GANG VS. CLUB
These two words generally share different point of views from many different people. Some people won’t agree on gangs because of the things they do and they will always think that. People won’t change their aspects about those two words.
Dictionary.com states that the meaning of the word gang means “a group or a band” and I think its similar to the meaningstate opinions like facts I got from wikipedia, “ a group of recurrently associating individuals with identifiable leadership and internal organizations.’’ I think the meaning that is more appropriate for the word gang is from wikipedia. Now a days in gangs there is identifiable leadership, ranks and internal organization, and it fits just right because if your from the ghetto or the streets somewhere around the world youll kind of get the picture of why the meaning of gang from wikipedia is acceptable and it fits better. The word club can either mean “ a heavy stick “ from thefreedictionary.com and “ association of two or more people united by a common interest or goal “ from wikipedia. I think the meaning of the word club fits the definition that i got from wikipedia. I have been to a couple of clubs in Hawaii and Alaska, it is a place where the association of way more then two people all united by a common interest or goal. I dont think that these two words have anything in common, gang is usually negative and clubs are more positive. You will have to try and not use the word gang in places where you know they are mostly common in.

Its not really negative,its negative if people make it negative but other than that it’s not. Clubs aren’t usually associated with violence, that’s the difference between the two words, clubs are where people have fun unless one is drunk and can’t handle their liquor. Some may also think its stick or a golf club. Gangs are more concrete because when someone asks you or say something about the word gang, people usually picture a group of teenagers smoking and drinking, causing trouble or just a threat to the surroundings, where club is an abstract.
