Habermas's definition of public sphere is a domain in our social life where public opinions can be formed. The problems found by Nancy Frasier in Habermas's definition can be generally described in two different ways. Habermas said a public sphere should have easy access to all, but in fact this was not the case in the early years of the American political process. The second deals in the realm of equality, everyone was not treated equal in the public spheres of yesterday. In fact, forms of status where used to separate people within these spheres and to prevent others from getting their voices heard. In the case of upper and lower class citizens, the upper class's opinions were weighted heavier than the opinions of the poor. Likewise could be said about women vs. men and blacks vs. whites.
I believe the public i target with this blog page are people of any background that can provide insight or more information to the concepts of Democracy and the involvement of new media.
