‘Dialogues: A Fake Romance?’ </b><br><br>For a dialogue to form, the
process requires another. When another is presented the dialogue becomes
a dichotomy. Do we adopt another persona according to who we are
talking to and how genuine is that chat? Dialogue can be seen as an
exchange but this exchange is not always equal or amicable, it can
manifest into an emotional charge, disagreements, it may lead to
conflicts, irrationality, fake romances, or jealous contingencies. Does
dialogue hinder us or further us? <br><br>According to David Bohm, no
one wins a dialogue; a dialogue is an exploratory process and does not
work towards a goal. However, Mikhail Bakhtin held that relationships
and connections exist among all living beings, and that dialogue creates
a new understanding of a situation that demands change.<br><br><b>How
