The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The Asian carp got to America because people brought them from Asia for consumption purposes. However, Asian carp is a problem because they do harm the aquatic environment, as happened in the Great Lakes
The Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal finds it difficult to permanently close to keep the Asian carp out of the Great Lakes. However, it has established programs aimed to control and limit the access of the Asian carp into the Great Lakes to reduce the damage it provokes.
The Asian Carp feed on the bottom of the food chain, eating plankton of the lakes. But this plankton is necessary to keep the "health conditions" of the water of the lakes.
The U.S. Department of the Interior has declared all silver carp to be a dangerous species and legislation was written to protect the Great Lakes.

Answer:
Madison concludes that the damage caused by faction can be limited only by controlling its effects. He then argues that the only problem comes from majority factions because the principle of popular sovereignty should prevent minority factions from gaining power.
In Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, there are many omens and warnings that should have prevented Caesar from going to the Senate that day. First, he was warned by a soothsayer to "beware the Ides of March." Then, his wife Calpurnia has a bad dream that Caesar was murdered. Other bad omens have presented themselves as well.
However, Caesar vows to go anyway. He ignores his wife's pleading and says that "<span>Cowards die many times before their deaths. </span><span>The valiant never taste of death but once." This shows his pride -- he is not a coward and he will not be taken for one.
At last, however, Calpurnia convinces him to stay home. When Decius comes to deliver a message to the Senate, Caesar makes it clear that he he CAN go -- he is choosing not to go. Again, this shows his pride, as he does not want to appear sick or weak.
But then Decius provides some powerful news: he tells Caesar that Senate was to crown him that day. Although this is an outright lie told to Caesar just to get him out of the house, Caesar is swayed by the promise of more power. This shows his greed for power, or his ambition. Had he not cared so much about a crown, he would have stayed home that day and likely kept his life.
Decius also implies that, if Caesar waits, the Senate might change their mind. He also hints that the Senate will laugh at Caesar and think him scared since he was so easily swayed by his wife's nightmares. Hearing these words, Caesar is convinced. He will now allow others to think of him as weak or scared. He tells Calpurnia he is going. And, although he does not know it, he will never return home again.
