i found the third video very interesting, the one where they talk about the sulpher miners that have to work under hard conditions. And not only that, that are in the presence of gases that are very dangerous for their lifes. The worst of this is that they earn only 5 dollars per day and have to cary things that get up to 70kg. They have to cary 70kg up the mountain/volcano and if they make a bad step or anything, they could die.I think that they should atleast earn more for their job, they risk their lifes every second up their.

I really liked the second video of the volcano Eruption from the space, i found it very nice.
The thrid video was very interesting, about the manufactures.
I agree that people should not complain about their jobs, because a manufactor job is very hard and dangerous for their lives. It's incredible how much heavy things they can carry on their backs, about 132 pounds or even more. They dont even have the necessary materials to work there, they have no protection at all, and all the gases surround them are not good for their health.
Their avarage life expectancy is about 30 years. And the worst thing about all of this is that they just earn $5 per day.

The third video was for me the most interesting and tragic. It is sad that they work all day long carrying heavy things that weigh up to 132 pounds and that they are exposed to dangerous gases that could poison them. All this work for 5 dollars a day, while we students, without even working get more than these adults. Another interesting fact is that working in these conditions reduces their life expectancy and yet they still work in these environments.
the third video shocked me the most. now i will have a comlete differnt vie on what is considered difficult. what scared me the most was how acidic the water in the lake was. they showed how a rock would dissovle in diluted acid and they also said that the wate was more acidic then the real acid. that scared me because i got worrided for them men that worked there and hopping no one would fall in. what i found sad in that video is that the men work very long days in very harsh and dangerous environments but only get paid 5$ a day, isnt that less then the limit? it made me think about how unfair the world can sometimes be.
the third video was most shocking to me. its amazing how they go up and down the mountain without propper shoes. + carrying 70 kilos on their backs, its crazy. (and the fact that the air their breathing could be dangerous).
The video that showed the volcano erupting is pretty cool. It must be amazing to see a volcano erupt, since its not something you see everyday.

It was pretty interesting to see what volcanoes looked like from outerspace. I also found the information about the most active volcano on earth. When they said that it burned down houses and that it sent gas that were harmful to people I was surprised.

Seing the sulfer miners on the third video work day and night on a volcano bringing baskets of sulfer up and down without protections and knowing that they risk their life everyday is amazing.While working they cross poisonous gases that kill immediately if you breath it in and they need to be aware of their surroundings because of the acidic lake that dissolves anything such as boats.
the third video shows how hard life really is that people suffer the harsh laber and expose them selfs to this gases that could be very fatel for such a low amount of money. the fact that they would expose them self to this gases and do that work for just 5 dollers is just to much.
the second video was also very cool the valcano and all that.

The third video was the most interesting. We were able to see people who suffer and work hard climbing mountains. They are constantly in danger. They have a high possibility of dying everyday. Up the mountains they climb, it is very dangerous. I find them very courageous and brave for doing what they do so I show them plenty of respect.
I thought that the second video was very interesting because i love seeing volcanos erupt and it was nice.
the job the manufateur does is very hard, that's because carying so heavy things on their back is not only bad for their back but they might die. it's a shame that they only get paid 5$ when they are risking their life for it. normaly people who work puting their life in danger get paid a lot.
