Research Essay Exhibit

For my conversation research essay, I will explore the world of drug trafficking and drug wars in Mexico and the countries it does the illegal business with. My exhibit will be a crime committed by a drug cartel against an innocent victim. This will illuminate the sources of the drug trafficking problem and its close ties to violence and politics. The conversation will be about the best possible solution to this severe problem. The conversation will be between experts who believe drugs should be legalized to take the money and power out of the system, and those who believe that legalizing drugs would cause an increase in junkies, further fueling the business. My own opinion will probably be a middle ground, with a heavy government involvement.
