2. Summary of Our Project
Drug Trafficking is one of the many problems that affect every nation in the world. it involves selling of drugs and drug paraphernalia, and can range from a simple local exchange between drug users and dealers or can also be a major international operation. drug trafficking is specifically defined as the commercial exchange of drugs, drug paraphernalia and any other equipment USED TO MANUFACTURE OR USE THEM IT IS A GLOBAL ILLICIT TRADE INVOLVING THE CULTIVATION, MANUFACTURE, DISTRIBUTION AND THE SALE OF SUBSTANCES which are subject to drug prohibition laws. unodc, a global leader in the struggle against illicit drugs and transitional organized crimes, is continuously monitoring and researching global illicit drug markets in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding to their dynamics. drug trafficking is a key part of this research. according to the drug policy alliance network, law enforcement agencies would need to intercept around 70 percent of illegal drugs in order to reduce drug trafficking around the world. at the present time only about 10 to 15 percent of heroin is intercepted, and only approximately 30 percent of cocaine is seized.
the dea enforces laws that carry various penalties for drug crimes. a person found in possession of certain illegal drugs, such as cocaine or heroin, will face no less than 5 years in prison. a theory about enforcing called the balloon theory , states that when law enforcement agencies crack down on drug trafficking in one area, it increases in another. this is one of the problems with trying to colmbat drug trafficking around the world. our project aims to elaborate on matters about drug trafficking by producing a website that centers on this topic. the main purpose of this website is to shed some light in the effects of drug trafficking around the world, the efforts which are done to solve them and how the whoole world unites to fight against it.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome
We had very few problems that we encountered during the making of this project. The most noteable one, however, was our lack of leadership. All of us kept pointing at each other until we lose valuable time and eventually fail to carry on with our task. Nobody wanted to take initiative so our usual strategy was pass all the work to just one person which was very inefficient. We continued with that kind of routine until one day we simply realized that we had no more time and had to rush. It became another very big problem for us and we really had to work hard to finish this site. Luckily we could still push ourselves to work in spite of the pressure since we also consider this as school work and was also graded.
We had minimum problem in accessing the internet since all of us have our own computers at home. The only problem is that we live very far away from each other and we got problems in communication since we do not share the same network in our cellular phones. These are, however, very simple problems and could be easily solved so it did not really bother us and was not a big part in making this site.

6. How did your activities and research for this Doors to Diplomacy Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
Our research is internet based, we have learned how to put to good use the lessons we have learned in our subject in technology and home economics. Web design and internet research using Google is incorporated in our subject that is why it has conformed with our school curriculum. Using the internet for research has given us the convenience of researching efficiently because we can just click through different links and connect the information together.
