Introduction
Have you ever had an argument with someone? Some arguments are caused because people have different opinions about a topic. Each person tries to convince the other of his or her opinion. Have you ever tried to convince someone that your opinion was right? Was there a conflict? If so, how did you go about resolving the conflict?

In this exercise, you will read about peer mediation and resolving conflict. Then you will write about a conflict from your own experience, the cause of the conflict, and the way you resolved the conflict.
