or Conversation? "We live in a technological universe in which we are always communicating. And yet we have sacrificed conversation for mere connection" (Turkle). In this age of technology, our society has pulled itself toward the latest new gadget. They're overhyped and overused. Keeping eye contact and holding an average conversation has fallen by the wayside. We Americans pride ourselves in possessions because it's often easier to talk about what we have, rather than deeper conversations…

Different Educational Conversations Education takes many different forms. It does not always have to involve an academic setting with a person who takes the role of a dominant teacher passing on known information to students that are not knowledgeable in the subject. Education also take place in a peer-to-peer conversation, in other words among those with equal amounts of knowledge who exchange ideas and/or perspectives.

different kinds of conversations from my cousins, most of whom are practicing physicians. They talk about their kids’ performance in school, celebrities, daily life, new gadgets and the like.

The Labyrinth of Renewed Conversation is a public art intervention that intends to offer not only a “public experience of space but rather public debate that becomes the work of art,” something that “can end with its acceptance or rejection” (Hein, 1996: 4) (North, 1990: 860–879). Labyrinth of Renewed Conversation seeks to demonstrate the somewhat ‘knotty’ situation that students have faced in South Africa with regards to the #FeesMustFall movement.
