The Minamata disease, a disease which produced severe nervous disorders and birth defects, was traced to the fact that the Chisso Chemical Company dumped mercury into a bay where Japanese villagers fished. The villagers of Minamata, the village in which the company was located, refused to become involved in lawsuits with the chemical company for many years. However, the residents of Niigata, a fishing village forty miles up the river from the factory, filed lawsuits against the chemical company. Which of the following explanations flows from the conflict paradigm in attempting to explain the differences in lawsuits between the two villages?
 
  a. The Minamata victims were less likely to be tied socially, economically, and physically to the company than were the Niigata victims.
  b. The Japanese culture frowns on lawsuits.
  c. The chemical company controlled more of the village resources in Minamata than in Niigata.
  d. People in Niigata are not as nice as people in Minamata.
  e. None of these choices are correct.
