Chapter 5

Chapter 5 says about dialogic ethics which emphasizes learning and understanding differences. I think Dialogic ethics are really needed to communicate well with people. I totally agree with the idea that difference is key to learning. Among people having differences, learning enables people to open to others and new ideas. I like the idea that dialogic ethics possible without demands. 

The book gives five coordinates to invite dialogue that makes me strongly agree while reading. First, the book encourages you to be a listener. I think listening to others is as important as learning to live well in a postmodern culture at the same time. The book also says ceasing demand to avoid making dialogue to monologue. More than that it mentions that acknowledge bias which is inevitable and not all communication provide possibility for dialogue. Last, it says keeping content and learning foremost. I think dialogic ethics encourages us to learn and aware of differences that exist around us. As the guidelines offered, listening without demand, attentiveness, dialogic negotiation that emerge the answers and temporal dialogic ethical competence are needed to listen and learn difference like what dialogue is.
