Digital Media and Global Social Issues

Think of a recent conflict you experienced. Explain who was involved in the conflict and what the conflict was about. Identify the issues that the conflicted parties discussed (or should have discussed).

Now, you are going to think about how a mediator would have affected the conflict and, possibly, brought it to a mutually satisfactory resolution.
Explain fractionation, framing, reframing, and common ground.
Write out at least four sets of statements that demonstrate fractionation, framing, reframing, and common ground; be sure to have balance, offering one example of each one for each party (total of eight).
Then imagine yourself as a mediator and write an opening statement for the conflict situation you experienced. Identify the issues that the conflicting parties should discuss. Draft an agreement using the format, X agrees to this and Y agrees to that. Strive for balance as much as possible.
