Week 4, Post 1


Communication majors would be great at being mediators. When you study communications you learn many ways to communicate. I have taken classes for public speaking, persuasion, debates, performance, etc. I believe learning all of those types of ways to communicate would make communication majors great mediators because they are very versatile and they know how to communicate in many different ways. Having these communication skills also allows me to connect well in my social life. I know how to speak with good posture, eye contact, and even debate if I needed to. I think that psychotherapist would have a problem being a mediator because they are trained to speak in a smaller and more closed setting. Psychotherapists usually draw their attention to the patient and their needs and try to see how they can help their patient. Lawyers might have a difficult time effectively playing the role of a mediator because they are used to being on one side and trying to persuade their audience to believe what they are saying. Lawyers are tend to be more one sided and are not able to mediate.
