Ella: Consumers should be punished for participating in back market

Definition

Black market:  the trade of goods illegally

Consumers:  the one who pays something to consume goods and services produced

Teacher's note: Write the definition in the form of paragraph, not separated sentence.

My first argument is, black market is illegal, so if they keep on doing this it would be more illegal. why are black market illegal? base on www.investopedia.com that black market controlled products such as drug, drug are illegally traded. For example, based on listverse.com in the UK, Dead animals are left in cages to rot alongside live ones, and puppies are sold without vaccinations or microchips those are not good for the animals to not have vaccinations before sold or adopted.

My 2nd argument is  based on www.thoughtco.com  When the government makes the product illegal, a black market is subsequently created. When a government makes a product illegal. First, there is a sharp drop in supply as the penalties for selling the good cause people to shift into other industries. Second, a drop in demand is observed as a prohibition of possessing the good deters some consumers from wanting to buy it. These are the bad effects of black market and consumers should be punished. Based on mic.com the biggest black market. The U.S. comes in first has the largest black market in the world, amounting to $625.5 billion, China comes in second, with a black market size of $261 billion, and at the 3rd, Mexico with a value of $126 billion.

In conclusion black market controlled products such as drug, drug are illegally traded so I agree that consumers should be punished for participating in black market.
