    Pablo Escobar: Organized Crime

    Pablo Escobar is maybe one of the biggest players in organized crime ever. Pablo Escobar's savage mind set is what set him different from other drug traffickers in Colombia. If he caught you stealing from him, he would have your hands caught off. Because of so many people after him, he decided to join forces with other gangs and big dogs in the drug trade. This was the formation of the Medellin Cartel. The cartel had great success. They had cocaine running through Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, Honduras, the United States , as well as Canada and Europe. At their peak, they supported the world's cocaine. They contributed to at least 84% of cocaine throughout the world. They were bringing in $420,000,000 a week. They were the ones to bring cocaine…

    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…

    Narcos On The Migrant Trail Summary

    In the early 1900’s Mexican migrants were free to enter and leave the U.S. whenever they felt like it. The primary concern of the border patrol was to keep the Chinese migrants out. For the most part every person who tried to get into the U.S. and looked hispanic was allowed and never questioned. Today Mexicans or people who look hispanic are being chased after by the border patrol and are being kept out. Since the U.S. is denying entry to these illegal immigrants they are going through extreme measures to get in. Most of them end up severely injured or dead. The book The Beast: Riding the Rails and Dodging Narcos on the Migrant Trail by Oscar Martinez talks about the experiences of these migrants which aren’t easy. Martinez goes to Mexico…

    Selena Quintanilla Research Paper

    When I was a little girl, I was a big fan of Selena Quintanilla. I had all her music, disks and posters all over my room. My dream was to meet her in person and it came true when I assisted one of her concerts. I knew everything about her even though I was 4 years old. She was a role model for me, she was family oriented and she is still today living in my memory. I memorized every song of hers word by word, and I would imitate her dancing all day long. As a little girl I could not understand why someone would have wanted to take her life away when she was a good person. Selena Quintanilla is considered to be one of the most popular and influential Hispanic music icons of all times because of her history, culture, and all the people she influenced with her charisma.…

    Film Noir Analysis

    In Chinatown, she is the widow of a murdered city official with a secret she is keeping from the rest of the word. In The Maltese Falcon, perhaps the most widely known detective film noir, she is the woman at the heart of a missing person’s case that keeps the audience guessing through the entire running time. As defined by the website Film Noir Studies, “she refuses to play the role of devoted wife and loving mother that mainstream society prescribes for women. She finds marriage to be confining, loveless, sexless, and dull, and she uses all of her cunning and sexual attractiveness to gain her independence” (Bayer.) This in itself may be part of the reason why we don’t see her as the hero of film noir. She is a character that contains traits that are traditionally rejected in women. Even with her all-around dynamism, she is often seen just as the sidekick to the detective or his one-dimensional…

    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.…

    Black Legend

    The black legend was the name given to the concept of cruelty and brutality spread by the Spanish during the 14th and 15th century. It can be said to be an anti-Spanish movement, which was started due to political and religious torment done by the Spanish on the people. It was the dominance and control of the Spanish over Europe that lead to the black legend of the Spanish. It was through this particular propaganda that the people were able to understand how various European countries had fallen prey to Spanish cruelty and misconduct. They were being religiously and politically divided just because of the supreme power that the Spanish held at the time. They wanted to stand tall as a nation and wanted to develop and advance together. They were not willing to lose their heritage, cultural values and spiritual beliefs to the hands of the Spanish cruelty and nastiness.…

    Essay On Frida Kahlo

    Frida Kahlo was a very passionate Mexican self portrait artist who believed in the impossible for women in the early 20th century. She was often seen as a feminist and a rebel during her time because of the way she expressed herself in public. Not only was she known for her fascinating artwork but was also known as the wife of the famous muralist Diego Rivera. In a way Frida Kahlo was destined to suffer. According to the book, Frida Kahlo: The Brush of Anguish, Martha Zamora states that, at the age of six Kahlo was diagnosed with polio and her father was the only one who got her through that (18). As Kahlo got older she had the life she had always wanted up until September 1925. Kahlo was on her way home when the bus she was on got into a huge accident. The accident impacted her whole life which caused her to suffer some serious injuries. Some of the wounds included “fracture of the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae; pelvic fractures; fracture of the right foot; dislocation of the left elbow; deep abdominal wound produced by a metal rod entering through the left hip and exiting…
