The term "narco culture" came about as a result of the normalization and glorification of drug trafficking and the violence associated with it in Mexico. Inclusions encompass music, fashion, language, and societal attitudes. The objective of this study is to ascertain the underlying causes and identify the factors that have contributed to the prevalence of the drug trade in Mexico. What sort of incentives might stimulate an individual to partake in the unlawful drug trade? Values, beliefs, and lifestyle associated with narcotics in order to comprehend the issue at its core. The heart of the thesis is an intricate examination of the psyches of individuals involved in the drug trade, focusing on their rationalization of extreme violence. This segment illuminates the psychological, social, and cultural dimensions that mold the attitudes and actions of narcos. It underscores violence's role not only as a byproduct of the drug trade but also as a way to explore violence as a communicative tool within the subculture.v, 52 pagesenAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Drug trafficViolenceThesis
