Week 6 EoC: Illicit

It’s very difficult for a country like ours, the USA to deal with criminal activities within our borders alone, and this is considering we are a first world nation. When you start thinking about the difficulty that governments have in second or third world nations, you can imagine just how difficult fighting this all really is. Now add the fact taht in our modern times how small the world has become through the internet, you can now imagine how difficult the act of controlling criminal acts like counterfeiting and illicit has become. Controlling your own borders is one thing, but considering how interconnected criminal organizations have become, I really think it’s become just about a losing war.
Truth is, nations will probably never get a hold on every crime ever committed, but what we have here is a free for all where criminals majority of the time are getting away with, and that’s what’s really important. Not only are criminals winning, they’re dominating.
Now when it comes to my personal opinion about all this, well, I have the same issue most governments have to deal with. We won’t exceed the borders of their own country. Honestly, I’m no government or international official whose job it is to deal with this growing issue. So another words, as long as it has no direct effect to my life and the people I know, I really don’t care.
To be honest, I have a bit of contempt for capitalism, and I care less if multimillion dollar organizations and companies around the world are getting ripped off because of this issue. I care about the fake pharmaceuticals because in a cases like those people’s lives are endangered over bogus medications. But either than that and cases similar, I really don’t care to be frank. Now you can hold be contempt for my rash opinions and my favoring to stay ignorant. But the fact is the world is a very ugly place, and it’s only in fat countries like ours where you have people sitting on top wondering why the rest of the world cries for bread when they could be eating cake.
