Part IV- Lobster: Product of Nicaragua

Do People Care
The Lobster business is a main occupation in Nicaragua even though it is a very dangerous job. Many of the divers are struck with bends and end up with paralysis or even dead. What is bends you may ask? Bends is a disease caused by divers descending or ascending rapidly which nitrogen gases are
dissolved which creates bubbles in your body. So what happens to the divers? Well the government don't pay them if they are injured or killed nor does the companies. The companies don't really care about the divers who get the products they buy because still get their product no matter what. People care but there's nothing they can do because they having to make a living to provide for their families. Unfortunately nobody wins other than the companies because the divers die, and then their families lose a love one and are left with no choice but to marry somebody else or move somewhere else. The captain of the boats can't do anything because they aren't getting paid enough money to help the families in need. The people can't do much either because they can't afford to do anything other than watching their love ones die. The companies don't do much because they just don't care what happens to them just that they make money. So do you think people care?  Even though people are dying from diving in the depths of the oncean the divers still continue to work because they need to make a living for themselves and their families. They still because it's the only job they really have so even though it means their death they still work. I believe people do care but they can't do anything about the death because they just can't afford to do anything. What would happen if the people would have money to afford getting out of the bad system that they are in? Do you think people would care and actually do something about it if they had enough money? The one thing that is for sure is that the companies would never care what happens to the people who do all of the hard work. That is why the lobster business is a very dangerous job and unfortunately it is all they have to live off.
