    Summary: Drug Trafficking In Colombia

    Regardless of what people might think Colombia has strongly fought the drug trafficking for more than 60 years. The Army has been fighting capos, Cartels, and guerillas who switched his communist ideology for terrorist ideology. Now a days the narco-guerrilla is supporting economic in drug trafficking. On the other hand, this battle has brought a negative impact in the Army. According to some studies made by the Army Health Direction: “The curiosity is usually the beginning of this problem and the lack of education, which has influenced some privates to believe that marijuana makes them stronger, helps them to improve their performance, physical and mental”. This belief has made a stereotype and has influence the new generation…

    Colombain Drug Cartels

    In the late 20th century, Colombia has been a haven for violence, social unrest, and illegal drug trafficking prompted by uneven development throughout the country. In 1984, the election of a new president sparked violence in Colombia, leading to the assassination of the minister of justice. The very apparent inadequacy of the government to control violent attacks was made obvious to the drug cartels, who then used this weakness in government to gain political influence with bribery, threats, and political contributions. Colombia’s isolated landscape abated the ever growing drug production. It’s location in the northwest corner of South America allowed drug shipments to be easily be made to the United States or Europe. From the production and economy of cocaine to the notorious cartels, large amounts of drugs imported into the US, and Colombian and US efforts against the drug war; Colombia is a germane subject in our history. The location and loopholes in the Colombian government make the country a thriving place for illegal drug activity.…

    Persuasive Essay On Plan Colombia

    “It [Plan Colombia] was initially conceived largely as an anti-narcotics collaboration, and that part of the plan was hardly a rousing success. Colombia’s drug trade was splintered but far from destroyed, while the drug cartels; logistical control of the trade simply shifted to Mexico. And coca production, which was reduced for a time largely through a controversial US-supported aerial eradication program, has surged back in some regions in recent…

    drugs in americas paper 1

    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. However, what happens if you grow up in a lifestyle where you're unable to achieve these goals? Today, many grow up in less fortunate, negligent communities and families. As a result, ambition and hope of the American dream is lost and many find themselves lost in the drug world. As a consequence, our society at whole has responded to this drug dependency possessing; addiction, disease, and higher crime than ever before. Acknowledging this growing problem, our government has created and put billions of dollars into The War on Drugs policy. However, despite the great deal of efforts and money spent to put drug users and sellers to a halt , America still cannot shake the drug crisis. In this paper, I will discuss why the Drug War policy is doomed for constant cycle of failure, why it’s failing, and what must be done to successfully to free our society from possible gloom.…

    The Role Of Drug Trafficking In Colombia

    A large portion of FARC’s profits now come from drug trafficking; however, they weren’t major drug traffickers when Plan Colombia was first implemented. Peter Dale Scott, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley and author of several books on this topic, noted that the Colombian government estimated in 2001 that paramilitary groups controlled 40% of the cocaine exports; whereas the FARC controlled only 2.5%. The FARC had been more involved in the “taxing” of the drug trade, but they have since significantly increased their role in production by forcing farmers to grow cocaine. Economics and geopolitics are the clear reasons why the U.S. government implemented such a flawed drug policy which targets the FARC while turning a blind eye to the attacks committed by right-wing paramilitary groups.…

    Mexican Drug War Research Paper

    Mexico is and has been in a state of unrest for many years now. I have found myself often well informed on what is or has been going on in the country. My best friend is from Mexico, from a small city just outside of Mexico City. Her family has ties to the government, so I often hear about different situations that have occurred to her and her loved ones. The news article I read does not explicitly talk about gender and how women specifically are affected, but I can make assumptions. Mexico is in a state of unrest, violence levels are higher than ever, and the United States is constantly threatening to send people back to the country, when neither the country nor the people can afford that. The violence rates are continuing to rise,…

According to psychiatric times states "Family involvement is an important focus in working with Hispanic and Native American communities.

    Drug Trafficking

    The media represents Mexico drug scene as a replica of the Colombian Model. Mexico did not begin to traffic drugs until sixty years ago before the Colombians decided to get into the trade. There are two different political systems in both countries; the history and the structural relationship of the drug traffickers to the political powers in Mexico. Where did drug trafficking begin and exactly where did it come from. Nowadays, all I hear in the news is that the drugs were traffic through the border of Mexico. Everything is always coming from Mexico, not Colombia or Cuba. How do we stop drug traffickers from crossing drugs across the border. The lack of research that needs to be done to stop the drug traffickers is another reason why the Colombians have picked up on what the Mexican drug traffickers have been doing for the past six decades. The concerns in the drug trafficking is the historical sociology of drug trafficking, the drug use, and the relationship between drug traffickers and the political powers in Mexico. The objective of this paper is to show the comprehensive vision of drug related problems in Mexico since the end of the last century.…
