Academic Presentation

Conflict is present and destructive at all levels of life and society. Our still-new century is rife with inter-personal conflicts that are expressed and originated on various accounts: ethnic, religious, psychological, economic, etc. Because conflict is so damaging to society, mediation and conflict resolution has become a very important skill, one that can be applied to serve many organizations and government bodies.
