An Analysis of the Public Sphere in a Post-Industrial, Capitalist Mass Democracy


Uploaded on authorSTREAM by roseva1

If you have been directed here please watch this short powerpoint presentation about Jurgen Habermas and his theory of the public sphere. Please post comments and tell me what you think. I will be using these comments to make assertions about the strength of the public sphere through the internet in regards to this specific project. A final conclusion video will be posted in about one week in which I will discuss my findings. Thank you very much.

Yeah, I can see that. The internet is a great place to develop a public sphere. People come together and can create petitions or generate discussion boards and such. The internet is probably fascinating, in terms of it's addicting quality and the mere fact it even exists is amazing. As more people switch to internet sort of activities, I think more opinions like blogs and things like facebook come out that help grow the public sphere. ~ Maya
