Week 6 EOC: Illicit
Watching illicit was quite interesting. I was aware of the fact that knock offs exist. When you walk into a swap meet you are surrounded by knock off Hello Kitty, Jordan, Nike, and many others. I never knew how the reproduction of fake products could have such a negative impact worldwide. I think people are so naïve to the fact that purchasing such items could really create a controversy. It is sickening to see criminals making fake pharmaceuticals that can make innocent individuals extremely ill. All the illegal activity that has occurred over the years has been a mystery to me. Never did I think that people would be so desperate for money that they would mix multiple ingredients to make fake medication. I know for a fact that people sell fake handbags and you can usually tell by certain accents of the bag. It is unbelievable how the bags were so legit to the original designs. I have actually attended a close friend’s house while a woman was having a bag party. All the bags that she was selling were knock offs. She made really good money because women are really into purchasing something close to what they can’t afford. I personally didn’t buy anything because from working in retail at Coach (The handbag store) I learned to respect the product. It’s not fair for somebody to just make money off of a label that has worked hard to obtain their success. I think that the Governments should participate in investigations together in order to stop the crime. It’s not about what the actual item is, it goes way beyond material things. It’s sad to see human beings that are dying, getting sick, and being bribed into contributing. It’s not just up to the people who are in charge of things either; people need to think about what they are really getting themselves into. I fell as if this has had an impact on me; I’m going to do my part to not be involved in anything that was mentioned in this production.

Week 5 EOC: Lawyers Looking for Fame
I find it to be unfortunate that lawyers are using individuals in order to gain fame. In the circumstances detailed in the article, the severity of the matter determined whether or not a man would be able to be reunited with his family. Lawyers offered to take the case, but only if they could argue before the Supreme Court. Although the man broke the laws I believe that in order for a case to be taken it shouldn’t be for the wrong reasons. “ In the state of nature...all men are born equal, but they cannot continue in this equality. Society makes them lose it, and they recover it only by the protection of the law.” [Charles de Montesquieu] It is sad that people actually trust lawyers but in all reality you can’t be so sure even if you are paying them. I think that lawyers who take cases just because don’t put forth as much effort in order to do all they can “As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality”. [Albert Einstein] It is enough that somebody would have to endure something so horrible. I couldn’t imagine being taken away from my family. It’s unfair to the people who trust in these lawyers. The bad thing is in the event where the case is lost; there is no remorse from the lawyers. I doubt there would be any remorse even if they were paid. I understand that in order to be hired, experience in law is necessary. There is nothing wrong with having the experience to do the job. It is the dishonesty and wanting fame that is wrong. Change is good, I think lawyers need to seriously get it together and have a heart, but in all reality “The more laws, the less justice”. [Cicero]
