Conversation

Over the course of the past week, we focused on three different types of dialogues. In Makau and Marty’s Dialogue and Deliberation, they stated that dialogue is easier said than done, and after participating and leading one myself, I couldn’t agree more. Throughout this paper, I’m going to reflect on how I prepared myself for not only listening but facilitating, my thoughts on how I participated on both sides during the dialogues, and my overall thoughts of the dialogues. While preparing for…

This was beneficial for me to reflect on as it was not the only time throughout the interview that I found myself pushing forward before Marria was ready. I think that some of this is related to my more used practice styles, and my old ways of conducting client sessions, because this is what feels comfortable. I am used to conducting brief-therapy in a front-line setting where a main component of my job is crisis management and therefore, things have to happen quickly. I am a problem-solver by…

A few years ago I have a difficult dialogue with one of my best friends. I met him through a social network on the Internet. At that time he was living in Reno Nevada and our conversations were always about his marriage problems. In April 2011, he got divorced and in July of the same year my youngest daughter and I had the opportunity to travel to Reno and met him. During my visit there, I also met his ex-wife and their children. At first she looked me as her rival or her enemy, but when we had…

practices in our social interaction. Unlike face-to-face conversation (FTF), these practices are unique because both production and reception footings only utilize verbal communication to perform an entire conversation. There are two different characteristics in which the utterances are transmitted in CMC. The first one is one-way transmission where the recipient is unaware of the process of creating the utterance (i.e. email conversation). The other is two-way transmission where the recipient…

Throughout the article Greenfeld makes the point that we need to be culturally literate to make it through a conversation, instead of expressing how a conversation should be an enjoyable experience. Greenfeld says that we try to “survive” the conversation, and with that thinking we are never going to make closer relationships. With this logic, we are going to “learn” events to simply make it through awkward small talk rather than…

own thoughts in order for the other components of dialogue to work cohesively. Engaging the brain to listen to all conversation around it is necessary in promoting strong dialogue. In conversation and especially debates people focus on getting their two cents in to the conversation. Leading to people only thinking about what they have to say rather than listening to the conversation around them. Daniel…

Turkle believes that society is so easily influenced by technology because it “appeals to us most where we are most vulnerable” (TED). In human conversations there are certain topics that are avoided, or taken into account very carefully. A couple of those points might include references towards political or religious views. Turkle attacks these head on in her interview with Moyers. People are so eager…

The entire conversation took place in a friend’s (BS) common room on campus. It was between a group of relatively close friends who have known each other for a year or more, and the interactions were very relaxed and casual. All of the participants are college students, one freshman and four sophomores. Three of the participants are Caucasian women (SN, NB, & JC) , the other two are men; one is Korean (BS) and the other is Mexican (AS). AS is gay, which had influence on the conversation. The…
