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.

Diplomacy is difficult if you are related to the people you are dealing with, as it entails much baggage and undercurrents of emotion. For instance, trying to broker a truce between my brothers, that is not very easy, and then there is the underlying stress of the debate over whose mother was really married to father at the time of their births and which is a bastard or not, and well... *stares off into sapace a moment*

I much prefer diplomacy between strangers, it seems to me that it is more straighforward and less likely to lead to duels in the library.

Anything with family has additional strains.
