conflict: made machines that replaced people, putting them out of work

compromise: machines mass produced, easing workers’ jobs and lowering prices to consumers.

More into the 20th century though, how about Watergate, when President Gerald Ford pardoned President Richard Nixon?

Conflict: Nixon broke the law, hearings took place on TV as Americans saw the extent of their President stealing and lying…leading to impeachment consideration.

Compromise: Nixon stepped down, VP Ford became President Ford, and then Ford compromised by pardoning Nixon so the country could move on.

If it doesn’t have to be a person, you might as well have FUN and consider Roswell, NM surrounding UFO’s — conflict: is there or isn’t there alien life? Compromise: Let’s hide it from the public and say they’re weather balloons; also ignore that Air Force pilots have seen them. Compromise and make the citizen feel safe. Also check out “Area 51” — top secret area just outside Las Vegas.

I pity the fool…
