Answer:

He disagreed with the government's actions.

Explanation:

In his speech "Civil Disobedience",  Thoreau's disapproval of paying poll taxes have been disclosed. He was against the idea of paying the poll taxes. He was of the opinion that every citizen has the right to protest against the unjust laws. Thoreau was a strong believer of his conscience. He gave it more priority than following the laws blindly. According to him, the responsibility of the citizens is more towards disobeying the laws that are unjust and mean.

Which is the best behavior style to use in conflict situations
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Companies today are expanding the role of teams in the workplace in an effort to empower employees and improve organizational effectiveness. The more we try to work as a team, the more important it becomes to recognize that people exhibit different behavioral styles. I use the term “behavioral style”, purposely avoiding the terms “personality” or “attitude”, because unless we are psychiatrists or psychologists, we are not qualified to evaluate such things. All that we can see and deal with is a person’s behavior.

There are four major behavioral styles: analytical, amiable, driver and expressive. Please note that I am using an extreme simplification of each particular style. It is doubtful that all people of a particular behavioral style exhibit all of the characteristics portrayed.
