loris [4]

Fort Sumter is on Charleton Harbor. Major Robert Anderson surrendered the fort and evacuated the next day.

Battle & Capture of New Orleans
April 13, 1862:
Lee's army was surrounded, weak, and exhausted. He had decided that surrender would be best because he knew it wouldn't be a good turnout. This was important to the civil war because it meant that it was finally over.


Lee Surrenders to Grant

The Battle of Antietam,also known as Battle of Sharpsburg, was the first major battle of the American Civil War on union soil.

Briefly describe what Marks says in the beginning of his talk about conflict and compromise. Provide one example that Marks give
Kryger [21]

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.

I have had cause to go into conflict with a police officer in my state because he demanded a bribe from me despite having all my driving particulars. I shouted at him and promise to report him to the authority if he did not desist from that practice. he became scared and allowed me to go.
