First classmate post:  <\/strong><\/em>Darwin Perez<\/strong> Drug cartels are a group of individuals that illegally operate and sell a controlled substance. Their end goal is to make as much profit as possible and control the market they are in. Historically, these individuals have used great violence to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

assert dominance over their competition or any other entity that wants to shut down their operation. They have used<\/p>\n\n\n\n

grotesque violence against their competition, authority figures, and innocent members of the community that go against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although some cartels operate very well organized, I don\u2019t think they would be able to behave as their legal cartel counterparts. These are groups of people that want to dominate the market within a region, just like gangs in the United States want to dominate certain parts of a city. This leads to fights between cartels and more violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting aside the violence drug cartels inflict on innocent people, other cartels are illegal in over 150 countries. In the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United States, for example, there are antitrust laws that prohibit cartels. This is because cartels can result in increased<\/p>\n\n\n\n

prices for a specific product because of the lack of competition in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drug cartels may form agreements between them just like any other legal company, but the greedy nature of the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

business drives these individuals to betrayal if they start losing on profits. The goal of a drug cartel is to make as much money as possible no matter the illegality of it.  They can do this with drugs, extortion, human trafficking, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second classmate post: <\/strong><\/em>Orane Palmer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cartel is an organization created from a formal agreement between a group of producers of a good or service to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

regulate supply to regulate or manipulate prices. In other words, a cartel is a collection of otherwise independent<\/p>\n\n\n\n

businesses or countries that act together as if they were a single producer and thus can fix prices for the goods they<\/p>\n\n\n\n

produce and the services they render, without competition.  The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

is the world’s largest cartel. It is a group of 13 oil-producing countries whose mission is to coordinate and unify the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

petroleum policies of its member countries and ensure the stabilization of oil markets. OPEC’s activities are legal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

because U.S. foreign trade laws protect it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drug cartels are large, highly sophisticated organizations composed of multiple DTOs and cells with specific assignments such as drug transportation, security\/enforcement, or money laundering. Drug cartel command-and-control structures are based outside the United States; however, they produce, transport, and distribute illicit drugs domestically with the assistance of DTOs that are either a part of or in an alliance with the cartel.  The best-known example of this is the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medellin Cartel, which was headed by Pablo Escobar in the 1980s until he died in 1993. The cartel famously trafficked<\/p>\n\n\n\n

large amounts of cocaine into the United States and was known for its violent methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The likelihood of violent members of a drug cartel behaving like cartels in legitimate markets is low, the keyword is these are violent members meaning they resort to violence when things don\u2019t go their way.  There is a possibility that these<\/p>\n\n\n\n

violent members could be rehabilitated and work in a legitimate business, but they will likely revert to their old ways and resolve conflict with violence.  Theoretically, they know how to operate in the structure of a cartel so they could work in a legitimate cartel it is just a matter of if they are willing to follow the rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
