Drug Trading: Aiko Melendez And De Lima
Aiko Melendez, a former councilor and actress diminished De Lima's antiques after her accusations of different personalities involved in the drug trade returned as karma to her. Several anomalies happened inside New Bilibid Prison during the time when she was serving as the Secretary of the Department of Justice.

The actress went on to Facebook and expressed her distraught in her post. To start with, she mentioned that one must be slow to temper and having a steadfast heart in order to be a credible politician. One must never be quick to anger and different type of emotions. She also mentioned that the now senator's soft character is insufficient in subjecting her opinions to the public.

    But, from what I’ve seen of her, I can’t say I like her much as a person. Segment 10 talks about how well coached she is in body language, to me this is clear in the fact that her smile feels forced and conscious, and her facial management techniques seem obvious. Her general paralanguage patterns don’t sound natural, but rather curated. In her defense, it’s possible that this is as a result of Having to speak a certain way, as to not repel male voters. As mentioned in Segment 23, female politicians have the extra hurdle of addressing the sound of what they say along with what they’re vocally saying. All of these things combined give off a feeling of overly calculated, and at times even dishonest. This is in such a deep contrast to Senator Clinton’s husband, who is show in Segment 12 to be able to publicly execute nonverbal messages very well. It would seem as though he has also been coached on how to convey these message, but the fact that Bill Clinton is better at it; can make him feel like a more honest person. This is, in a way, backed up by Segment 14 and 26. He really isn’t good at nonverbal lying, this leads me to feel that he is being genuine most other…

    In 1932 the Capone era had already past its peak while others were still rising, and in the 80's there was (and still is today) drug trafficking from Cuba into Florida. Relating these movies to their respective eras allowed for the audience relate and more so enjoy having a sense of what it might have been like to live that life. Both movies have illegal acts in them, which of course without those the movie would be completely boring and different. 1932 has the sale of illegal alcohol, whereas the 83 version has illegal narcotics. Unless the 1983 version was a complete remake, it would make no sense to show a modern movie with something like beer banned. This was a necessary change to keep the story alive, and still relative to its time. Despite…

    Trust is an illusion, nothing more than a word, maybe even a trick to the drug dealing men of Mexico. The drug cartel leaders of Mexico's most infamous cartels can really only trust themselves. The drug world is a dog eat dog kind of world. Chapo had enlisted the help of El Chito to escape Puente Grande, as he drove the getaway car. “...Chapo told the guard he was thirsty. El Chito went into a shop to buy him a bottle of water. When he got back to the car Chapo was gone (pg 31).” Chapo knew the more anyone knew about his whereabouts upon his escape, the more likely he was to get caught. He simply abandoned the man who had helped him escape prison for fear that he could not trust him. Chapo was careful of who he told any crucual information…

    The American dream, that is to achieve success financially, has become an engraved necessity in today’s society. From the very beginning of our life, we are taught to go to excel in our academics, find a well paying job, purchase the little white house with the picket fence, and start our own family.

This is the legacy of change I have inherited from Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Mohammed Ali Jinnah. This is the philosophy of nonviolence that I have learned from Gandhi, Bacha Khan and Mother Teresa. And this is the forgiveness that I have learned from my father and from my mother. This is what my soul is telling me: be peaceful and love everyone”. This statement is so multicultural that it touches the hearts of almost everyone who hears and that’s why it’s so awesome. She then goes on to tell about why the Taliban are so afraid of education and how a boy in her schooled answered why they were “they are afraid of this book because they do not know what is written in it”. She then goes on to explain that the Taliban is even ignoring what their very own book, that they use to justify their own actions, says about education. “They think that God is a tiny, little conservative being who would point guns at people's heads just for going to school.

    As Americans in the United States face the war on drugs, we struggle to get a grip on the killer of a nation. It seems as if illegal narcotics are killing and destroying families at an alarming rate. Since the early eighties, children have dropped out of school to make a profit from this dream killer. Many parents were either addicted to these illegal drugs, or in denial of their corruption. In many legal cases you hear the convicted say, “We don’t have poppy fields in North America,” which leads our government to do critical speculation. Where do these drugs come from? How are they entering our states and destroying families? These are the questions that many have. Upon research, it has become clear that the Mexican Cartels are the main and biggest contributors to the narcotic empire. Pushing illegal drugs from Mexico through the border of Lerado, Mexico and Lerado, Texas has been the success of these cartels in distributing drugs into the United States. Government officials face the horror of senseless deaths as the fight for War on Drugs begins.…

    Introduction- Drugs are considered to be a modern day issue. However, if we look to the archeological records, we would find that our ancestors used drugs such as, alcohol, opium, cocoa, magic mushrooms among others for both medical and spiritual purposes. Throughout the years many policies have been created in order to minimize the use of drugs. For example, the first anti-opium laws were directed at the Chinese immigrants in the 1870's. In the 1900’s, an anti-cocaine laws were directed in the South at the black men. But it wasn’t until the 60’s where drugs became a big problem to society. Some Presidents have tried to propose and implement what they believed would be beneficial for our nation. Some of those implementations have succeeded…
