=== The Confrontation ===

# '''Meeting with the Owner''': At the next meeting, the owner of the meat-packing plant attended and was confronted by the residents about the unsanitary conditions and their impact on the neighborhood.
#* '''Example''': “When a group identifies a person whom they recognize as the cause of their problems, invites him to their meeting or goes to his home or place of work, complains and demands a solution — that’s confrontation.”
# '''Negotiating a Solution''': The pressure from the organized group led to a negotiation, resulting in the owner agreeing to address the issues raised by the residents.
#* '''Example''': “Within a matter of five minutes, this squeeze play resulted in the reluctant landlord’s agreement to engage the fumigator with the guarantee immediately.”
