Did Pablo Escobar Deserve the Title of Robin Hood?
Did Pablo Escobar Deserve the Title of redbreast Hood? twingeMy report allow be coering the honourable and wicked activities of Pablo Escobar and his act on the West (Colombia in particular) politically, environmentally and socially. My secondary interrogation willing provide me with this information and allow me to question it, the sources will include magazines, books, lucre research, inter fascinates, documentaries, pamphlets, government files and podcasts. My methodology alike includes a survey for my primary research questioning communitys opinions on him before and after receiving explicit information on him and an interview with Sebastian Marroquin (Escobars son, thitherfore an expert on him) by email. My conclusion will delve into the ratio of good to bad and look at the intent of them and my own judgement of peoples views on him and understand why people bear those opinions on him. My conclusion will not study a ace answer to my title as it is personal however it will be biased as a contribute of my findings.IntroductionPablo Escobar was a Colombian drug lord who had conducted the Medellin promise whilst controlling 80% of cocaine in the USA (Rockfeller 2012). Understandably, he had confrontations with government officials, however, his run-ins had escalated to hostilities with the government within a in a short time as he could no agelong purchase officials as they were adamant on extraditing him to the United States of America as a result of Colombias extradition treaty with America(the amazing stories one). Escobar felt strongly against this and had penalize actions to prevent it,, which had led to the death of presidents, candidates running for presidency, government officials, police officers and the Colombian magistrates in the Supreme Court and galore(postnominal) more with the order of assassinations (Dupler 1998). On the other hand, he had provided large sums of charitable contri only ifions to Colombia especially Medellin, w hich is a obtusely populated divest urban city estranged from helpful upbeat from the government, with the construction of houses and leisure facilities and schools as well as simply handing money earned from his drug cartel (Bowden 2011). Because of this he was given the name Robin Hood, a figure that steals from the rich and gives to the poor, as well as cosmos glorified in north-western culture because of his venerated portrayal in successful Hollywood films and TV shows. Nevertheless many ( in general officials and those affected by his endeavours indirectly and directly) view him less enthusiastically and have portrayed him as a terrorist and have even comp atomic number 18d him to dictators like Adolf Hitler by the DEA officer Stephan Murphy (Dupler 1998). He had also threatened Colombias political and justice stability, which had made him a target for America. bulk claim to understand and believe they know right from wrong but they tend to be biased and let experiences s hadow their judgement, whilst understanding contrasting regions version of right and wrong.Being interested in history and how political sympathies works differently around the world I wanted to seek one of the most controversial publicised and misjudged divisions of this atomic number 18a. This topic manages to touch on/ allows me to use skills from all 3 of the subjects I perform at A level, which are Politics, History and mediaLiterature ReviewThe topic of Pablo Escobar and his impact in Colombia is a really sensitive topic as the same add together of people have been affected differently from his direct and indirect whole caboodle creating conflict that is difficult to overcome because of this. His impact on Colombia has remained an important topic in the country as residents of the country are uncertain whether their views are refreshing especially those favouring Escobar are afraid to express their opinion on Escobar as they are afraid of backlash from those that think otherwise, who view his doings morally wrong and believe those favouring him are doing so for materialistic reasons, null else. My dissertation will cover Escobars background, his impacts on Colombia, and reactions to them, which will uncover the postulate on whether Pablo Escobar is the Robin Hood supporters named him or the villain opposes label him as.The tops(predicate) majority of my research came from online articles/newspaper articles and general internet research from conjectural organisations and the majority from interviews/broad-spectrum of videos on YouTube and documentaries and a minority from books in Nottingham Trent Universitys library and a minority of it from television programmes. My initial aim was to gather information on Pablo Escobars behaviour and develop and understanding of his persona, along with this I intended on uncovering different opinions on him from dissimilar individuals who have had different experiences with Escobar.My commencement exercis e footstep of research had the objective of gaining an understanding on how opinions on Escobar had vary from a viewers perspective by watching Narcos. It had noticeably dramatized situations include in the storyline and the directing and explicit use of effective skilful codes display how the glorification of him is developed. To receive an accurate timeline of Escobars life I watched Pablo Escobar baron of Coke both of these sources had provided me with information to assemble the timeline of his conducts. Despite the documentary world a secondary source it had exhibited explicit opinions and periodical endeavours of Escobars from DEA officers that had been observing him for over 37 years, thus having credible opinions. In addition to this, the documentary had contained FBI files, which are also primary resources, throw out described Escobars daily actions, for example his encounters and his daily activities suggesting peculiar behaviour, as well as this interviews with othe r officials unveiling scenarios they were regard in/ had observed/ had researched, whilst including their verdict on how they perceived his behaviour. The dissection of his behaviour was very rational and had exhibited that they understood Escobars true motives, which they demonstrated as being artful illuminating the reasoning behind his claims of humble acts by linking it to how it can attain him personally by avoiding extradition to the US and defend his cartel from exposure. This source had shown me a strong link on how it was mainly elites, who hadnt felt the strong benefits the deprived in Colombia, despised him more than the deprived worshipped him, however there was more deprived than elites, which had created friction between them and Escobar had noted this so he had use it to his benefit. However theres a lack of endorse to suggest that Escobar used the deprived to his advantage as he would always deny it and it was mainly assumptions, on the other hand, the assumption appears frequently by different people in different ways.To understand how the figures in the documentary discriminateed these statements, I had read FBI records the fault, Pablo Escobar part 1 of 8 to discover any anomalies of usual behaviour that could be linked to Escobar and behaviour the figures had been indirectly referring to. The majority of the files findings were cover with blocks denying me of credible and valuable primary sources. Nonetheless, I had discovered from them unusual meetings with figures e.g. workers of the Cali Cartel for negotiations and workers of his Medellin Cartel that had travelled to him in unauthorised aeroplanes from Miami, which contains the greatest consumers and distributers (to the rest of America) of Cocaine, contempt these persistent links no acceptable action (that could wrong-foot him) with regards to investigation had been executed. This had suggested that Escobar had managed to bribe Colombian officers with his philosophy plata o plomo which translates to lead or silver gist accept death or accept Escobars bribe of money if not this he wouldve intercepted run-ins any other way with his calculating methods to avoid charges. This further suggests that officers had turned a blind eye and accepted Escobars authority, which had allowed him to increase his conquest by expanding his influence, as the police officers had implied he was able to do this. On the other hand there couldnt have been enough evidence to reckon higher ranking officers and officials to prevent this because of Escobars ability to cover up evidence sufficient enough. This had led me to one of my overall conclusion that Escobar had managed to prosper because of procedures and depravity in Colombia.Escobar viewing his harmful behaviour as being acceptable from situations allowing it has proved to be an occurring, therefore significant, factor. This acceptance and enforcement of his behaviour isnt something that can be taken so lightly and easily a s sudden as it was bought to Escobar, the secondary research sources La Violencia in Colombia and Growing Up Amid contend Affects Childrens Moral Development display that Escobars dysfunctional morals were a result of trauma and discussed how they had been altered and the extremity of the impact of La Violencia wouldve amplified the effects. This had displayed and highlighted how experience, although not seeming(a) from Escobars attentive presentation of himself to the world, had blurred Escobars understanding from right and wrong and that theres many perspectives that need to be observed and understood in order to distinguish if perspectives towards him are capable of being empathised with. Furthermore, itd shown me how La Violencia had created a perfect strain for a Robin Hood-like figure to appear, which had displayed why Escobar had many supporters and why officials remained in the shadow to his glorification.ReferencesDupler, S (1998) Pablo Escobar King of Coke. online.
