A peer group is a group of individuals who are roughly the same age that are linking common interests and orientations. In the textbook, it gives the reader the example of how young boys and girls grow up teaching one another how to be a female or a male. In the video, a peer group will be considered the gang MS13 because MS13 has attracted many young men and women across the globe.

The idea that groups can affect the individual drastically, and we can affect groups is pretty interesting to note. In the case of the film, MS-13 comes into many of its member 's lives at a young age, fundamentally changing how they view the world. Without the group (the group here being MS-13,) would these gang members been violent, or polarized towards crime? Would they have a different view of MS-13? Or, on the other side, how would MS-13 be affected if it didn 't have certain instrumental people within it?

It was never meant to be the way it is today but it just happens that is the way that it panned out. The creator of MS-13 isn 't in the gang today because that is not why he started the gang so he wants no parts in it at all. When you watched the movie and saw how fast and how far the gang spread it makes you think. A good term for this is Demography, the scientific study of population size, composition, and distribution as well as patterns of change in those features. When you look at a map and see where Los Angeles is and then you look down to Mexico and south America it makes you wonder how the gang had the man power to spread there.
