One concept I found interesting in chapter six was "The Public as Sacred Space". On page 109 the book states that public should be a space that is honored and valued, which I personally agree with. Without the public being upheld like a sacred place, our society is would not be safe enough for differences. We are entitled to protecting this domain and keeping it as diverse as possible in order to learn more from one another.
One example I can give of this concept is The first Amendment of the Constitution. The first Amendment directly affects the concept of the public being sacred space by ensuring that we are free to verbally express ourselves however we feel necessary. This Amendment values individual point of views and promotes a flow of diverse personalities to express themselves. The book states that we protect the diversity in the public domain, which the first amendment ensures.
