    One extracurricular activity that I am very passionate about would be the FFA. FFA has taught me so many things and it has brought me so many places. I 've learned how to be a great speaker from different events my advisor has challenged me to do. Public speaking has taken me so many places and I have attributed most of my success to FFA.

I ended up being recognized as the state runner up individual agriculture salesman as well as the 15th best agricultural sales man in the nation.

    In considering the probable benefits of mediation, Ridley-Duff & Bennett (2011) argues it would be helpful to consider various critical underlying theoretical questions: What is the reasons the negotiation failed? What are the barriers of effective resolution conflict by negotiation? Mediation saves time, money, promotes communication and cooperation, provides an environment to voluntarily resolve disputes, private and confidential, can reduce hostility and encourage healthy relationships, stress, can result in a win-win solution (Clarkson, Cross, Jentz & Miller,

    Victim-offender mediation emanated from Canada, in Ontario precisely where in the early 1970s, two young offenders who committed vandalism were asked to meet the victims their crime had affected . Following the meetings, the judge decided that the two offenders should pay restitution to those victims. The justification for victim-offender mediation was therefore initially that it would benefit both the victim and the offender, it is based on the value of reconciliation that is lacking in the traditional system and it was brought by the way of probation. Mediation can be seen as a progress from the...

  • An Indictable Offence and How it is Brought to Trial

    Mediator is a facilitator rather than a participant in the debate; the ultimate decision (which may be enforceable as an ordinary contract once it is reached) is the responsibility of the parties themselves. Conciliation is similar to mediation the main difference being that a conciliator takes a more pro-active role than a mediator. Alternative dispute resolution is preferable to ordinary court proceedings, as: Ø If the ordinary courts were used then there would be an increase in expense for everyone involved Ø Alternative dispute resolution is a lot quicker than the process of ordinary court proceedings Ø Cases can be decided on their individual merit as tribunals especially, are not bound by strict rules of precedent and of evidence as Courts are Ø Expertise can be used in particular problems

    With McDonald's I worked in an environment which required a vast amount of team work and communication, these skills ensure that customers receive a high level of customer service. My current job at Tesco's comes with a lot of responsibility as I deal with valuable electrical products which are stored in the bond along with cash in the tills. It has strengthened my ability to work in a team; when someone is unsure of something such as a customer enquiry we will work together to provide a knowledgeable answer to the customer. I've had to grasp new procedures in a condensed amount of time such as dealing with the delivery of high valued items and the completion of audits. Since Tesco's do not provide training on product knowledge therefor I've had to take initiative and learn as much as I can in my own time.

    It seemed impossible to built the necessary trust, as a real mediator would have done. Through the mediation role-play, I appreciated that trust can be built to some extent, which will help to the success of the process. Moreover, I recognized the importance of the opening statement and the necessity for clarifying several aspects of it such as logistics, method and ground rules to be used (Moore, 2014, pp. 325-340). One more aspect of mediation that challenged me was the need to evolve and initiate open-ended questions to obtain more dispassionate information on the
