Explanation:

1. Les salaires plus bas, les normes d'assurance - rescue inférieures et les indemnités plus faibles en cas de décès des Sherpas montrent un traitement inférieur, soutenant la thèse de la hiérarchie.
2. Schaffer souligne le besoin d'accorder plus de valeur monétaire à la vie des Sherpas pour résoudre le problème de la discrimination.
3. La citation montre l'insuffisance de l'assurance pour les Sherpas, renforçant l'idée qu'il faut augmenter la valeur monétaire de leur vie.
