Too Many Workers. Too Much to Worry About.

Emperor Qin has just announced the start of the construction of his tomb. When finished, the tomb is estimated to be 2,180,000 square miles big! The tomb is going to take about 11 years to build. Who is going to build the tomb in this amount of time? The answer to that question is hundreds of thousands of workers. This is not the right choice! Emperor Qin shouldn't have hundreds of thousands of innocent workers work on such a huge and dangerous project.

Even though the tomb is going to be an important part of Emperor Qin’s legacy, the people working on the tomb are a bigger problem than getting the work finish in a short amount of time. The poor treatment of the workers and the horrible conditions of the work site, will result in thousands of workers dying. Besides the work conditions, no matter what, the workers are not getting paid or getting any type of reward for building the tomb. That is not fair at all. They are going to be doing so much good work for nothing.

Some might say that it won’t be bad if some workers die because China’s population is so massive. It is important to get this tomb built so we can honor Emperor Qin when he dies. Some people believe this because they believe that Emperor Qin is more important than all of the workers. They don’t even care about the workers since all of the workers are poor. They also think that China needs a place for Emperor Qin when he dies and so people can always remember him. All of those people are wrong. Even if the workers are poor and not as important as Emperor Qin, it is still not good to kill thousands of them even if China’s population is huge. Even though there should be a place for Emperor Qin to go when he dies, China can think of a safer and better way of building it.

It is good that Emperor Qin is constructing a beautiful tomb for himself, but it is horrible to have hundreds of innocent workers and people building it when the work is really dangerous. Emperor Qin should have more experienced workers and pay them or give them some type of reward.
