The purpose of this essay is to investigate and analyse the mediation process in some conflict. Find the weaknesses and strengths of the mediator as well as provide the solution and explain particular ways how the conflict can be solved properly. Thus, the situation which we will analyse in this essay is conflict between colleagues in the office. In addition, I would like to explain what is mediation and what is the role of mediator. Mediation is a method which people use in order to resolve the conflict between two or more parties. So, mediator is a person who is trying to negotiate solution between parties and, he or she can be called either negotiator or peacemaker too.
As I am the mediator, now I will describe myself and point out my weaknesses and strengths which will be later applied on made-up conflict. So, from my strengths I would mention that I am objective, easy going, calm, humble, independent, discreet, direct, rational, and fair. On the other hand, my weaknesses are that I am sarcastic, vulgar, direct, and very rational. Yes, you read correctly, rationality and directness are both, my weakness and strength. The reason is simple, I am that kind of person who keeps the emotional distance from the other people and in some cases, it is advantage but in others it causes the problems. Now, let’s assume that the conflict is between two colleagues in the office and it reaches a critical condition. They cannot stand each other because of several disagreements such as

    Mediation is typically a neutral third party that is brought in to help the parties resolve their dispute. The goal of mediation is to clear up misunderstandings, determine concerns, find areas of agreement, and incorporate those areas into solutions. Although a mediator has no decision-making power, they can often help cases resolve more peacefully. The legal system often does this because it helps find solutions faster without there being a lot of tension between the Canadian legal system and society. Overall this allows for a better relationship and allows for the legal system to address the needs of society in a just

    It is important to keep the groups small for mediation because smaller groups are more likely to be successful in mediation talks (Klerman and Klerman 692). While reducing the number of people at the table inevitably reduces the amount of voices that can be represented, the committees will still be large enough as to not marginalize significant voices. Each mediation must also have somebody controlling the discussion. In this instance, legislators in Florida will pass a bill allocating $200,000 to pay for professional mediators from the United States Department of Justice directing the discussion. A professional mediator can analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each case before setting expectations for the results (Klerman and Klerman 691).

    Mediation is where the two parties aim to reach a mutual resolution on the dispute with the help of a mediator. Mediation is helpful when both parties want to come to a decision without going to court as they settle the dispute themselves. Mediation does not decide on the dispute it leaves control of the outcome with the parties. Arbitration is a formal way of resolving disputes, it's set up so opposing parties present their cases to an independent third person. The arbitrator makes a decision based on hearing the case and the evidence presented to them.

    Ava DuVernay’s documentary film “13th” shows a strong connection between a sky-rocking increase in incarceration (from 357,292 in 1970 to 2,306,200 in 2014) and slavery, which is why the author of this film insists the viewers take a good look at the 13th Amendment that abolished slavery: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” (United States Statutes at Large, volume 13, page 567). The Power-Dependence theory was developed by Richard Emerson (1962), who stated that the basic power is dependency. The movie talks about government having power over people, people of color primarily, which is a robust example of the power-dependence theory “"X has

    After knowing what my weaknesses are, I usually try to solve them and improve my skills. For example, I’m not a highly flexible and positive person, so I seek out to individuals who are flexible and positive in their lives and ask for their advice. Another strength that I have is that I usually have a positive outlook of my improvement, because I have seen examples of those who overcome their hardships and become successful in life, so I believe that if I try hard enough, I will be able to overcome my weaknesses. I’m also confident with my listening skills and my ability to focus on others and make them feel heard. I like to start on works and projects early so that if anything comes up, I will still have time to handle it.

I believe it is always important to be positive regardless of how bad a situation is. My job is to motivate others when they become pessimistic of a certain task. This strength is essential in both school and a career as neither a classmate or a co-worker wants to surround him or herself with negativity that makes for a long day.

  • Write An Essay About The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Mediation

    1913 Words  | 8 Pages

    What is Mediation? Prior to the parties getting involved in a mediation session it is understood that the parties are in agreeance to coming together as a means to promote and to bring forward a resolution. Anything that occurs within the session is understood to be confidential and if a party in any way shape or form feels that they no longer want to continue with the process, they have every right to end everything at that point in time. Mediation is a different yet effective way to resolve problems where the parties bring about their own solution to their problem contrary to going in front of a judge or an arbitrator whom will have full control and decide on behalf of you. Mediation helps the parties involved reach a final solution through a mutual and voluntary agreement, this is exactly what makes mediation a process that should be looked into if the situation permits it.

    Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution in which a neutral third party helps disputants resolve a conflict (Bishop, p. 64). The employee/supervisor mediation was my first experience role-playing as a mediator in a dispute. I enjoyed the experience and recognized how significant the role of a mediator was. There are many strategies/avenues a mediator can take when conducting a mediation and it is imperative that the mediator is able to adapt their mediation strategy in order to satisfy the party’s needs. This in-class role-play gave me the opportunity to apply all the knowledge that I learned during the course, to a real workplace scenario.

But it is not an inviolable principle; there are certain cases where it will be encroached upon, lest in recognition of the public interest that a mediator fulfils.
