10 Ways To Have A Conversation: Celeste Headlee

10 Ways To Have A Conversation by Celeste Headlee was a very interesting speech. Two things I found interesting were the idea of asking questions when you don't understand: many people are too afraid to do this and end up not understanding the conversation they're having and the content they should be absorbing. Another was being in the moment. It's discouraging when you're talking to someone and they aren't paying attention. And when you're the one not paying attention, are you really having a conversation, or is someone just talking to you as background noise?

One I watched, called Bike Thief , showed a social experiment in which 2 men went into broad daylight in New York City and stole a bike. It observes people's reactions to different people committing this crime and in different situations.
