Illicit Trafficking

Illicit Trafficking
I think that the Black Market is terrible for the world’s economy, governments, and peoples’ safety, health, and general welfare. However, I think that illegal trading will be around forever. The movie mentioned that it’s nearly impossible to stop because of all of the networking and how it’s so huge that it’s all over the whole world. Another reason I think it will be around forever is that it has been going on since the beginning of modern civilization. If people see something they crave, for the attention, envy, or glory they think it will give them, and then they see what appears to be the same exact item for an affordable price, they will most likely buy it. Even though the person might know the item is made illegally, they have the mindset of only being one person, for example: “If I buy this, I’m contributing to the world of bad that is the Black Market…but it doesn’t really matter because I’m only one person, I probably won’t get caught, and one person isn’t making the world terrible, so other people can take the blame.” But, they don’t realize that if a billion people share that same exact feeling, then every person is the problem and almost 1/7 of the world’s population is the problem. However, people have always and will always feel that they’re not the one responsible for such problems, so they will continue to do wrong and brush it off their backs like nothing.
