Description
Summary:	Mediation practices play a major role in shaping and defining cultural and individual identity. They are essentially social processes that embody the language, symbol, rituals, practices, and values of culture and at the same time create them. From examination of the discourse and stylized idioms used by Chinese-Malaysian mediators, cultural embodiment and reproduction were evident in their practices. In fact, the goals, values, and roles of the mediators and enactment of the mediation process as a social exchange stand in marked contrast to the normative model of mediation encouraged by Lawyers Engaged in Alternative Dispute Resolution (LEADR) and Charlton and Dewdney (1995).
