Drug Cartels Terrorize Drugs

Summary
This paper summarizes the activity of the drug cartels that is responsible for terrorizing the citizens inside and outside Mexico. They are responsible for ruining young people’s lives by making them addicted to the drugs. These drug cartels are in Mexico and send drugs illegally throughout the world and their goal to make a lot of money by making more people to purchase their drugs. These organizations work like Mafia that no power could stop them from doing so. They have threatened people to the extent that no one is ready to talk or write against them at schools, public places and even online blogs. Numerous incidents and crimes have happened in the past couple to days by these drug cartels which have been a sign of terror among people.

Drug Cartels’ Activity in Mexico Usage of drug has become a very common thing among young generations in the United States of America. Teenagers are buying drugs online or through friends illegally. There are numerous illegal drug users in the world today and the United States is the biggest market for drugs. There is a big organization
called Drug Cartels which illegally sell drug to the United States of America and all over the world illegally and yet there is no power to stop them from doing so. This organization originates in Mexico. Member of these organizations have committed so many crimes for the past couple of years which has threatened people recently. The use of illegal drug in the United States through these Drug Cartels has been a big problem and is only getting worse year after year. Drug cartels grow and then ship drugs into the United States through several different ways. Process of such actions should be prevented as soon as possible before it ruins our young generations’ lives. According to CNN, “Mexican Drug Cartels have sent a warning to bloggers by hanging two people from the bridge in northern Mexico accompanied by a hand- written note which said "This is going to happen to all of those posting funny things on the Internet," one sign said. "You better! Pay attention. I'm about to get you." There has been numerous other crimes and violence in Mexico. However this shocking news is a big treat for everyone who is writing against the Drug Cartels in social network, blogs, or, instant messaging. It is said that the dead bodies belong to a young men and a woman in their early twenty’s who run online blogs on the internet and they seem to write something against the drug cartels organization. The aforementioned incidents has had a short-term impact on young people’s interests in running online blogs and has made them discouraged to write freely about these Drug Cartel. After reading this article I came to talk to a friend of mine the other day. He was born in the U.S. but his parents are from Mexico and he has family in Mexico. I told him that Mexico may need to ask for our help soon to prevent drug abuse in their country and my friend said that Mexico would never ask for anyone’s assistance because they are too proud to ask for help to prevent the issue and would never allow American troops on their soil. He told me about these drug cartels in different parts of Mexico working like Mafia. However, I think despite of the fact that Mexico does not need our help, we should offer it. I believe there have been more people killed in Mexico by the drug violence in the last five years than there have been Americans killed in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The long term impacts of drug dealings through these Drug Cartels have been seen on both countries, Mexico and the United States. America has grown to be the wealthiest and most powerful country, and most of the time is the one who helps other countries that are in need. However, the drug issue has been going for a long time without any source to let it stop. According to the Drug War Fact, “right now, approximately fifteen hundred thousand five hundred and fifty two dollars are spent in past couple of years for drug use in the United Sates” while another country is suffering poverty and have less recourse to accommodate people with enough resources such as food, shelter, and clothing to stop poverty. Drug Cartels employ people who illegally pass the border and enter the United States’ soil. These people, the majority of whom comprise young people are responsible for making as many people addicted to using drugs as possible. Therefore, they could keep business running. To summarize, I am against the drug cartels activities and terrorizing people of Mexico and playing with young American lives by making them addicted to drugs.
The people who are the victims of these drug cartels are ones who do not know the bad effects of using drugs. They think that some of the drugs they are using like Marihuana, cocaine, and heroine give them energy and make them active and energetic in their daily work routine are actually the poison which takes their lives gradually. These people are our young generations who are supposed to be our countries’ future doctors, engineers and lawyers. So why don’t we raise our voices and fight against this criminal actions of the drug cartels who are responsible for destroying our love ones’ lives. We have to ask our government and policy makers to prevent the usage and illegal shipment of the drugs from Mexico to our
country.
