I feel that communication majors should make good mediators
for many reasons because they are knowledgeable in the subject. One reason is that they understand how
important listening is. For example, you will want to let the speaker know that
you are listening by keeping eye contact or by nodding. Also, communication
majors know how deal with conflict. They understand that there are different
types of steps that you can take when trying to confront conflict or resolve
it. On the other hand, lawyers and psychotherapists may not be the best at
being mediators. Lawyers specialty is understand the law, and psychotherapists
learn how to interpret human behavior. Neither
of them were taught how to communicate well. Therefore, they have not learned
the skills, knowledge, or concepts to be a good communicator. Communication is
a key component of our very day life, and it is important to be able to
communicate effectively.
