7. Massively Parallel Roles & Tasks

Conflict Educators and Trainers help speed the flow of information on more constructive ways of handling conflict that show people that there are better ways of preventing and solving conflict than fighting (sometimes violently) about it. Examples include all of the elementary, secondary, and college-level conflict resolution teaching programs (such as peer mediation at the elementary and secondary schools which are documented by the Conflict Resolution Education Connection. Beyond this, there are certificate and degree programs in peace and conflict resolution at many colleges and universities around the world. There are also programs like Educating for American Democracy and the National Civic League that try to strengthen such efforts. Finally, there are the many NGOs (far too numerous to list) that offer conflict resolution training to businesses, government agencies, and other organizations (such as churches and schools) to help them better deal with their internal and/or client conflicts.
