In a conversation that began in 2005 following the suicide of a teenager in Las Vegas, D’Agata’ s essay presented to the Harper’s magazine was rejected because it had inconsistencies in the presentation of facts.

They emphasize the following of due process when it comes to solving disputes in society. While East Asian Philosophies advocate for disputes to be settled through mediation, western laws prefer litigation as the primary approach in dispute settlement, and mediation is only considered an alternative.
