Answer:

forcing the opposition to back down.

Explanation:

“Brinkmanship” is the strategic technique that is sometimes practiced in foreign conflicts. It means to push the conflict dangerously close to the active confrontation with the idea opponent shall back down to avoid the violent encounter or, potentially, the war. The strategy relies on power play and chance-taking. While the strategy was performed many times in history, the term was first used by U.S. secretary of state John Foster Dulles.

The term was then popularized during the Cold war as it was the conflict that relied heavily on these kinds of strategies. The most famous example of brinkmanship also comes from this time. It is the Cuban missile crisis. This event is notable because the Soviet Union has placed nuclear weapons on the Cuban land, which is rather near to the U.S. as well as its sphere of influence. In response to the threat, the US blockaded Cuba. These acts show us the performance of brinkmanship on both sides.

if sally sells seashells on the seashore then who is buying seashells there literally all over the beach

professor190 [17]

If you've ever been to Sanibel Island, you'd see this in action. Sanibel is known for its seashells, and the beach is covered in brightly colored, large shells. People are walking along the beach collecting them. Everyone gets into a seashell collecting state of mind. As a result, there are tons of shops selling seashells, too, and people are buying them. The ones you can get on the beach are nice but the shops have the nicest ones, like giant conch shells, etc.

So even near the beaches with some of the most plentiful and nice shells, there are shell shops -- in fact, the higher quality of the shells on Sanibel's beaches seems to have directly led to many more shell shops than you'd find at other beaches with fewer shells.

Hatshy [7]

The correct answer is letter C.

Deviance is defined as a particular behavior, practice or condition (considered odd, strange or away from the norm) that results in disapproval, hostility or even sanction. Conflict theorists believe that the main causes of crime are economic and social forces that operate within society. The most important question to be asked, according to conflict theorists, regarding deviance is: Which group will be able to translate its values into the rules of society and make them stick?
