  • However, it is understood that many of the youth that are getting involved in drug trafficking are not staying in school
  • If the government can invest in schools and educate youth so they are equipped to even initiate social reform, then perhaps it could be not only another problem, but also a potential solution.
  • he reasons for the traffickers to desire Brazil as its transit country choice are quite clear: Brazil is so big, it is easy to elude pursuers, it has markets to the entire world, and it has consumers.
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • Becoming a big player in 1980s, Brazil is only in knee-deep at most
  • The UNODC tags Brazil to be particularly vulnerable to trafficking due to its proximity to the main drug-producing countries in Latin America.
  • Brazil is now considered to be a gateway to world markets of illicit drugs produced in the Andean region.
  • It is mainly a transit country for cocaine headed for EU or the US.
  • t is significant that eighty percent of drugs produced and processed in Bolivia are destined for Brazil
  • One thing to consider is how affective an international criminal court of the future would be as the next step in international effort towards drug trafficking reduction.
  • The lack of an authoritative and respected position is seriously harming the social dynamic of Brazil.
  • The police force is seen as weak, underpaid, insufficient, and corrupt.
  • The lack of manpower coupled with the corruption of the police force empowers the gangs as well as upsetting the citizens.
  • In Brazil, some feel that the government needs to invest more in the police force. Right now they are not getting paid enough to care and are mostly all bought off by drug lords to keep quiet.
  • The UNODC backs up this opinion strongly and goes on to explain that because the police officers are not paid sufficiently they have no choice but to live in high-risk areas, some in which a police officer is killed every 17 hours.
  • 1.Government needs to not only invest more social expenditure, but also take the steps to ensure the effectiveness of those investments. 2. Equalize Distribution of Wealth. 3.Reduce social inequalities and prejudices.
  • It may be that when the Brazilian government and society can offer the impoverished a better option, the drug trade, or at least the power of the drug lords may diminish.
  • The two main components of the drug problem are consumption and export, or traffic
  • Brazil is the center for illicit drug transport and export, it is still considered as a nation of only medium consumption
  • World listings of consumption of both cocaine and cannabis show Brazil to be 55th and 114th for the drug use percentage for populous, respectively

global world food crisis factors

shared by Miah Murphy on 02 Nov 11 - No Cached
  • There is an ominous global crisis about to transpire from a shortage of food and a decline in the global financial system, and it will have a dire effect on all humanity.
  • What is a Food Crisis? “A food crisis occurs when rates of hunger and malnutrition rise sharply at local, national, or global levels. This definition distinguishes a food crisis from chronic hunger, although food crises are far more likely among populations already suffering from prolonged hunger and malnutrition. A food crisis is usually set off by a shock to either supply or demand for food and often involves a sudden spike in food prices.” Timmer, C. (2010)
  • Climate Change & Food Shortage
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • The effects of climate change are the leading cause of a food shortage.
  • Global Population Growth & Food Crisis
  • The global population is growing at an alarming rate and providing enough food to combat this problem is becoming challenging. The current rate of food production will not be enough to feed the growing population. Food production will have to be increased according to the growth of the world’s population if we are to avoid a total food crisis.
  • In order to have a sustainable future, more farmland will have to be designated to increase crop production.
  • Plant Disease
  • Plant disease can demolish entire crops and spread to other crops within in a region. Plant diseases are hard to control, since they are usually discovered after they have infected the crops.
  • Shortage of Food.. Who Will It Affect?
  • In the event of a food shortage, the possibility of riots and chaos against governments pose a significant risk.
