We chose this topic because drug trafficking is a major concern in México’s security, it affects the lives of many mexicans, that live submitted to fear and insecurity. Almost every mexican is exposed to drug presence, and some groups are vulnerable to suffer consequences in their development and the realization of a healthy life. Drug trafficking affects the whole country, with a government submitted into corruption, unsafe streets, the traffic of armament and other related crimes like human and organ trafficking. The topic made me research news, and made me learn many of the things that at first instance I ignored, I learn why it is an important topic in México and how it can be related to the body and to the environment, and the biological impacts that it can produce in the human being’s life.

We chose this topic because it is a lingering issue in Latin America. We wanted to fully understand the impact of this problem in society, so that we may work toward a solution. We were motivated by the desire to better understand this topic and to achieve a solution. I feel that many people are unfairly affected by this issue, both by drugs themselves and by the people who deal them. Drug-related problems can destroy families and affect society as a whole.

Consumo de alcohol y drogas pueden agudizar ideas suicidas

-Newspaper: Informador.mx

The specialist Esmeralda Yelisse García Ortega, made a study in Guadalajara, Jalisco about drugs being related to depression and anxiety. A percentage of people that inherit these substances are linked to multiple cases of suicide attempts, the article states that if a consumer tends to reveal a suicide attempt it can actually be a red light and must not be ignored. The symptoms of a depression are: mood changes, isolation and a sudden disinterest in life; the lack of sleep and the desire to eat are also common symptoms of depression. What the article suggests, is that parents and family must approach their relatives with emotional support when they are going through a crisis and provide psychiatric help of any near “IMSS” facility.

Peña Nieto da un giro sin precedentes en su política sobre las drogas

-Newspaper: El pais

Enrique Peña Nieto has completely changed the drug politics, 5 grams of cannabis was penalized by the law, but is now expanding to 28 grams, all this with the intention of releasing the consumers in prison with fewer quantities than 28 grams. A study made by “Cide” states that 10.2% of prisoners in México are there because of carrying cannabis, the state used too many resources to imprison consumers that were in no intentions of selling the drug. Peña Nieto plans of encountering new medicinal uses for marijuana, and now porting marijuana for personal consume is no longer a felony, but the mere possession of cannabis keeps being a crime.

We choose this topic because in the last decades drug trafficking has grown exponentially in Mexico, becoming an international conflict. drug cartels have been gaining power in a way that they have become of the richest organizations in Mexico. Drug trafficking as a business is an important problem because of the drug addicts and new people they drive to addictions every year as this new people become new buyers. The most damaging part of this cartels and the drug business are the problems it creates in the streets of Mexico as the cartels fight for the control of the territory that usually creates an armed fight between them and takes innocent casualties with them. Many laws and new ways of solving this problem are fighting this problem but in my opinion this will never stop unless we eliminate it from the roots. Every Time a leader of a cartel is captured by the authorities new leaders take the spot f the last one and this is because the demand will always exist and that is where we need to work if we teach the new generations how drugs affect the country we will stop the demand and this problem will be solved.

I personally chose this topic because drug trafficking is one of the biggest problems today and it is present here in Mexico, we see people affected by this problem very frequently. My motivation is that even though you think there’s nothing you can do about it there’s always something. for example we as students can spread the word about drugs and keep our friends from consuming drugs. I feel bad that Mexico is a country affected by this problem but I feel hopeful that we can help reduce this problem. I feel this way because I see there is a lot of people and organizations working against this problem.

Reflexión: We chose this topic because it has a lot of controversy, and sadly Mexico is one of the principle actors, drug trafficking is an issue that will always exist because of positive and negative drugs effects on the human body and on the environment, also it is a huge business for a lot of people illegal obviously and that's what makes it an uncontrollably big problem. This topic motivated me to find relevant information about drug trafficking and I hoped to find positive results about Mexico’s position, but it didn't happen. In a way it makes me feel insecure in my own country because drugs can be deal everywhere and so can be very close to me and to everyone. I think that way because most of the times authorities in Mexico are corrupt so I don't believe that they are very strict with the  mexican constitution .
