Contrasting Debate with Conversation and Exploring Looping for Understanding

Debate is seen as a performance and can be entertaining, but it lacks human connection which conversation emphasizes. In conversation, looping for understanding is crucial to show active listening. This involves asking a question, summarizing the speaker's words, and confirming understanding. By using this technique, individuals become more likely to listen to each other, creating a genuine exchange rather than just waiting for their turn to speak.
