Gangs Problem in Korea

Gangs Problem in Korea

 I think we learned a lot about gangs problem in korea in the last presentation. The presentation reminded us about the seriousness of the problem. There are 167 teams of gangs in korea. More than ten thousand people are on gangs. So, gangs are in their golden days now. In my opinion, there are three important problems of gangs in korea.

 

 First, gangs have terrorized the citizen's daily lives. I heard that gangs extort money from many local businesses. Particularly worrying is the rise of youth gangs. Threatening and taking money from non-gang members and younger students are the main activities of these gangs. I think that police should make a greater effort to catch gangs and the korean government should consider tightening of laws to protect citizens from gangs.

 

 Second, most of korean gangs are working as mortgage lenders and raise the funds. Even they manipulated the stock price. Gangs have spread to all cities and have permeated law enforcement bodies. I think that means some of senior officials are implicated in the problem. If we can not solve this problem as soon as possible, the problem pose a serious threat to the national security.

 

 Third, nowadays there are many kinds of gang movies. I want to say the problem in korean movie. Because korean gangs look like nice and cool in korean movies. So, some teenagers want to be a gang or imitate gangs' behavior from korean gang movies. However, being involved in a gang can be a threat to oneself and to those around him or her. If movies dealing with gangs have recently been making high profits, movie companies should consider mass Communication's influence to teenagers.

 

 I really worry about Copycat crime that continues to be a growing problem for many teenagers and youth. I want korean government and police round up every gangs that have an effect on korean economy and korean citizens as soon as possible. When we solve the problems, Korea can be a better nation to live.
