One  kind of exercise which may prove useful in teaching a
class  on  Conflict-MITIGATION  is to  have  paired  teams
composed  of  two or three students who are  assigned  the
task  of trying to represent the point of view of each  of
the  sides  in an enduring conflict ---  in the manner  of
students  participating in a Model-UN exercise and  trying
to  represent the points of view of differing nations in a
conflicted situation.

Each team of two or three students would research some  of
the  points of view within  a conflict of whatever  chosen
kind;  not necessarily  between  nations.  Another team of
two or three students would research the points of view of
opposing sides in the same conflict.

In the  manner  of  a Model-UN session,  the  teams  would
alternate  in  representing  the points of view  of  their
chosen sides in the chosen conflict ---  seeking  ways  to
MITIGATE the conflict by  clarifying  the  conflict and/or
facilitating open and honest dialogue;  rather than trying
to win  a  debate or  to prove the other  sides  wrong  or
inferior or dishonorable.

The purpose of the above would be to illustrate  effective
ways  of  Mitigating-Alienations  within  the  context  of
particular  chosen  conflicts.    This  would  entail  all
participants   becoming  Informed-About,   Criticizing and
Describing the following  aspects  Of-Each-Of-The-Diverse-
Sides-in-the-Conflict; whether Two-or-More.

 1.  Each-Side's-Contrasting:   assumptions,    attitudes,
convictions, fears,   conceptual-paradigms,  perspectives,
anxieties, strengths, bargaining-assets,  kinds  of power,
kinds  of  wealth,  confusions,   ignorance,   avoidances,
insensitivities, lacks, collusions, etc.

 2.  Each-Side's-Conflicting: Perceptions of other-sides':
Weaknesses,   Strengths,   Flaws,  Vulnerabilities,   Mis-
representations, Motivations, Ideals,  Intentions, etc.

 3.  Ways  to Mitigate-the-Alienations/Conflicts  involved
in  the situation which is the focus of the study ---   in
the manner of Finding-Common-Ground in   Getting  to  YES,
Getting Past NO and Getting Together    (Roger Ficher with
William Ury or Scott Brown)

     Be-Together in the Many-Gracious Ways of Shalom.

                      "Search for Honesty and Integrity"
                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
