Question

Juan and Sylvester are collaborating on a group project for a class but are having trouble agreeing on objectives and goals. Their professor senses the trouble they are having and steps in to help them refine their goals and come to an agreement. The professor assumed which of Georg Simmel's roles?
A) mediatorB) team leaderC) the third that rejoicesD) divide and conquer

Answer 1

Answer:

Tertius Gaudens  the third that rejoices

Explanation:

• Tertius Gaudens is a situation in which the other party seeks conflict between other groups because of its satisfaction.
• The term was coined by George Simmel (German sociologist) and translated into third place.
• In this case, both Juan and Sylvester are arguing, while a third, Henry, benefits from it.
