It seems that people often have trouble getting along together. Families argue, neighbors come to blows, coutries lob weapons at each other. Is this the way it has to be? Violence and conflict amongst individuals and nations have been with us for ages and their causes have remained a completely mystery. A law would seem to be: A third party must be present and unknown in every quarrel for a conflict to exist. OR  
For a quarrel to occur, an unknown third party must be active in producing it between two potential opponents. OR
While it is commonly believed to take two to make a fight, a third party must exist and must develop it for actual conflict to occur. 
Mediation may be the role most often identified with conflict resolution, but it is by no means the sole approach of conflict resolvers.
As versatile and useful as mediation is, it has significant limits on what it can provide to people in conflict.
  • Mediation is primarily used to intervene in conflict than to prevent it.
  • Mediation by definition involves a third party who is directly involved in the communication of the problem-solving process.
  • Mediation is usually focused on helping people with a negotiation - that is , helping them to arrive at a mutually acceptable outcome or settlement of issues of concern.
  • Mediation does not necessarily lead to an agreement.
  • Mediation is process focused.
  • Mediation naturally operates at the level of interests.
  • Mediation is a short term intervention.

Violence and crime is a widespread problem that occurs among all ages, genders, races, educational backgrounds, and socioeconomic groups.
Our Society is poised by the effects of distorted images that has been shown to all of us day by day through all kinds of media.
Video games invade our kids and youth minds to the point that they expand their emotions, their desire of power out of their own minds, making in real time the ability and maneuver to conquer their own empire no matter what will take to get there.
Power, desire of things and emotions that money can buy creates conflicts and anger as results.
 We do not know how to deal with this anger or conflict, we have to find a way a escaping that moment of torture. 
Each individual will look for the best way of escaping that moment, making use of anything that can  fit and meet his or her needs at that specific time.
This  action of seeking for the "best way "can cause disturbing effects on the entire mechanism of  society.
 As a result, It will take doubled efforts to bring these individuals back to the level of the majority members of specifics groups into communities and eventually the whole society.
The major of us go to work every day. We get involved in our daily tasks and unfortunately we forget, or give less attention than we should to our kids, teens and elders.
It is also a fact that we do not pay too much attention to ourselves either.
All these factors together will  complete the circle of lacking of communication, interest, awarness, one to one basis, and it will dificult the relationship among all this fields.
Family is the root of  this big tree called society.
It is from this tree that we learn how to love, how to interact, how to survive, communicate, express our emotions,  and it is also from the same tree, from this same society, that we will unfortunately, learn how to hate, how to be aggressive, kill, steal and die.
Like the image of The Chariot on a  tarot card, a warrior driving a chariot pulled by two horses, symbols of energy and activity. One horse is black and the other white, representing opposites, such as heart and head, or dark and light. It is the charioteer's task to find a balance between the two.
We are the charioteer. We have to find the right path, we have to understand the bonds that connects us one to another and seek for the right direction.
We are the past, present and future of human kind.
We learned and teach.
We are born and we die.
This is the circle and mystery of life.

According to the Holy Bible, this scenery of pain and violence happened 1972 years ago.
 People back then, chose to crucify Jesus instead of a thief.
Neither one was actually right.
The point is violence, violent people and  anger 
has been around human kind for ages...
How is everything today around the world?
