Conflict Management and Resolution: Mon Period 4 - Class # 7 - Feb 19

The Danger Room: Mid-Term Exam

Through the power of Fandom handwavey communication systems, Wilson’s Conflict Management students were informed that their mid-term would be held in the Danger Room today. As they all filed in, Wilson was standing there waiting for them. He was, blessedly, no longer wee and after an hour long scrub in the second bathroom at the house, he also no longer had jam in his hair.

These were good things as far as he was concerned, thankyouverymuch.


“Good morning.” He said, arms crossed as he leaned back against a wall.

“Well, despite this weekend’s shenanigans I already had the midterm set up and the program ready to run for today’s mid-term assignment so, I hope you’re all ready.”

Reaching down into his briefcase he pulled out a handful of manila envelopes.



“The Danger Room has been sectioned off to 18 sections; you will all have the same scenario, detailed out in these folders. Please do not open the folder until you have entered the room with your name on it. This exam is designed to test your understanding of everything we have gone over in class to this point. The way you answer it maybe not be the same as your neighbor. Any questions?”

Looking around at the group, Wilson waved them towards the sectioned off room and began to hand out the envelopes.

“Good luck guys.”

The Exam:

As the students entered their rooms they saw a small table with three chairs, two of the chairs were at either end of the table and one sat in the middle. A Red flag and a Blue flag sat in front of the two opposing chairs. When the students sat down and opened their envelope two little Seusslike creatures appeared in either chair. One dressed in red and one in blue.

The exam read as follows: Welcome to the The Cream Cheese Battle. Please meet the Yuuks in blue and the Zuuks in red. They are two societies locked in a cold war of such over whether to cream cheese the top slice or the bottom slice of a bagel. They are so divided about this subject that they have rapidly escalated the production of the dreaded ‘bitsy big boomeroo’ in anticipation of going to war.

To date all attempts at peaceful negotiation have failed as neither side will yield on their stance about the cream cheese. This is a matter of deep cultural integrity on both sides and both leaders are very proud of their heritage in cream cheese application. Your assignment is to find a way to mediate a cessation of the production of the ‘bitsy big boomeroo’ weapon being developed by both. To do this you will have to address not only the production of this weapon and the potential for mutally assured destruction but also the root cause of the tensions between the Yuuks and the Zuuks and will no doubt need to provide them with both a short term and a long term solution to their difference of opinions.

Good luck!

Image "Of course," said the Zuuk, nodding. "With our bitsy big boomeroo, we'll destroy all the wrong-spreading Yuuks. And then our bottom-slice-spreading lifestyle will be safe for all Zuuks."

Image The Yuuk nodded, and answered, "Our bitsy big boomeroo, will destroy all the Zuuks, and make the land safe for top-slice-spreading Yuuks."

"But if you both set off your bitsy big boomeroos, you'll destroy each other," Layla argued. "And then no one will know how to spread cream cheese at all. They might skip the it altogether, and use butter, or jelly!"

Image "Butter?" gasped the Zuuk, looking horrified at the thought.

Image "Jelly!" exclaimed the Yuuk, eyes wide with shock.

"I know!" Layla said, making sure to sound just as horrified. "I mean, everyone knows that only cream cheese is acceptable for bagels."

Image "How can we stop it?" the Zuuk asked, already imagining the chaos of butter-on-bagels groups infiltrating his town.

Image "What do we do?" The Yuuk was looking just as worried, seeing images of jam-on-bagels insurgents.
