The first hat is blue which represents process oriented person. Next, the white hat represents person is who likes to focus on issues. The red hat is based on someone who relies on feelings. The gray hat is for a person who is collaborative. The yellow hat looks at the benefits of the situations. Lastly, the black hat is the cautious one that looks at the impacts of a given scenario. Overall, when you are in a meeting people you feel find that they stick with one hat. In order to have people not stay on one hat you need to be willing to collaborate and work with them. After we finished our exercise we then began working on our role plays. My mediation centered on a trucker who was wrongly fired because he had a slight amount of marijuana in his system. As the trucker I had to tell the mediators that I did not smoke any sort of marijuana. The reason that my test came back positive was due to the fact the people in the next apartment smoked a lot and therefore gave me a contact high. The director who originally administered the test was very reasonable with his propositions. I was told that I should remove the marijuana leaf belt buckle and I should also cut my hair. I agreed that these proposals were reasonable since the un-kept long hair and marijuana belt buckle did not help my particular case. The director also agreed to allow me to move myself away from the apartment where the marijuana was coming from. Since I did not want to be near to smoke I thought that moving apartment, or contacting the property manager were the best solutions to fixing the problem. Once we came to an agreement the mediators made sure to have that particular agreement in writing. Aside from my part in the mediation, I thought that the two mediators performed very well and covered all the necessary requirements for an opening statement. Overall, this mediation was enjoyable for me because I felt
