Marks explains that we have been made to believe that conflict is bad and compromise is good. He describes this as a vision that is too simplistic to be upheld by the nations of the world. Marks says it will be difficult to determine whether conflict is good or bad if we do not understand the people involved in the conflict, the cause and the strategy involved in the conflict.
He said compromise, contrary to general belief, can be harmful if it does not protect the vulnerable and the dis-empowered.
Marks gave an example of a United Nations agency that collaborated with the federal and local governments, television company, and even a multinational soda company in order to address the problem of poor sanitation in schools in India. This arrangement helped the corporation to promote their brands and products. Marks argued that, the United Nations were creating another problem while trying to solve one by promoting a soda company, knowing fully well that a large consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages increases the risk of obesity.
The mistake governments make, according to Marks, when they collaborate with industries is that they conflate the common good with common ground. They sacrifice the interest of the people on the alter of industrial collaboration.
By saying that governments should struggle or engage in conflicts with corporations, Marks means that the corporations always act to promote their commercial interests while government is saddled with the responsibility of promoting the common good, they should not leave this responsibility while trying to go into relationship with the corporations.

Answer:
all of the above are the options
Answer:
1.The closing of the Suez Canal by Egypt in 1956.
2.The OPEC oil embargo in 1973.
Explanation:
Most of the world's oil reserves and supply come from the Middle East. It is estimated that about 64.5 % of the world's oil supply is from the Middle East nations, making it an important aspect of the world's crude oil supply.
If these reserves or supplies were to be stopped or banned by the OPEC nations, or any of these majority supplying nations were to stop their export, then there will be a vast 'disaster' or rather 'crisis' in the nations that depend on these supplies. So, events such as <u>the 1956 closing of the Suez Canal by Egypt or the OPEC oil embargo of 1973 are proof that the Middle East nations could threaten the world's oil supply.
</u>
Thus, the correct answers are options 1 and 2.
