I added this sentence to the first section of the [Conflict] article:

Culture and conflict are inextricably linked. However, this does not mean cultural differences inevitably produce conflict.

I also referenced the source: http://www.powerofculture.nl/en/specials/culture-and-conflict/Introduction Haleyhook (talk) 01:47, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

I chose to work on the article: [Conflict]

I also posted this on the articles talk page:

I posted this plan to the talk page of my article: PLANS: I plan on researching more about this topic to expand the information on its wiki page. I would like to have more headings with information that I have researched. I will begin by reading through my sources and making a summary version of what I will add. Hopefully I will add more information that is helpful to readers about how cultures get into cultural conflict, and how to respond. SUMMARY VERSION I will begin by discussing how cultures work, taking from Michelle LeBaron's article. -culture is multi-layered -culture is constantly in flux -culture is elastic -Culture is largely below the surface, influencing identities and meaning-making, or who we believe ourselves to be and what we care about -Cultural influences and identities become important depending on context I will then get into how to respond to cultural conflict, taking again from Michelle LeBaron's article -Cultural fluency: familiarity with cultures and awareness of:

    -Communication,
    -Ways of naming, framing, and taming conflict,
    -Approaches to meaning making,
    -Identities and roles.

-High context communication -low context communication -people have a range of starting points for making sense of their lives, including:

    -universalist (favoring rules, laws, and generalizations) and particularist (favoring exceptions, relations, and contextual evaluation)
    -specificity (preferring explicit definitions, breaking down wholes into component parts, and measurable results) and diffuseness (focusing on patterns, the big picture, and process over outcome)  
    -inner direction (sees virtue in individuals who strive to realize their conscious purpose) and outer direction (where virtue is outside each of us in natural rhythms, nature, beauty, and relationships)  
    -synchronous time (cyclical and spiraling) and sequential time (linear and unidirectional)

I received a message back from the author of the article that said, "I'll be looking forward to your expansion"

I combined two sections on the cultural conflict page and changed the section titles.

INFLUENCE & UNDERSTANDING Michelle LeBaron describes different cultures as "underground rivers that run through our lives and relationships, giving us messages that shape our perceptions, attributions, judgments, and ideas of self and other". She states that cultural messages "shape our understandings" when two or more people are present in regards to relationships, conflict, and peace. LeBaron discusses the influence of culture as being powerful and "unconscious, influencing conflict and attempts to resolve conflict in imperceptible ways". She states that the impact of culture is huge, affecting "name, frame, blame, and attempt to tame conflicts". Due to the huge impact that culture has on us, LeBaron finds it important to explain the "complications of conflict". First, "culture is multi-layered", meaning that "what you see on the surface may mask differences below the surface". Second, "culture is constantly in flux", meaning that "cultural groups adapt in dynamic and sometimes unpredictable ways". Third, "culture is elastic", meaning that one member of a cultural group may not participate in the norms of the culture. Lastly, "culture is largely below the surface", meaning that it isn't easy to reach the deeper levels of culture and its meanings.

Help us improve the Wikipedia Education Program

Hi Haleyhook! As a student editor on Wikipedia, you have a lot of valuable experience about what it's like to edit as a part of a classroom assignment. In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it's extremely helpful to hear from real student editors about their challenges, successes, and support needs. Please take a few minutes to answer these questions by clicking below. (Note that the responses are posted to a public wiki page.) Thanks!

Wow. I am impressed with the work you've done! Great job. Keep it up! Ajungle (talk) 08:08, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

I fixed my references so that they are all under the same article. I also tried to combine two of the sections on the page, but it didn't get approved. I chose these two articles to peer review:

Mediation

Child of Deaf Adult

Peer Revisions:

Child of Deaf Adult- Marina's Talk Page The definition is very well written and clear. I love that it discusses the challenges and support organizations for CODAs. It not only tells people what a CODA is, but gives CODAs support and provides them with a place that they can get further support. The interpreting opportunities available to CODAs also adds a special touch at the end of the article. It gives readers a positive outlook on CODAs and allows people to understand the impact they can have. The references, links, and structure all looks great! Way to go!

Mediation- Bclopez Talk Page I couldn't find your additions to the article on its talk page or your talk page. To make it easier to find the work you've done you could add a section for each wiki assignment on your talk page. You can look at mine to see how I organized it, it's pretty helpful. There is so much information on this article, it's crazy! It is very organized though. I like the sections that it is divided into, and I like that some of them use bullets for easier interpretation. I feel like the amount of information and sections is a little overwhelming, so if some can be combined that might help. The paragraphs are well written and all of the references and hyperlinks work. I really like how well developed the definition is. A lot of times wiki definitions are only a few sentences, but this article provides readers with a better understanding of what mediation actually is. Good work!

Wikipedia 10

I only got one persons feedback and it was all mostly positive. I went over everything and checked for small edits. The only thing I did was post on the talk page about a reference that is missing in the definition section.

Just took the final. Thank you for all of the things that you have taught us this semester and the interest that you have in furthering your relationships with all of your students! I appreciate all that I have learned from you!

Peer Review

Hey Haley I really enjoyed reading your revisions to this page. I think there was such truth to the information about conflict being such fluid concept. I liked the quote talking about "naming, framing, and taming" the issue. That's exactly what needs to be done! Identify issues, look at the context, and then work on solving it. I think that you made a great deal of headway on giving this article some substance and applaud you for that! Marina Chapman (talk) 17:53, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
