Hooliganism

Hooliganism in general is unruly or desruptive behaviour. It happens all across the world all the time. Just today there was a news story about the problems with money in Greece. They are in so much debt that people cannot withdraw money from their banks. This caused the people of Greece to turn into a mob and it led to disaster. The police were pelted with rocks, a bank was set on fire and many people were injured. Can you blame the people of Greece for becoming irrate and unruly though? It's only natural to feel anger and when anger builds up amongst many people it can create chaos.

When hearing the word hooliganism the first thing that would pop into most peoples head's is football. Hooliganism is widely associated with the game of football because there are people who go to matches just to end up in a fight. A man appeared on Jeremy Kyle talking about being a football hooligan and he seemed to have very few morals. Even when he was confronted by the mother of a child who was killed just to violence at a football match he showed no remorse for his actions and said he would carry on doing what he does.

Hooliganism is a crazy thing to be involved in, but if people want to destroy themselves they should go right ahead. The worst thing though is when they destroy other people's property or end up hurting an innocent person who never wanted to get involved, unfortunately this happens far too often.
