A conversation is communication between two or more people. Conversations are the ideal form of communication in some respects, since they allow people with different views on a topic to learn from each other. A speech, on the other hand, is an oral presentation by one person directed at a group. For a successful conversation, the partners must achieve a workable balance of contributions. A successful conversation includes mutually interesting connections between the speakers or things that the speakers know. For this to happen, those engaging in conversation must find a topic on which they both can relate to in some sense. Those engaging in conversation naturally tend to relate the other speaker's statements to themselves. They may insert aspects of their lives into their replies, to relate to the other person's opinions or points of conversation.

Conversation is indispensable for the successful accomplishment of almost all activities between people, especially the coordination of work, the formation of friendship and for learning.

Conversation analysis is a branch of sociology which studies the structure and organization of human interaction, with a more specific focus on conversational interaction.

What is the best topic for a small group discussion?
Q. We're going to have a small group discussion to be presented in class. I need ideas about topics which are both interesting and fun to discuss and elaborate in the class.

What was involved in the discussion over the Declaration Of Independence?
Q. Before the Declaration was signed, there was a discussion over it by the delegates. It was then re-written, and that was the final copy. What was involved in this discussion?
Asked by derejrcar - Fri Feb 8 13:15:39 2008 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Many delegates were still wanting certain aspects of the Articles of Confederation to be in the new document. The debates were whether or not a strong Central Government or a strong state government was best for this new nation. Many looked to the old world, Europe, as an example for strong states, while others pointed out the flaws from those same state government concepts as reason to go to a Strong central system. Almost 100 years later the US would be at war with itself STILL fighting over this issue.

Why all the discussion about covering illegal immigrants in the health care bill?
Q. Why are they even in the discussion? Is this attempt to get more future fraudulent votes for Democrats? Enforce the immigration laws and seal the border and forget just another bogus amendment to this bill that will ruin our health care in this country.

A. Another question to go with this question, "Why is there a lobby group for illegal aliens?" There isn't a lobby group for robbers, murderers, or other criminals. They broke the law, sorry if you don't agree, but the law says they can't come into the US without proper papers.
