Negotiation - problem solving that meets some key interests of all involved
Yesterday (11/15/07) in the class of Arts of Democracy, we had a activity that four people in a group and pretended to be a Muslim family. The daugter of the family is trying to convince her parents aobut adopting the American culture, but her parents want her to keep the tranditional way no matter what. As we go alone with the conversation, more and more problems and arugement came up, so we kinda have a little hard time to slove each problems that we had to deal with. But at end of the negotiation, we came up with solutions that worked for everyone.
I believe the point of this activity is let us to understand how can u solve the problem when it comes up to you, so it was more like a practice for us to get prepare in the future. I didn't speak a lot in my group, but as I listened to my group members' conversation I learned more and understood the situation of each side. It was a good lesson for me and my life too.
