1‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍. Be critical. always be CRITICAL 2. Be academic. choose more theoretical journals not the very new ones. MUST use the first two journals I applied to you. better use the rest, but be free to search more relevant ones. 3. Structure: Introduction Literature review: what is public space- what is private space- how these two distinct each other back in times. Literature review- critical analysis the development of social media- how social media changed and made the distinction between public and private space meaningless- to what extent (e.g. How it relate to the democracy; Psychological control people’s personal life; Living environment is also affected? Self-awareness is also affected by unilateral information etc..). better related to the politics. Examples : write two examples that related to this question and talk how the examples elated to the literature above (e.g. quote the writer name) Critical thinking- to what extent it does make the spaces meaningless. however, does people still have the spaces nowadays? discuss this direction of the topic. Use academic journals to support the idea. Conclusion 4. The idea of the public and a public space has been central to the history of political thought, while theories of media and communications have frequently drawn on Jurgen Habermas’ theory of the public sphere. However, are these ideas still r‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍elevant today? In this lecture, we address a number of questions. First, what do we mean by something being public? How does it differ and interact with private space? Next, we introduce and grapple with two dimensions of Habermas’s public sphere theory. The first focuses on the public sphere as a historical phenomenon and the manner by which conversation and debate through Western Europe helped to forge critical, independent thinking in opposition to absolutist rule. The second dimension focuses on the public sphere as a normative construct or an explanatory rationale for the organization of communication in democratic societies. On both dimensions, critics assail the concept of the public sphere for its many exclusions. Some focus on the omission of marginalized groups from the European public sphere, whereas others emphasize the lack of consideration of affective modes of debate or conversation or challenge the model of deliberative democracy that public sphere theory implies. Taking stock of these myriad exclusions, this lecture debates the relevance of the public sphere for understanding the value of democratic communication today. 5. the essay should be very academic. the literature reviews, the examples are both based on theories debates. so Please write this part of the essay. also in the critical part, can also discuss the theories debate to prove the poi‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍nt.
