assignment 1 Wright

1. I find it hard to find a nything interesting with Mexico City. If I had to make out one interesting thing it would also be the most disturbing. It is that how much the Mexican government is currupted. The article makes it sound like most of the police officers in the major cities are dirty.I mean look at Tijuana, it has more kidnappings in the world other than Baghdad. The drug trafficing down there also plays a big part in the kidnappings. When you talk about how many officers are in Mexico, it seems like the majority of them turn the other cheeck when a crime happens for a few bucks. My follow up question has to be, why is the Mexican government letting all these kidnappings happen?

2. I always knew thatMexico was in a sence weak but this has put a whole new perspective on things for me. It sort of seems like the police force is almost trying to take down their own government from the inside. The more corrupt officers the government gets is like having officers that stand against everything that the government stands for. i have never been to Mexico nor do I ever plan to after reading this article. People there just abduccted anywhere they can and even in broad daylight. And I would not want to be kidnapped.

3.A situation like this would most deffinatly keep me on edge. This incident would make me want to have more security as well as make sure I know who I'm with at all times. This is probally how most people felt after the 9/11 attack. The kidnappeers are terrorists that reside in Mexico. After hearing about the kidnappings and the corrupt police, it would deffinatly make me more suspicious and loose trust and repect to the police watching me in the city. These happenings would make me more sceptical to people I do not trust.
