The Mediator

6,566,400 seconds I prepared for the exact moment I would walk through that door. I had done this twice before but I was still shaking with nerves because I never know what expect. “Mr. Cotton, I am Samantha Bar-” “It is Dr. Cotton.” At that point the slightest bit of confidence I had was gone and I was about to run right out the door after it. January 8th 2016 was the Regional DECA Conference at Monroe Community College. Not only was I an officer supporting my members at the conference, I was competing in a partner event. My partner Nate, and I spent weeks preparing for our role play in Sports and Entertainment Marketing. Our role play time was 9:45 and we had arrived thirty minutes early to prepare. The mediator handed us the piece of paper…

Reflection One: Identifying a Mediator When hearing the word “mediator” one thinks of a person who eases a conflict between two or more people. In the theological sense, it is viewed slightly different. The term/concept of “mediators” was used by Friedrich Schleiermacher, who is considered the founder of modern theology. The term later was developed further by John Macquarrie who wrote Mediators Between Human and Divine. In this book, according to Maquarrie, mediators have ten distinct qualities…

I do not have direct experiences enforcing rules pertaining to living standards and community norms, and I have limited experience directly addressing disruptive behavior. However, I am certain that based on the experiences that I have had and my qualities as a leader and a problem-solver will help me meet the demands of the job. For example, during all four years of my high school I served as a Peer Mediator to address fights and disputes between two students. During the lunch hour, my partner…

In Exodus 33:12-16, a new side of Moses is visible where he is actively accepting his duty to be the mediator between God and His people. There is also a shift in Moses’ and God’s interaction. Moses begins taking more control of the conversation by professing his thoughts on the Israelites and how they should be lead. This shift extends to the fact that Moses is not just God’s hand picked spokesman to the people, but is now his faithful companion. In the beginning of this excerpt, Moses…

However, remaining neutral will help the mediation process by preserving its reliability. Although mediators face legal, moral, and ethical issues on a regular basis – they must maintain a neutral standpoint to prevent escalating problems.

There are mediator microbial fuel cells and mediator-free microbial fuel cells. In the mediator MFCs, mediators like methyl viologen, neutral red, thionine, methyl blue, humic acid, etc. facilitate the electrons transferred from the microbial cells to the electrode (Park and Zeikus 2000). Most of these mediators are very expensive and highly toxic to humans. Mediator-free microbial fuel cells, however, do not require a mediator, and therefore they are less expensive and much safer. The…

When most individuals hear the word diversity they immediately relate the word to race. Although diversity has somewhat to do with race, I believe that diversity is any difference an individual may have. Diversity includes temperament; gender; a range of language, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; differences in ability, cognitive styles, and learning preferences; and students with disabilities. As a future educator I will serve as a cultural mediator to guide students to think critically…
