baby"(NY times. This shows that man or women can be the stay at home parents. It may depend on income, this is expressed when M.P tells, "I didn't think of my self becoming the breadwinner, its just that i always had the higher income"(NY times).

An article that I read where a group of people facing difficulty was an article about Darfur. In the article by Marc lacey in the NY times () it talks about the conflict in Darfur. These people are suffering. They have to live in the consent fear of being killed. Many people have fled there homes and families have been separated or killed. Hopefully the people in Darfur can over come there struggles they are facing.
