Diplomacy

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

Today I’d like for you to tell me what conditions you think encourage diplomacy and which conditions make it difficult.

For your homework, please pick one of each condition and explain further. Use true scenarios or if you cannot think of one that fits, make one up. Papers should be two pages, typed.

Ma'am, can I be excused from this class for today? I'll put todays assignment into my paper?

I'll allow it if you feel uncomfortable.

*nods* Thank you, ma'am. I'll make it up with the homework.

Ma'am, what I just said about joining class? I'd like to. And here's my assignment. But I think...

I may have to do some personal diplomacy. Fortunately, Cameron and I understand each other pretty well despite the stammering and blushing. We trust each other, so that should encourage honest sharing of what's wanted and needed to resolve the problem.

On the other hand, if this continues, I will have a hard time being diplomatic with Sheppard. He seems to feel as though he has a right to take and use whatever information he finds in whatever manner he wishes. And while, as a trader's brat, I know the value of information, and won't hesitate to use what I know to gain an advantage, I believe there are lines you don't cross. For example, personal life may be alluded to. But except in cases of life or death to large numbers of people, it should not be exposed to the public at large. Therefore, since Sheppard and I have differing value systems and no respect for each other, diplomacy will be difficult.

If I could be excused please?

Diplomacy is not an easy subject. You will often have to face strong disagreement. I hope you would rise to the challenge and not shy away.

Yes ma'am. Beka Valentine doesn't know the meaning of the word "quit". Even if apparently someone has recently taught her the meaning of "shy".

If you'd prefer, I'll remain in class. Otherwise, I'm feeling a little overexposed. It's rather awkward.

Class wouldn't be the same without you. And I do mean that in a positive way.

If you're sure. Thank you. I can see you're trying to help.
