2. Discuss each actors position on the issue in some detail.
3. Why has the actor adopted this position? What interests does the position serve?
4.On what is the disagreement between the two actors based? What is the incompatibility of interests?
5. Why is ones actor position perceived as harmful by the other actor?
6.What is each actors perception of the other? In other words, when discussed by the political leaders or the mass media of the actor in question, how is the adversary described? Is that an accurate or fair depiction?
