Hypothesis: The public as a whole sometimes does not know what really goes on around the world since our eyes do not recognize sight and mind of the world. One major problem concerning Mexican territory and has been around for many years are the Mexican drug cartels, and they are still getting stronger to this day. Some people have failed to gain the required education to know about this problem. My hypothesis is if the public were to become informed about this dangerous problem, then that would decrease the chances of someone falling into this business.
Context: The research I conducted targeted mainly high school students and Early College students. These respondents are the most important, because they are starting to grow up and live life with experiences may create an easier way for this influence to reach them. I picked teenagers versus adults, because most teens are an easier target to go for since they are just growing up. Adults in a way have lived long enough to know about most problems occurring in this world.

Data Analysis:
Mexican drug Cartels is a group of people who sell, buy, import, and export illegal guns/ drugs:
- Within the past years it has only been getting stronger more and more members start to join this business, and while the government thinks the cartels get weaker a new event occur within the country to show the government wrong. Nothing good can come from these kinds of groups only hate and suffering. Public audience filled a survey about this topic to express their feelings towards this problem. Early College High School students filled various surveys for a range of knowledge about this topic. Students shared their personal feelings with a self-opinionated question; therefore, teens expressed this feeling with how they answered this question. Also younger teen showed stronger opinion on themselves rather than older teens expressing and showing stronger opinion with themselves and the community. With this information the younger the mind the less they think outside of themselves, and the older the mind they think more about their community.
What are the opinions from these students towards this subject?
- The point of this survey is to express the feelings of high schools students and college students about the drug cartels. This survey has shown a difference in opinion from young teens and older teens. My first finding suggests younger teens lack in information and do not know how to express their feelings to the dangers of the drug cartels. Older teenagers and college students seem to relate better and understand the drug wars affecting the country. This shows a lot of information such as older people tends to have better knowledge, and try to interact more with this situation.
- My second finding in this survey shows how many younger teens consider being more affected at a younger age with the drug cartels. This explains how younger teens usually become influenced into joining the cartels and the troubles it brings. For older adults I consider tend to express better interest, because as you get older you tend to make decisions independently causing you to regret in the future. The answers given about this question explain information affecting a specific age range closer to yours.
- The third finding in this survey expresses the level interaction dealing with the problems or with the questions. Younger teens expressed they were not as concerned with this problem yet as much as they would be in the future. Older teens interacted more with the questions and gave more opinion to the matter being asked.
Follow up: The area where I would like to focus more on my second memo would be how the government plans to stop the cartels. Also with what kind of operations and methods they have taken to implement a greater effect on the drug cartels. The next research question I would like to focus on more would be what if the government where to overpower the drug cartels, how would this affect US and Mexico as a whole? My research has not changed any of the five questions I have created for my project. The questions I have asked will not change because they are the main founding sources to my research project about the drug cartels.
Conclusion: I do still believe younger kids need to become familiarized about this topic so in the future as they grow up they know what to avoid. My research has shown opinions of various people suggesting the younger you are the more concerning it will be. I expected nothing more than just simple logic and that is what I gathered from all this information to that reason is why I still highly support my hypothesis.
