How is a collaborative discussion different from a debate

A debate is where two sides are trying to prove the other wrong and their's correct. A collaborative discussion is where the two sides add on to the other's idea to make it more plausible or advanced.

the difference between an explicit and implicit meaning is that the explicit meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to interpretation. an implicit meaning is an implied meaning. kabir's poetry is both explicit and implicit in that it can be interpreted on different levels. the explicit meaning leaves nothing to interpretation while the implicit meaning leaves lots open to interpretation. an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the spiritual lover".
