Week 6: Illicit: What do you think of it?




            What do I think of illicit trade of goods, well I think in my opinion it has both its positive and negative sides to it. First of all yes the bad, or negative sides of this out weighs the good. Like for example the illicit trade can lead to human trafficking which is highly illegal, and can also be very dangerous, and even at time deadly. It can also lead to high power gansters gaining power over high power political officials. Also the illicit trade can lead to a large problem of drug trafficking which has been a problem known around the world. The drug trade is also a very dangerous and deadly situation. The illicit in my opinion has its good sides. But I do not agree with the illegal side of it though. But however, I do believe it stimulates the economy. And it still is moving money through our system no matter how much we don’t agree with what is going on with the illicit trade. Also these illicit criminals build communities for people to live in. Although it’s a way for them to wash their money. Also another good side that be viewed by the illicit trade is it still gives jobs to people. Even though they are not the healthiest jobs or safest. People are still working and supporting their families. Or for the least part trying to take care of them. Yes illicit trade has is definite bad sides to it, but on the other hand it can have a few good points. Even though in my opinion it is a very bad, wrong, immoral thing to do to people and the world and everybody is affected by this massive crime committed through out the known world we humans live in.
