Drug Trafficking In Colombia
In Colombia today is a peace process going on between the terrorists of the narco terrorist groups FARC and the government. For the Armed forces is difficult to understand that the government is negotiating with the FARC, while this narco-guerrilla has continued hitting the country, they are still killing soldiers, civil population and drug trafficking. Since 1945, this group has committed a lot of massacres against the civil population, they have been drug trafficking worldwide, and also they have been killing members of the Armed forces indiscriminately. Besides the fact that the FARC will not deliver all of their weapons until the government meets their demands. Now a days Colombia is losing the Democratic Security, now there is a sense

    Determination of the Type of Symbiotic Relationship Between Spanish Moss (Tillandsia Usneoides) and the Host Species the Southern Live Oak (Quercus Virginiana)

    In this lab, the relationship between Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides) and one of its host species, the Southern live oak (Quercus virginia) was observed on a portion of the University of Florida campus in Gainesville, FL. Spanish moss is an atmospheric epiphyte and the Southern live oak is a hardwood tree. Some possible interactions between the two species were neutralism, commensalisms, mutualism, and parasitism. It was hypothesized that the relationship would be commensalism, with Spanish moss benefited and the Southern live oak neither benefited nor harmed. The type of symbiotic relationship was determined using two factors, the relative health of the host oak tree and its relative load of Spanish moss. A two-way X2 test for independence was performed using the data recorded. Calculations gave a X2 value of 0.61 and p-value between 0.1 and 0.5, with one degree of freedom and the level of significance, α, equal to 0.05. Since the p-value was greater than the α value, the lab observations failed to reject Ho, and the conclusion was that the data supported no interaction between Spanish moss and the Southern live oak. Therefore, the lab observations did not support the hypothesis of commensalism between the two species.…

    Drug Cartels in Mexico

    There are seven drug cartels in Mexico (CRS 1). The most important cartels are Sinaloa and Juarez. The Sinaloa cartel operates in the states of Nayarit, Sinaloa and Mexico State (Reforma 1). The Juarez cartel operates in Sinaloa, Nuevo León, Chihuahua, Jalisco, Morelos; and Quintana Roo. Mexican cartels employ individuals and groups of enforcers, known as sicarios. Statistics show that more than twenty people are killed daily in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua in crimes related to drugs. Drug lords send their gunmen to strategic places where innocent people that are in the wrong place at the wrong time are killed. Narco Lords like Vicente Carrillo Fuentes and Joaquin el Chapo Guzman, fight among themselves for the territory in Chihuahua and Sinaloa. Every death increases the power that the Cartels have. In order to combat their illicit activity, The Mexican government should not delegate control of the States of Chihuahua and Sinaloa to drug cartels due to the lack of economic resources, lack of armament, and corruption.…

    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…

    Importance of Knowing, Understanding, and Following Policy Letter #5

    It is important to know what the contents are of Policy Letter #5 because if you decided to go out and explore Kentucky or Tennessee on the weekend you will know how far you are able to travel from Ft. Campbell. If you travel outside of the 150 mile range and there is an emergency where you have to get back on post within a couple hours and you can’t make it you the consequences could be severe. Not only will you get yourself in trouble most likely one of your Sergeants will take the heat with you also. It’s pretty much going to be a domino affect after that because your Sergeants are going to be questioned about your whereabouts and they have no clue where you are and it makes them look bad. The possible consequences of being late to a formation is a warning for a first time offense but its up to your leadership if they will do it. The second consequence is a Article 15 with will probably lead to demotion, reduction in pay, and up to 45 days of extra duty. This could also lead to your leadership not trusting you anymore. Even though it is a process to get leave or a pass it much better than having take your hard earned money and work for free. Having a pass or going on leave was started so that your leadership can have accountability of you just in case one of these accountability formations pop up and they can tell the First Sergeant where you are. If your Sergeant doesn’t have accountability of you it makes the whole platoon look back even though its only one person at fault. It’s bad enough that you pissed off the First Sergeant but you should never wanna piss off the whole platoon for your actions. Theirs nothing wrong with taking sometime off from work but you should go through the proper channels to get leave or a pass to cover yourself.…

    Drug Trafficking In The 80's

    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…

    John, Absolon In The Miller's Tale

    In many stories we are accustomed to, the “good” characters that are kind and affectionate triumph over the “evil”, who manipulate the weak through trickery. However, in Chaucer’s Miller’s Tale, the winner has qualities of a villain while the loser has benign qualities of winners. The three male characters, John, Absolon and Nicholas, who all have great affections for Alisoun, face different ends. Absolon who is able to get a hold of his emotions after his struggle with Alisoun, meets a victory while John meets a bitter end because of his great love for her. Nicholas, despite his great success in trickery loses focus and gets burnt harshly by Absolon. In the Miller’s Tale, the character’s ability to reason and overcome their emotions determines their final victory.…

    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.…

    Colombia and FARC rebels had engaged in a bloody civil war that has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives. Since 1964, the militant group has engaged in political kidnappings and carried out attacks on security forces in its battle against the government. The FARC has been hammering out peace terms with government negotiators since November 2012 to bring an end to five decades of war. The government wants a peace agreement signed by the end of 2013. Negotiations between the two sides began in October 2012 in Norway and moved to Cuba in November 2012.…

    The Role Of Human Trafficking In Central America

    Central America’s failing economic systems have left many of its citizens unemployed, leading many men, women, and children to become enticed by trafficked sex workers in a desperate attempt to provide for their families. Central America has now emerged as the largest market for trafficked individuals in the modern era. Central Americans once living on stable household incomes have experienced deep socioeconomic uncertainty and insecurity prompted by the excessive violence and corruption within local governments. Human trafficking has been able to succeed in regions like Central America because there is little opportunity for social nor economic advancement. In many impoverished Central American nations, dissipating job opportunities have left…

    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.…

    Drug Trafficking in the United States

    Drug use and abuse has been an American issue since the 1800’s. This country’s early struggles included insignificant, by today’s standards, issues such as trying to prevent farmers from manufacturing their own whiskey (Brown Jr., 1981). When one considers the current task of trying to keep entire communities from being destroyed by the effects of the trafficking of illegal drugs; there is no comparison. When most people hear the term drug trafficking, they automatically think of smuggling illegal substances into the country. Drug trafficking is actually defined as “an offense under federal, state, or local law that prohibits the manufacture, import, export, distribution, or dispensing of a controlled substance (or a counterfeit substance) or the possession of a controlled substance (or a counterfeit substance) with intent to manufacture, import, export, distribute, or dispense” ( eHow google search).…

    Drug Trafficking In The United States

    The scope and nature of the problem for this research paper is Drug Trafficking in the United States. The specific claim is that is the U.S. were able to drastically reduce the amount of drug trafficking, then the amount of people using drugs would have no choice but to decrease because the drugs would be harder to get. Also, if the U.S. were to legalize certain drugs, then the crime rate and abuse would probably decrease as well because the “glitz and glamour” would be gone. (A lot of people seem to want or go after things they shouldn’t, or are illegal).…
