Question

If one were to generalize from Sherif's study of conflict resolution between two groups of campers, the best way for the United States and China to improve their relationship would be to _________.a. hold highly publicized athletic contests between the two countries.

b. minimize their trade and economic exchanges.
c. conduct a joint space program designed to land humans on Mars.
d. allow citizens of each country the right to freely immigrate to the other country.

Answer 1

c. conduct a joint space program designed to land humans on Mars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sherif's study of conflict resolution under the realistic conflict theory(RCT) or realistic group conflict theory explains that intergroup conflicts could arise as a result of limited or scarce resources. This could give rise to situations where each group becomes intolerant and resorts to a zero sum fate for conflict resolution. Sherif in his theory advises that such conflicts could be resolved by superordinate goals where the groups may come together to pursue a common goal.
