A gang is just a social group like any other. Where differences arise is in each gangs view on moral/ethical/social stances. There is no reason a gang couldn't be formed around Hello Kitty or flower-pressing; the fact is, gangs are stereotyped with violence and illicit activity simply because many gangs do, indeed, embrace those types of behaviours.
Often Gangs form community, and a sense of protection. Also, you gain a sort of 'street credibility' and respect simply by being a member of a gang. This is a hard concept for people in suburbia to grasp, where things are different. In some areas however, people feel that they need to be in a gang in order to simply keep from being attacked, to protect themselves both physically and mentally. Moral stances are stretched to where violence and illegal activity are socially acceptable within the group, because they either can be justified with greater security or safety, or by the fact (in the case of drugs)that often the reality on the street is that other legal ways of making money are few and far between in some neighborhoods. Being raised, and living, in a miasma of hopelessness has a tendency to skew your views on morality and ethics, and few people outside this can even appreciate it.

why would you ask a question like that, all a "gang" is, family...but everyone has to go thru the ranks, on being respected...just like you do, when your at home, with your parents...so tighten up...and think before you ask.......

That's a little vague, but...
Violently. With a mob mentality. Gangs are about a sense of brotherhood, but they wouldn't have that if they got together and just sat around. The brotherhood comes from violence, and usually drinking.
