Briefly describe what Marks says in the beginning of his talk about conflict and compromise. Provide one example that Marks gives about worldwide governments collaborating with industries to solve problems of public health and the environment. Explain. Explain the mistake that governments are making when they collaborate with industries according to Marks. Ultimately, why does Marks say that governments should struggle with, or even at times directly engage in conflict with, corporations? Consider a situation in which you’ve had to engage in conflict in order to benefit the common good or to promote what you know to be right. Explain.

According to Marks they are believed that conflict is bad and compromise is good. Also that He describes this as a vision that is too simplistic to be upheld by the nations of the world. Marks said that it will be difficult to determine whether its conflict is good or bad if they were do not understand the people which were involved in the conflict, the cause, and also that when the strategy involved in the conflict. When He said compromise, contrary to general belief, can be harmful if it does not protect the vulnerable and the dis-empowered. For example of when in a United Nations agency collaborated with the federal and also with the local governments, television company, in order to address the problem of poor sanitation in schools in India. This arrangement is helped the corporation to promote their brands and also in a product. so that Marks argued with the United Nations were creating another problem while they are trying to solve one by promoting a soda company, also knowing full well that is a large consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages which are increased the risk of obesity. Therefore The mistake by the govt. to make, according to Marks, when they are collaborating with the industries is that they conflate the common good with those common ground. They have sacrificed the interest of the people on the altar of industrial collaboration.  Mark is saying that when govt. should be struggling or engage in conflicts with the corporations, then Marks means that the corporations always be acted to promote their commercial interests while the govt. is saddled with the responsibility of promoting the common good, they should have been not left this responsibility while trying to go into a relationship with the corporations. When I have had cause to go into conflict with a police officer in my state just because he demanded a bribe from me which they are despite having all my driving particulars. then I shouted and also he promise to report with him to the authority if he did not desist from the practice. he became scared and also that he allowed me to go.
