    How exactly does it help if I, or you, understand the why? I would argue that a lot of people are aware of the whys, nonetheless there are still gangs and militaries.

      Because understanding that the cause is poverty encourages everyone who understands it to focus on solving poverty. Poverty should not be allowed. If there was no poverty in the US there would be less of an incentive to do desperate things such as join a gang of any size.
