May 18th 2022: "The Collapse of Conversation"

On Healthscape, we often discuss chronic stress and how to deal with it. However, prevention of, and reduction in stress are equally important. Once a much appreciated and relished activity, the conversation appears to be in decline, A 'simple conversation' these days is seldom simple, and rarely very conversational. The proliferation of emotional triggers, and a lower threshold of tolerance, have made conversations more brittle, often tipping these into hostility. Recent increased societal stress levels and social polarization have been blamed for this phenomenon and a good deal of f

Ivan Obolensky

Bio: About – Ivan Obolensky Ivan’s unusual upbringing provides the background for a fascinating new novel that captures the American high society of the 1970s, weaving intrigue and the occult in a style uniquely his that will enchant the reader. Ivan attended Buckley and The Hill School and spent a year at Lancing College in Sussex, England before attending Boston University. He wrote in his youth, but it was never a passion.

However, prevention of, and reduction in stress are equally important. Once a much appreciated and relished activity, the conversation appears to be in decline, A 'simple conversation' these days is seldom simple, and rarely very conversational. The proliferation of emotional triggers, and a lower threshold of tolerance, have made conversations more brittle, often tipping these into hostility. Recent increased societal stress levels and social polarization have been blamed for this phenomenon and a good deal of flak has hit the shifty shoulders of social media.

Perhaps 'Time Deficit Disorder' is yet the greatest culprit of all in the degradation of conversation, as we are so busy making our way in the world and trying to get ahead, that insufficient time is allocated to nearly everything we do. We take less time to listen, less time to understand and reflect, and are quick to deliver our opinion as a judgement. An interesting, cerebral and at times quirky tour through an array of perspectives. VoiceAmerica | Talk Radio | Online Talk Radio studio@voiceamerica.com false DD/MM/YYYY Add to Calendar
