The drug war is a war against the mexican government trying to end the drug trade with the cartels. “American officials accuse him of contributing to “the death and destruction of millions of lives across the globe through drug addiction, violence and corruption”(Neuman). Some say that America’s demand on drugs is the reason there are so many deaths, but most people just blame the drug lords in especially Guzman. El Chapo is most blamed for the crimes because he is one the most popular drug lord and two he has the biggest drug cartel in Mexico called the Sinaloa cartel. There is how ever another famous cartel group called Los Zetas. “Just months later Mexican authorities found in the same area at least 47 mass graves with at least 193 yet unidentified bodies from victims who had been tortured by Los Zetas”(Ortiz). Even tho the Sinaloa cartel does murder a lot of people, Los zetas are mainly known for torturing a large numbers of humans. Therefore Guzman shouldn't take all the blame. Many blame him for corruption of the government in Mexico. “He fought the law, and he won. He beat what many Mexicans see as a corrupt and freckles governing class”(Neuman). The citizens of Mexico know it's not the cartels fault their government is defected. They actually support Guzman in making fun of the corrupt

Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Loera, also known as El Chapo, was born in the rural community of La Tuna, Badiraguato, Sinaloa (Beith, 2010). Guzman Loera started his trafficking career in the 1980’s working for the powerful Miguel Angel Felix-Gallardo (U.S Department of State, 2015); he was able to quickly move up the ranks because of his expertise in air logistics (U.S DOS, 2015). Guzman Loera is now the most powerful drug trafficker in the world and the leader of the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico. Thousands of killings have been attributed to Guzman Loera’s organization, along with kidnappings, and extortions. Mexican authorities arrested Guzman Loera on June 9th, 1993, for murder and drug related charges and was given a twenty year sentence in a maximum security prison in Jalisco, Mexico. However, he managed to escape from the maximum security prison on January 19, 2001 (U.S DOS, 2015). His escape from the maximum security prison in Jalisco has allowed him to

Freedom is the ability to express one's beliefs, wishes, desires, and so on. When people think freedom, they may think of the West being a major symbol of it. However, that is not necessarily the case in several instances. Freedom should be the ability to walk freely, as Chief Joseph described. The unfairness towards the Chinese, Native Americans, and the Hispanic Americans counteracts the idea of the West symbolizing freedom.

In 1993, EL Chapo was captured and sent to another high maximum security prison in Jalisco, Mexico. Initially, he was placed in a isolated facility until he was able to bribe and threaten the staff to place him with the other inmates. While there, they allowed him to have sex with female prisoners from other institutions, smuggle cocaine through Viagra pills, and treated him like a king (Fusion). Also, he stayed in contact with other extremely powerful drug allies, providing him with money and enforced their power among the guards (Grayson 58). After lawmakers did further investigation on his escape, it has been shown that seventy-one prison officials were receiving regular payments from 'El Chapo' (Morris 254). This continued for eight years (a few days before being extradited to the U.S.) until he decided that it was time for him to escape (Grayson 58). His major influence with his guards, led to them helping hide his body under dirty laundry and smuggling him out of the

The arrest of Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman was a victorious circumstance for the Mexican government, who have been closing down on his presence for the recent past years. Mexican authorities began taking down high ranked members of the Sinaloa Cartel including two of Guzman’s main associates. On February 22, 2014, the world’s most wanted man had also been captured. Although the biggest drug lord has been captured, the crime and violence left behind cannot be forgotten.

Why is it that many Mexicans and, in particular, Sinaloenses (Mexican’s that originate from the state of sinaloa) mystify the figure of Chapo Guzman? Why a high percentage of them resented his capture and celebrated his escape? In a recent survey that was conducted by Univision, they asked Sinaloenses; "With which character would you associate el Chapo with?” and the vast majority responded with Pancho Villa. How can one forget that the organization led by this Capo has been the most important and the most dangerous country to globalize the sale of marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin? His cartel occupies at least a 30% of the drug trafficking in Mexico and "came to dominate the global market for synthetic drugs".

Recent data, as released by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, concludes that the cartel yet remains as the largest drug traders in the US. In fact, before this arrest, El Chapo himself in an interview with Hollywood actor Sean Penn informed that “The day I don’t exist, it’s not going to decrease in any way at all. Drug trafficking does not depend on just one person.” In fact, experts themselves

Over years the issue of whether journalists have been treating there sources or clients ethically right have been the question on many peoples’ lips. There have been numerous instances where journalists have been seen as to take advantage of the situation at hand so as to either sell the story or gain popularity at the expense of the client. Therefore, what happens when the client is taken advantage and what are the repercussions that are involved? In this light, there is the story of El Chapo the most successful drug lord and surpassed even Escobar. Many have been dying to get the story about El Chapo since he is now considered to be one of the most wanted people in the world. What makes him interesting is the fact that he has been able to escape from prison twice. He was interviewed by Sean Penn and what remains is whether Sean Penn was able to teat his subject ethically right.

“Nos faltan 43”, a statement that will forever remind every mexican of the presidency of one of the worst rated presidents in recent history, Enrique Peña Nieto. When he took office in December of 2012, his approval rating was of 54%. Not the worst but pretty good, taking into account that he’d been elected from a fierce field of candidates with approximately 38% of the vote. The reform candidate of the discernible PRI, Partido Revolucionario Institucional (Institutional Revolutionary party), assured its people that he would address the country's issues focusing on the economy and safety of the mexican states. A difficult task trusted to a president who is heavily suspected of buying his presidency. With four and half years gone we can see that his techniques and his Democracy have not produced

The international drug trade from Latin American states is having an impact on a global scale. The trafficking of drugs along with corruptness and murder is an international conflict that is being fought daily. There are many aspects of the drug war from Mexico and other Latin American states which have effects on United States policy as well as policies from other countries that participate in the global suppression of illegal drugs.

Drug trafficking has become an increasingly growing problem in the world today. Illegal drug trade is a worldwide black market consisting of production, distribution, packaging, and sale of illegal substances. Although today’s "War on Drugs" is a modern phenomenon, drug problems have been a common problem throughout history. The market for illegal drugs is massive, when we consider the estimated global drug trade value is worth $321 billion (Vulliamy). The most drug trafficking happens on the border between Mexico and the United States. Former Mexican President Felipe Calderon said, “Our neighbor is the largest consumer of drugs in the world. And everybody wants to sell him drugs through our door and our window”
