In this Discussion Forum, please respond to the following questions:
We often hear various references to the public public works, the public goods, etc. What/Who is the "public"? Why do you define it this way?
Write about your community (local, national, or global)--its strengths and weaknesses. What you would like to change about your community and why?
Think about the two articles you read this week as well as the introduction to this topic at the top of this page. What kinds of "scholarship" might you be involved in to address the changes you want to see in your communities? Describe in detail making specific references to the readings and materials.
