- I compress the messages of Thursday in the following quote (slide 118):

 

Public spaces have many purposes in social life - they allow people to make sense of the social norms that regulate society, they let people learn to express themselves and learn from the reactions of others, and they let people make certain acts or expressions 'real' by having witnesses acknowledge them.

- Hannah Arendt, The Human Condition -
