Dark Side of Tourism

From the movies we watched LockedUp Abroad and Brokedown Palace, I believe they knew what they were getting into when they “signed up” for what they had to accomplish. The article I read relates more to crimes that we may not have in America that other countries may enforce more. I think before going on a trip to a different country you should always do your homework and learn the culture before going there. As Americans I believe we feel entitled when going to other countries because we have that well I am American so nothing can happen or I am to good for you mentality. So, before going to a country we should require a know before you go guide. This guide can be on the plane or while you are waiting to cross customs so you have a rough idea how to act in the Country. I do believe that other countries should do there part to inform tourist and outsiders of the laws of the land that may be different than their home country. So before going to another country please do your part in learning about the differences in cultures and respecting how they do things over there.
