Dealers of America

This week in socialogy class we went deep into the world of drugs dealers and their habits. This was very interesting from a socialogical perspective because drug dealers will sometimes work near each other or together to sell their drugs. In this economy this is a business that takes away from other legal businesses and can heavily impact the capital of any area. To learn about how a drug dealer lives and works we would go into a study done inwhich we would follow a drug dealer through his day. We would learn that it is common to have more then one dealer in the same area and that sometimes drug dealers would take corners of streets individualy. As the dealer day progress we would learn that dealers happen to be in gangs and not that gangs always have dealers. In this case the dealer was part of a gang and would live with them in an appartment building where many of the other dealers, crooks, cons, and gang members would live. And sometimes their would be people running from the law or someone they owe money to. This shady life style influenced by gangs and intercity life can leave a person trapped to this life. In conclusion the dealer of America did not so much chose to become dealer but they did not know better and/or they may believe this to be their calling for a bigger pay check.
