Julian is a member of the 'GreenValley Growers' organic farming cooperative. His former classmate Marcus belongs to a rival cooperative called 'OakRidge Farm'. Both cooperatives have applied for a single, highly lucrative contract to be the exclusive organic produce supplier for 'Aura Market', the region's largest supermarket.
Julian has started posting highly critical online reviews claiming that OakRidge Farm’s crops are infested with pests. Marcus has retaliated by distributing flyers around local community boards alleging that GreenValley Growers secretly use banned synthetic fertilizers.
Using realistic conflict theory, explain the conflict and hostile behaviour between Julian and Marcus.
