WEEK 6 EOC ILLICIT

Today we watched a video in class that was by far one of the scariest documentaries I have ever seen. The black market is a very dangerous place to be at, yes it does make a lot of money but many suffer in the process. Not only do many people suffer but also our economy, and many successful companies that are being ruined by replica companies.  This is not only about handbags, jewelry, and movies. This also happens with human kidneys, and body parts. This mainly happens in china. All over the world this fake material stuff is transported the people who own these industries make so much money they don’t know what to do with it. Many come to cities such as Las Vegas, Nevada and buy many houses. In the video one person built a whole new complex of condos! If you go to the black market in china they don’t have the replica “fake products” out on display they actually have to take you to the ware house where there are many fakes from Chanel, LV, Prada, and Coach. If you do make them take you to the ware house they take you around all over, and in circles so you don’t remember where you are going, so you cannot go get the police telling them the location. Every day many governments and police try to work together to catch these criminals the problem is that they are no fast enough for the black market. When products are shipped from different countries it is easy to stuff a purse with drugs such a cocaine or heroin. The black market claims that they can offer many jobs for the less fortunate but in my opinion is that they just make those people’s lives worse by exposing them to more lying and scamming. The most interesting that I also learned is to never put your credit card on a movie website that lets you watch black market movies because your credit card will have charges that you didn’t make very quickly. In South America they also make a lot of fake medicine by making it the same color, without having the same ingredients or chemicals the big problem with this is that if you take this “medicine “ your illness will not go away it will just get worse, and you might even die. Now that I see something that is produced by the black market I think about the humans that may have died in the process of the product being produced, maybe you were trying to the right thing, and you were at the wrong place at the wrong time.
