    Naturally, people club together for a common goal. Wolves live in packs and share their resources, penguins do the same (and share day-care duty), chimps live in groups and unite for hunting and defense, etc.

    Early man lived in groups and hunted together. See the movie "Quest for Fire" as an example.

    Farming peoples weren't terribly egalitarian, but almost all nomadic tribes share stuff. Bedouins (Arabia) and Toureg (West Africa) travel and herd their goats together. The Masai in Africa herd their cattle together. Souix and Cheyenne people in the Great Plain used to hunt together. So did the Inuit of Alaska.

    So you see, men work in groups for a common interest. Likewise, criminals work together to share resources, weapons, safe houses, etc.

    well. . . a thesis is a statement that you will try to prove through your paper.

    one could be "All crime is Organized Crime" and you could prove this by stating that it is agianst human nature to commit an act that would impare their abilities to succed in life uncounciously.

    all depends what you want to prove, and what facts you have to support it.
