    Pros And Cons Of Narco-Oligarchy

    Due to systematic racial exclusion from the economy during and immediately after the colonial period in Trinidad and Tobago, the majority of business owners at the formation of the Colombian drug cartels belonged to one of the following ethnicities: Syrian/Lebanese or East Indian. With international business connections and arrangements typically falling along racial, and sometimes familial lines, the primary cartels (Cali and Medellin) employed ethnically homogenous networks of traffickers to transport their product from Colombia to the United States. The Medellin cartel utilized a network of descendents of Syrian and Lebanese immigrants who came to the Caribbean at the start of the 20th century, some of whom Figueria alleges in Cocaine and Heroin trafficking in the Caribbean came to Trinidad to expand their heroin trafficking empire. The Cali cartel employed a similar network of Indians, whose ancestors came to the islands during British rule, and enjoyed a privileged position over the Afro-Trinidadian and Tobagonian slaves they replaced as indentured servants. While the bulk of the profits from the cocaine trade ultimately found their way back to Colombia, the networks of Syrian/Lebanese and Indian traffickers grew to great relative wealth for their participation in the market.…

    The Almighty Latin King Nation, an American Street Gang

    The Almighty Latin King Nation is a American street gang founded in Chicago in 1940, and active mostly in Chicago. Latin King documents reveal a man by the name "Gino Gustavo Colon" (a.k.a. Lord Gino) is considered the "SUN" of the Almighty Latin King Nation in Chicago and has been for a long time. Latin King headquarters is located on Beach and Spaulding in Northwest Chicago. Luis Felipe created the manifesto for the Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation (ALKQN) based on teachings he had picked up from his time in Chicago, the "motherland." Felipe designated himself as Inca and Supreme Crown. In 1995 Antonio Fernandez was designated Inca and Supreme Crown of New York State and New Jersey, and the ALKQN once again began a transformation. The Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation is the largest Chicago-based street gang in the United States. The Almighty Latin King Nation first emerged in Chicago during the 1940s when several young Puerto Rican males organized into a club. Their goal was to help each other overcome the problems of racism and prejudice that newly arriving Puerto Rican immigrants were experiencing. The Latin Kings are Chicago's largest gang and have been involved in numerous violent acts. Although the original members were of Puerto Rican decent, most members are now Mexican-American. They now allow members of all races to join, yet they are mostly composed of Spanish, Caribbean, Latvian, Italian, Portuguese, Mexican or South American members. As time progressed, the group's members became involved in violent crimes including murders, drug trafficking and robberies.…

    Cartel-Related Violence Sociology

    American citizens who are elitist and ignorant are numb to the real experiences that Latinos undergo. Somewhere south of the border, a man was just killed for trespassing enemy territory. Who killed him and what was the motive? The killer will remain the same; a member of a drug-cartel. However, the motive depends on the person you ask. The American citizens who have not been exposed to the topic of cartel-related violence will immediately respond that Mexicans are innately violent so killings such as this are expected from them. While the current social narrative is that Latinos are inherently violent, adopting a new economic perspective to this that accepts that violence is only a byproduct of capitalism will lead us to solve the…

    The Roman Catholic Church is something my family and I are familiar with. In Los Angeles I went to a co-ed Catholic school called St. Eugene.

That quote summarizes the movement dealing with Latina women in the Catholic Church.…

    Should Women Be Allowed To Work In The Early 1900's

    In our society we live in today, women who continue to work after having children are frowned upon. Women are criticized and blamed for working full time, and not spending enough time with their children. Nowadays, mothers have the luxury to choose between staying at home with their newborn children, and returning back to work. With women in the workforce, it shows their independence and positive effect they have on society. During the early 1900’s, women played one role, to stay at home and raise their children, while their husbands were out making all the money. Unlike the past, women today have the freedom to be successful in any job they pursue. Mothers who work part time after giving birth are able to spend quality time with their children,…
