Observation:

The content of the first box simply states what a mediation consist of; most of it apparent knowledge if you think about it. So in return, I agree with the information presented in the first box. The one statement that I am really drawn to is the last one. It states how the extent to which mediation can be achieved is dependent upon opposing parties desire to find an adequate solution to their stalemate. This is of interest to me because of the situations that I have witnessed and the historical events that have taken place in which one or all parties were not sincerely interested in finding a solution. The entire second box is also of interest because it presents the questions that need to be answered in order to arrive at a valid conclusion that will satisfy all parties. Without the answering of these questions the mediator will be lost and have no idea how to go about mediating the situation.
