Topic: If I could change the world I would get rid of drugs, guns, violence, and gangs.

To start with, many people die in the world from taking drugs. Many people get addicted to drugs and once they take drugs all they want to do is keep taking them. There are a lot of intelligent people out there in the world, but they would rather spend their time doing drugs, instead of using there knowledge to make the world a better place. After a while, these addicts end up causing violence in the world. If people join a gang, they won’t have to worry about anyone trying to jump them. They will have their people to have their back so then they can go the drugs they want and sell it to others. The people that do drugs are most likely to be the ones who are the smartest, but didn’t know that they were capable of doing great things because of the drugs they were introduced to in their life.

        Next, someone that goes through drug addiction and gets involved with gangs are most likely to go out and buy guns to have it on them. If they become drug dealers, they need guns if they are going out alone to make a drug deal. If people try and rob them, they most likely would kill that person. This is why I would get rid of guns in the world. A lot of people that are innocent die from cross fire like when two gangs get into it they just shoot at each other. A lot of teens die, get shot, and killed in the world because the way they look or the way they dress. Even if you’re not in a gang and you might not know what their colors are and you go in the wrong hood you could get shot because of the colors you’re wearing on your clothes. That’s how most people are dieing in the world these days.

        In addition to drugs and guns, I would also get rid of color. The reason why I would get rid of the color is because many gangs use different colors to represent their gang. There are a lot of people out in the world that don’t study gang colors and don’t worry about it because they might not be involved or not worried about it. They are not worried because they have more important things in life. The gang members might look at you and think you are in a gang, but your not. They may even try to jump you, or even fight you because of the colors you have on. Colors can cause a lot of violence because gang members would go off and badly beat people they suspect are in gangs. If a gang member is not satisfied with the beating they just gave you, they might attack you until they kill you. Colors that the gangs use are most likely the normal colors you see on a daily basis, and if you do not know that you are representing a gang in the clothing that you are wearing you can end up dead.

         In the end, you’re just going to end up losing the people you love and care for. Why take the life of someone in the world? Would you ever want to take someone’s life if you don’t know them and they’re wearing an ordinary color like black and red? What if you found out after you killed them that they were just a normal person that wasn’t a gang member? Just think about it, what if that was one of your family members they were not even a gang member? I think it’s messed up how people are willing to join a gang and go out and kills an innocent person or even gets strung out on drugs and kills others.
