Assertion
Those being with intent assert their presence by some sort of conflict. With vegetation, easily seen in trees, they reach up for warmth and light and own for security and water. Even as seeds they have the same basic drives. That they reach out horizontaly to maximise their consumption is purely and extended expresion of thier outward reach.

Animals have similar assertions and warm, light, security and water are sought for consumption. With homo spaiens it has been argued that their is another reach, that for knowledge, knowledge of what is still debateable and is often brought back to the knowlkedge of how to aquire more security in the basic desire of stabilty for water, air, warmth, food and most often a nest not just for storage of food sand water but for procreating what is unargubaly a very vulnerable offspring.

Conflict
There is little desire to expand on conlfict but suffice it to say that plants do not actively conflict with other plants despite thier competition for resources. Animals on the other hand move towards and away from conflict as a primary course of action.

Appeasement
This is where animals and more especially homo sapiens will contribute to the group exploiation debilitaion of other cretaures, vegetation and inanimate elements when as individuals they deem themselves to weak to survive and co-opertate in the exploitaion of resoucres for a group gain.

This appeasement is all so often seen as a good things as it enhances the surviaval of the specific actors.

The seemingly benign appeasement in a cultivation of crops for consumption, wedding out unwanted palnts and promoting those deemed more suitable to consume. It is not just palnts that are culktivated. Politics is a way of cultivating other people.

As with husbandry, the control of animals for consumption, so there is control of mankind. This is intiially a fmaily custom but as a child grows they have desisions to make. Can they feel secure in exploiting their family or does it seems better to widen the resource?

More recently in the richer climates a person may be confident enough to venture to strange lands to exploit, that is foreign lands populkate by peoles of differing cistoms, but having the same basic assertions. Finding a group or company to co-operate with becomes essential to survival once the nest has been flown.

More often than not a quasi righteouness is used to persuade people to follow a self satisfying aim, to be not just accepted but prestinf as having exceptional knowledge. This knowledge is then further expressed through argunents, condiitons and comforts that evoke compliance.

Yet as individuals, at least ir terms of having the individual ability to question, and separate facts from truth there is no reason the continually appease customs. Conflict then becomes a resource in appeasment. It is the great weight of appeasement that carries the greatest conflict and doing the right thing is clearly not the right thing.

In a world of action appeasment means supporting group action intent on its survival via consumption and assertiveness.
