Veronica: Flyvjerg

I agree with Habermas. I feel that through discussion that a consensus can be reached on any topic. It doesn't matter what the topic is whether it be abortion or racism to politics, if people are open and willing to hear other sides or stories and take it in and come to a mutual agreement on things then a consensus can be met. But it is unreachable if people are unwilling to discuss a topic to begin with. Flyvjerg feels Habermas is about consensus while Foucault is about conflict and power. I feel through this class I realized I am more Habermasian than Foucaultian. When in the beginning i felt the opposite.
