SOCIAL GLOBE

What and where is the public sphere?

The public sphere is an area where people can gather and discuss social problems; a place or forum to gather information, discuss and debate options and ideas.

These places include, but are not limited to....

• Newspapers
• TV
• Newsletters
• Bulletin Boards
• Websites
• Community Events
• Magazines
• Theaters
• Coffee Shops
• Sidewalks
• Flyers
• Public Announcements
• Posters
• Pamphlets
• Window arts

At each location, you can discover different interest and concerns. A coffee house discussion would be organized completely different than a discussion taking place during a community event. Information provided on a poster or flyer does not include all the important information that could be found in pamphlets, magazines, or newspapers.
