Cape Town was a positive trip for me and I’m happy I got in
and took this journey with a great group of people. On my abroad trip, a lot of
things were new to me. I mean I have always known that America has a big
influence on most of the world, but what I failed to realize is that it’s not
all positive.
As we visited the townships, we started learning
about the gangs in Cape Town. I was left
in amazement to find out that one of Cape Town’s biggest gangs is called “The
Americans!” Vernon, as well of some of the students at my internship, were
telling us that they copy what they see on television about American gangs. I
found it sad because back at home it is a big problem in America that we
promote so much violence and it has taken a big toll on us. Never mind the fact
that it is becoming the fuel to new gangs around the globe. Will the violence
ever end?
