"What you see on the news is the images of oil floating on water and spilled on beaches, animals and birds oiled, told AFP Stan Jones, the regional council of Prince William Sound. "The human toll is harder to see because they develop later," he said.
What we said is that the text following this accident, several fishing jobs have disappeared. As was the village's largest industry, the impact is not negligible, have agreed. As
take us for fools, we must bring the package to convince us ... But sometimes we put a little bit too:
Steve Picou, Professor of Sociology at the University of South Alabama, has conducted extensive research on the consequences of the spill on the populations of the region. "What we discovered is that five or six years after the disaster, people have become very depressed and isolated. There were many syndromes of post-traumatic stress and nervous breakdowns, "he says.
Mr. Picou also notes that "social capital" of several communities collapsed, local residents refused to become involved in public life - whether in elections or to join the board of directors of a school, for example.
"People do not want to get involved," he said.
"In addition, there has been an increase in domestic violence, divorces and bankruptcies. It's like a collective trauma, as if a whole town was in shock. Social relations and family structures have collapsed, "says Will il.M. Picou cites the example of the city of Cordova, who in 1992 created an organization to assist and provide shelter for battered women.
"They had never needed before. Domestic violence did not exist. "

When you want to put everything on the back of a stake is how it should do it ...
Assume that all this is true and not exaggerated these people are still not well because of the values of crude! The reason is because their main industry is collapsing.
is deplorable but it is certainly not unique.
Consider these mining towns where the mine closed, Murdochville example. Take all these villages in the Gaspe who had fishing as their main industry. The industry no longer exists. These industrial cities whose industry was first closed.
They are all identical social dramas.
In these cases, many return quickly and find a new job, creates a new business, etc. the other to leave for better opportunities.
Is it healthy to feel sorry for the fate of those who failed to take charge 20 years later?
What is most valuable to you? The village takes pity on her plight ( I do not know if it's reality but it is what the text suggests ), who left to die or for example the case of Murdochville cited by Wiki:
The mine closed in 1999 Leaving the town to fight for survival. After SEVERAL close calls, The small town has Decided to Fight Back To turn around The Economic Uncertainties That Fell onto the Town. This has included The Creation of SEVERAL large wind Turbine Projects Along With The diversification of The Local Economy. The economy est aussi Composed by "during the winter skiing and tourism.
