Communication majors would make good mediators because they
are constantly learning about people and different situations. As communication majors, we are constantly learning
about listening, understanding and helping others deal with conflicts. Learning about how to act and understand
these different situations would be extremely helpful when being a
mediator. It is easier for someone to
not be biased when being used to hearing both sides of the situation and
looking at the situation as a whole.
Having that skill puts communication majors ahead of a lot of different
professions. It would be difficult for a
lawyer to be an unbiased mediator because they are used to being a part of one
of the two sides and defending that particular position. It would be hard for them to give up what
they are accustomed to, hearing both sides.
It would be a similar outcome when dealing with a psychotherapist. Psychotherapists are used to hearing about
different situations yet in the end, they usually side with the victim. In this instance, it would again be difficult
to remain unbiased when that isn't what a person is used to.
