Communications Question

you should write a response to Habermas (1964) Fraser (1990) and Asen (2004).  Read Habermas first, as Fraser responds to his writing.  Then read Fraser, and lastly, read Asen, as his ideas are influenced by the other two. Focus on their different concepts of the public sphere.

The paper should reflect a critical reading of the texts and your reaction.  Think of the paper as having two parts:

1) Make sure to identify the key arguments/relevant concepts in the readings. Summarize what the authors meant, or at least what you think the authors meant, and try to see the world with that theoretical lense.

2) Critique the  theory from an outside perspective, finding its strengths but also its flaws.
