Letter To The Editor Gang violence is a important and current issue that is occurring in todays society. From Monday to Friday our group consisting of Marko, Luke, Sandy and Connie, from Emmaus have been working on how to solve Gang Violence in our country. Based on our opinion, we think that earth project is a good thing to do for year 10’s as it makes us learn and think about things that occur in our country that we wouldn’t normally talk about or be educated on. Some examples as to why we hold this opinion is because we have found stats that prove that gang violence is a really bad problem. It is estimated that 39% of gangs active in 2000 had a least one female member; 2% of gangs were identified as being composed of predominantly female members. The way our group feels about Earth Project is honestly that it is a successful way of learning because its an independent group activity that allows us to do the research on our own and without anyone constantly interrupting Yours sincerely Sandy and Connie, Emmaus catholic College.
