The web lecture lays out this form of governmental relationship where a person is truly her and where “authentic dialogue” actually occurs. The differences between the other forms of democracy and dialogic democracy serve to depict the importance of dialogic democracy.

In participatory democracy, we would have disregarded the needs of the some in the interest of having many participate, the previous leads to an unequal distribution of power and forgoes true distribution of power amongst the people. Dialogic democracy while an onerous task allows for all to truly be heard and for true recognition of needs by striking a balance between self expression and recognition the needs of others.
