Cheap knockoffs are found
absolutely everywhere, the chances of the Loui Vuitton purse a lot of women
wear these days is usually anything but authentic. These are the types of
products that produce what I would tend to believe, millions of jobs.
Situations like this can go on debate forever, as there as many different ways
to go about how it effects the economy and people.
An interesting problem we see are
the replica cars that come from China. The government tends to believe cars
that look identical to the original, are nothing alike and tend to not care
what the rest of the world thinks. You just have to understand why they would
do this a lot of the time. For instance, a 458 Italia Ferrari in America costs
around 250,000 dollars. The same car in China costs a whopping 600-700 thousand
dollars. The whole situation is ethically and morally wrong, but can be an
opportunity economically.
One of the worst dark illicit trades
we are facing today involves the poaching of elephants. At the rate we are
going the whole population can be wiped out entirely. "It's critical the
ivory action plan honors the Prime Minister's commitment, and sets out the
necessary legal reforms with a clear timeline to make it illegal to buy or sell
ivory," said Janpai Ongsiriwittaya, of World Wildlife Fund-Thailand (Source).
Examples like this show the power that money has over everyone. The one thing
you will notice when dealing with illicit trade, is the fact that the whole
idea is really two-faced. The second you truly think someone is good for
somebody, there is always going to be a part that tells you they shouldn’t be
getting away with something like this.
