Priya owns a food truck called 'The Bao Bistro' and Liam owns a rival food truck called 'Tacology'. Both trade in a popular city park, but the municipal council has announced that they will award only one exclusive 'Sole Vendor License' for the upcoming lucrative summer season, forcing the other truck to leave.
Following this announcement, Priya starts posting highly critical and damaging online reviews about Tacology's hygiene standards. In response, Liam begins distributing flyers to park visitors claiming that 'The Bao Bistro' uses low-quality ingredients and overcharges its customers.
Using realistic conflict theory, explain the behaviour of Priya and Liam.
