Ralph Nader was discussing the auto industry. He believes that they should have more safety
measures to protect motorists as they drive on the highway. Better brakes and seatbelt safety was
emphasized in his book. A lot of
accidents happen due to people not buckling up or having their brakes fail
them.

Explanation:
Good example of appeasement being used is the Munich Conference (1938), and the Potsdam Conference (1945). Many see appeasement as surrendering to another country’s wishes, which can make a nation and its leader look weak. It’s a temporary measure taken to stop a war, but many times is unsuccessful in the long run. Leaders such as Neville Chamberlain and FDR used this strategy with Hitler and Stalin, who both took advantage of what they had been given. Appeasement can put a country in a weak position due to them losing territory, resources, etc. It’s a very diplomatic policy, but usually only curbs a threat for a short time. Hope this helped a little! :)
