[QUOTE="ttso, post: 248159, member: 36914"] For the first question, it is not bad to encourage people to speak, but only where it is sensible to do so. If someone doesn't willingly offer up information, it is not your job to make them speak. I think (personally) it becomes more acceptable when you are all debating something and they say nothing, then on occasion you can ask if they have anything further to add, or if they agree. You don't want to push them into a corner. For the second - Speaking last is not a bad thing, you're not trying to fight people to speak. Often, I actually really like speaking last (or 3rd in a group of 4), as it allows me to account for what others have said and respond to their points/include them in my analysis whilst speaking. I think the main thing is actually just making sure you are heard, and that when you speak, it is a valuable addition, not just speaking for the sake of it. [/QUOTE]
