Social Change and Social Problems

Globalization, urbanization, human and drug trafficking are all interconnected in that they fuel the economy and will continue because of corruption and greed. For one it is a matter of looking at things logically the core problem in countries is that they succumb to illegal acts such as human trafficking and drug trafficking and suffer from poverty and corrupt governments. 

The above Youtube video talks about the violence of the ongoing drug wars in Mexico.

I believe that the current focus is missing on third world countries that the basic problem is poverty. For one people need to understand how drug trafficking begins in that poverty is the perfect breeding ground for drug trafficking in that many third world countries have corrupt governments and are forced into this profession in that there is a high demand for opium from wealthier countries and poor countries end up becoming the supplier. Many peasant farmers are forced into more poverty and pay off debts unfortunately by selling their children.  For instance Afghanistan is the source for 90% of Britain’s opium and is a major supplier to the U.S. 

Human trafficking is another major social problem that affects everyone around the world, especially its victims. Most of them are forced into lives that they never wanted, taken away from their homes and families or coerced into thinking that they will have promising career. Most are drugged constantly and are in constant debt to their "bosses" and are threatened with injury or death if they try to leave. This is a common occurance every day but it its hard to identify these victims because of the threats of injury or death.
