Dialogical understanding is quite interesting due to the nature of it's beauty being tied into comparisons and contradictions through the process of developmental deliberation. "Dialogic ethics is the meeting place for learning in the age of difference ."(81) The definition says it itself.
There is impending contradictions in any new process of developmental co-cognitive constructions. It's never hard to find something different but what you find that is similar is whats special and will most likely be the starting spark between the conversation.
Within politics today there is a lot of miscommunication and restating of the same topic. If an issue appears wrong to a politician they will try to state the same solutions without any cognitive idea if the solution is helpful. They use the negative of each person to their advantage and do not truly agree in any difference, but use it for the worse.
I completely agree with your comments on today's politics, and find it fascinating how politicians currently interact. In the recent political debates, I have noticed that candidates tend to quickly dodge questions from moderators and other politicians, and begin to state things about themselves or things unrelated to the current topic. They refuse to accept the difference among each other and resort to attacking and denouncing rival candidates. Often times the debates get off track and shy away from important conversation and contention that should take place.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to politicians having trouble agreeing on difference, many normal citizens have the same problem. Opposing views and statements can easily cause people to be offended and turn to attacking others.Conversations become personal rather than constructive, the idea of learning gets thrown out. This problem is amplified by interactions on the internet and social media, people hiding behind their computer screens are not afraid to say horrible things to one another. Face to face dialogue is fading, and it makes me question whether or not the obsession with social media will fade, or we will continue to be glued to our phones and computers.
