Conflict Management Evaluation for the interview of Jeremy Paxman and Russell Brand

Introduction
The journals of mass medium say that an interview is a great way of knowing a person to the
core of his heart if the interviewee follows certain norms to understand the real intent behind the
replies that a person is offering (Brugha et al, 2016). From the point of view of an interviewer, it
is important for a person to understand the direct and hidden agenda of the interviewee. It is a
general pretext that most of the celebrities often come up to elaborate upon a conflict, but ends
up serving their personal agendas (Chen et al, 2017). This somehow corrupts the environment of
the negotiation and drifts the conversation into tangent arenas. The current reflective analysis of
the interview between Jeremy Paxman and Russell Brand is an attempt to identify the conflicts
that raised themselves during the course of the interview. Apart from the identification of the
conflict points we will also try to figure out a path of conflict resolution from the point of view
of both the participants.
Analysis of the Interview
While going for the analysis of an interview an analyst can find six-pointers that can serve
handily. These six pointers go asunder.
 Identification of the intentions behind the questions
 Identifications of the replies from the point of view of the interviewee
 Intermediate responses of the interviewee
 The tendency of the non-reply and the intentions behind
 Presence of illustrative examples to support the arguments
