Appeasement

Sometimes my mom will say something that I completely disagree with when she drives me home from school. When I vocalize my opinion, she will try to shut me down and only say her idea. The car ride is only 10 minutes and I do not want her to follow me into my room to talk about topics I do not like, so after a few minutes I say that 'she won'. However, sometimes she likes to continue to talk about why she is right even after, which is why appeasement does not work very effectively with my mother. It is almost counter-productive.

  1. This idea really links back to World War II because of how making concessions to Germany was almost counter-productive: it only made it bolder and stronger.
