Ury's Video
- Discussion between Joseph, Veronica, Yukta (short short summary)
- Initial reaction is Ury's approach seems unrealistic especially in terms of large conflicts
- Appreciated the idea of the Abrahamic Walk to bring consensus down to a community level rather than focusing on negotiating between politicians
Homework: Please post your responses and discussion questions for Little Rock for next week by Tuesday morning.
Hi all,
I will try and make it to the meeting but power cuts just increased. I have no real agenda for today evening's discussion since no one has posted their responses to Little Rock as of yet.
Today's discussion will focus on the following questions from Emily:
* We learned from this film that people can help defuse conflict without necessarily having a background in conflict resolution. What skills and values are necessary for someone to be an effective conflict resolver?
* What techniques does Steve Nawojczyk, the county coroner, use to deal with the gang situation in Little Rock? Why do you think these techniques are successful?
* What reasons do people in the film give for joining gangs? Do these reasons fit in with the theories you read in the article? How do you get your needs met differently from the people who joined gangs?
* How did the gang situation in Little Rock escalate? How did it de-escalate?
Enjoy the discussion
