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:
c. Cultural relativism
Explanation:
Cultural relativism is the principle of regarding the beliefs, values and practices of a culture viewed from the viewpoint of that particular culture itself.
Cultural relativism tells us that a person's beliefs, values, and practices should be understood based on that person's own culture instead of judging them using the criteria of another culture.
In this example, the sociologist receives a grant to study racial and religious prejudice among the people of southeast Asia. <u>He makes an effort to evaluate the norms, values and customs of these groups in light of the distinctive cultures of which they are part</u>. Thus, he is trying to <u>view this group's beliefs, values and practices from that group point of view instead that from his owns beliefs and prejudices</u>. Therefore, this would be an example of cultural relativism.
