1:The inequality in the income in Latin America  

The situation of inequality is pretty much the worst in the world. High-income people don’t want to pay for the tax and are not willing to help with the infrastructure development like the hospitals, universities and cultural life. Also, the drug-related crime and governmental corruptions are the reason for some of the higher income people to lose faith in their country.This is a ferocious cycle. If the government does not try to revolutionize their inner system, the Latin American would go on deteriorating. We have to know that  the latin American countries used to be the fastest growing economy, but now they are they are greatly undermined by the government corruption and drug related issues.

For this topic, I want to focus on the reasons the richest people don’t want to invest in their home country, to help with the economic improvement.

2:Drug Cartel in Latin America.

The reason I am interesting in this is because the drug is the serious problems across the latin America. The countries like Columbia and Peru are the major producer of cocaine and the most of the drug are exported to the North America and Europe. It is said that Mexican and Colombian generate a total of $18 to $39 billion dollars per year. And along with the profits, conflicts between major drug cartel and the crime conducted by drug cartels are always major issues in those areas. For instance, Latin America and the Caribbean has the world’s highest crime rates, with murder reaching 32.6 per 100,000 of population in 2008. And the conflicts increase as the government start to declare war on the drug cartel. For instance violence has surged in Mexico since 2006 when Mexican President Felipe intensified the Mexican Drug War.

A fully operational submarine built for the primary purpose of transporting multi-ton quantities of cocaine located near a tributary close to the Ecuador/Colombia border that was seized by the Ecuador Anti-Narcotics Police Forces and Ecuador Military authorities with the assistance of the DEA.

And especially, I want to focus on the period when Escobar became the major drug cartel in      Columbia and how it affects theColumbia people’s life.
