Societal Concern and the Issue of Police Corruption in Mexico There is a natural difference between truth and falsehood and right and wrong. Since the concept of rules and regulation has evolved and developed over time, there have been certain people who were chosen to enforce those regulations. Society looks to members of law enforcement to patrol, protect and guard property, lives and humanity. Without the rules and regulations set forth by governing officials, criminal activities would lead mankind on a downward spiral; economies would falter, governments would collapse and industries would
When he was asked whether he would favor the prohibition of the bilingual ballot, he simply stated, “Of course not.” Wills’ continues in the next section stating that our national identity and our federal laws are being weakened by immigration that is influenced by these bilingual ballots. He also uses this anecdote in the fourth section by showing how our laws are weakening. That these illegal immigrants are able to ask for bilingual ballots because the law is weakening and they are able to immigrate into the country in illegal ways without knowing how to speak English or know anything about our politics. Although the chief rhetorical aim of the article appears to be to inform Americans rather than persuade them as to why the bilingual ballot should be prohibited, why is Will not taking up a more serious tone if he felt so strongly about the
Abstract Priority for all nations is the fight against terrorism and drug trafficking, as this has become challenging with globalization. Globalization is a process among people, governments from other nations, organizations to interact and integrate by trade, investing and informational technologies. Social globalization can affect several things such as cultural clashes, disrupts people ways of living, including political and social relations. Terrorism and drug trafficking in Mexico has affected their globalization and security. The FBI defines domestic terrorism as the "unlawful use of force or violence, committed by a group(s) of two or more individuals, against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives (Terrorism, 2012).
The increase in power within the drug cartels makes the future of organized crime seem bleak regarding society, but positive for the OC units themselves. The 1980s brought about many changes in the world of drug trade. The United States government began blocking trades routes from the Caribbean, forcing drug smugglers to take different routes. The new routes ran through the Pacific and Central American isthmus which led smugglers straight to Mexico. Mexicans can smuggle just about anything across the border and upon this realization came the Mexican drug cartel boom.
Unless we fight the war on drugs and reinforce the ports of entry, the major threat to the US will eventually extend beyond our ports and crime will continue to rise. The Effects of Border Security defiantly contributes to drug trafficking, crime activity, and death. The US Congress must step up border security and make it a top priority. This stance will alleviate further risk to the US and Mexico. The effects illegal drug trafficking has on the U.S.-Mexico border is astonishing.
With these appalling circumstances who can blame illegal aliens seeking the promise of a better life? Victor Davis Hanson does, author of "Mexifornia: A State of Becoming" feels that illegal aliens aren't only a burden on the economy, but also a hindrance to the purity of American society/culture. I however don't agree with Hanson's ideology, and I firmly believe Mexifornia Hanson’s “essay within a memoir” is a critically flawed piece of literature in many regards. Hanson's work questions the very status of the state of California, as a flood of illegal immigrants from Mexico continues to cross into California unveiled, and hence Hanson's usage of terms such as "Mexifornia" and "Calexico". While Hanson makes significant points in terms of the reasoning behind this "great migration" of illegal immigrants, the rest of his work is too hypothetical and contradictory to be seriously taken into account.
Initiatives spring forth to attack the high crime rates caused by gangs. The decline of stable families is an obvious cause of gang popularity, along with urbanization and poverty, but those conditions and trends today are almost impossible to reverse. Mix in the allure and power of money from illegal drug sales, and the weapons used to survive in the illegal drug business, and the current disaster survives all initiatives to stop it. Public opinion, not science, drives reform. Some decades ago, the American public demanded a war on drugs, three-strikes legislation, mandatory minimum sentences, new criminal statutes and the abolition of parole in the federal system.
Due to these new aspirations of globalization there is an increase in power. Gangs and drug lords with this new power operate on a global level. The government cannot control them; some gangs can even control certain outcomes in different countries. This high concentration of global threats created organizations from all over the world that have banded together to hold up authority and protect their citizens. The main focus on this paper is the effects of globalization on crime specifically on drug lords and criminals, but also by examining how these criminals (drug lords and gangs) make money by, illicit drug trafficking, human trafficking, and money laundering.
The article “The Cashless Society Almost Here and With Some Very Sinister Implications” contends that the government is currently setting in place a global disaster that will push us into a cashless society. How would a cashless economy be different from our paper money and coin system? The author, Patrick Henningsen, demonstrates that the world as we know it will be dramatically different. The ease of electronic systems has made using paper money unpopular. While swiping your credit card at your local retailer seems like a good idea, there is a much deeper implication of a cashless society.
The definitive answer of course is there is no universally practiced direction for guiding ones ship through the economic swell (democratic capitalism is basically the closest bet). I found myself watching a truly comical and hilarious film: Dr. Strangelove. A line resonated with me; “war is too important to be left to the politicians”, said by the deranged General ‘Jack Ripper’ (IMDB, 2012). Luckily I had a pen and paper in front of me and I wrote this down¬¬¬¬--- is International Political Economy to important to be left to governments? Neo-Liberals would say it is too important to be left to the government; they would however say that the government and state are influenced by numerous factors such as factors deriving from individuals, corporations or interest groups (O’Brien & Williams, 2010, pg.
