Though they have been around since the late 1990's, emoji(表情符號(hào)) usage has increased sharply with the popularity of smartphones.

Recently, a team from the University of Michigan and Peking University studied 427 million messages sent by users in 212 countries to see the differences in emoji usage by culture. Below are emoji use in text messages.

Though these findings were interesting, the most interesting was the conclusion(結(jié)論) that the emoji choice is influenced by societal environment. The researchers say that people living in countries like Australia and France who believe that one person's need is greater than that of a society or group—use happier emojis. But those from countries like Colombia often use sad or angry emojis.

Also, cultures like Turkey and Russia, known for their strictness, appeared to be more satisfied, at least according to the emojis. On the other hand, people in other cultures, like Mexico, seemed unhappy or dissatisfied.

The researchers believe that the findings of “emoji usage” will help make our emoji vocabulary larger. Who knew that the image we add to brighten up our texts could show so much about our culture?

After both sides tell what they think happened to cause the conflict, they discuss ways to solve it. They try to come up with a “resolution” that both sides agree to. They cannot be angry during the communication. Everyone should use good listening and attending skills while talking. If voices get too loud or it appears that someone is angry, the mediator will speak up and have them treat each other with respect. After different suggestions are shared in how to mediate the conflict, it is time for

discussing the best solution(解決辦法).

Here is an example of how conflict resolution works step by step in a school playground setting:

Someone says a student pushed him on the football field.

The person who was accused as the “pusher” says it was actually an accident.

The person who was pushed gets the mediator.

The mediator takes the two persons to a quieter place, away from others to talk.

The mediator calms them down and lets them know he understands their feelings.

Each person describes what happened.

The mediator repeats what he heard, so it is clear to everyone.

The mediator asks for ideas to solve the problem.

The two persons offer their own solutions.

The two persons have a discussion and come to an agreement.

The mediator makes sure the persons follow the solution.

The mediator offers praise for solving the problem.

Conflict resolution can be used in many environments. It encourages people to tell what really happened, to share their feelings, and to work together peacefully to solve the problem. It offers people workable steps to reach an agreement with the help of a mediator.
