Mediation

Read a random definition: silent-witness theory

A quick definition of Mediation:

Mediation: Mediation is a way to solve a problem when two or more people disagree. A person who doesn't take sides, called a mediator, helps the people find a solution that everyone can agree on. Mediation is different from going to court or having someone else decide who is right or wrong. The mediator talks to each person separately and helps them come up with ideas to solve the problem together.

A more thorough explanation:

Mediation is a way to solve a problem between two or more people with the help of a neutral person. This person is called a mediator. The mediator helps the parties find a solution to their dispute. Unlike litigation and arbitration, mediation is less rigid. This means that it allows for creative techniques that would not be acceptable in other settings. For example, a mediator can speak ex parte with each side to find mutually acceptable solutions that might not otherwise emerge.

Here are some examples of how mediation works:

  • Two neighbors are arguing over a fence. They can't agree on where the property line is. They decide to use mediation to solve the problem. The mediator listens to both sides and helps them come up with a solution that works for both of them.
  • A couple is getting a divorce. They can't agree on how to divide their property. They decide to use mediation to solve the problem. The mediator helps them come up with a plan that is fair to both of them.
  • An employee is having a problem with their boss. They feel like they are being treated unfairly. They decide to use mediation to solve the problem. The mediator listens to both sides and helps them come up with a solution that works for everyone.

These examples illustrate how mediation can be used to solve a variety of problems. The mediator helps the parties communicate and find a solution that works for everyone. This is why mediation is often seen as a more peaceful and collaborative way to solve disputes.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.
