Towards an Uncertain Future

We see in this final chapter the struggles that claim with the claim of an abundant natural resource that is useful to many, many people around the world.
Regarding the Lago Agrio oil field, local Ecuadorians and their lawyers have been forcing Texaco and their parent company, Chevron, to take responsibility for the water and soil pollution and degradation, as well as deforestation and social displacement.
The oil spills and the neglect of the people and the environment can be considered crimes of humanity, in my opinion. As well, I believe that too much finger-pointing is being done, while the locals still suffer from the intensive-scaled oil extraction, the spills, and the water and land degradation. Yes, there have been clean-ups performed by Chevron, but only after multiple trials, and millions spent.
How do these people sleep at night? Knowing they're profiting off another man's land and resource and degrding his quality of life as well?

Spanish colonization, rise of the caudillos, authoritarians, revolutions, capitalism and communism, and now cartel-controlled authorities... Latin America has gone though so much in the last five centuries. It is an uncertain future, indeed, as the people of Latin America have always been a part of a movement. These movements seek peace, but it seems it is becoming more and more difficult to trust in any form of justice. What will it take to change the chaotic systems of governing the countries in Latin America, the injustices present at every scale? What will take to take foreign investment out of the region, to allow the people to make decisions for themselves, and create the Latin America they have always hoped for for their children?
