Public Spheres

        The public spheres that I belong to in Memphis range from a dozen people to thousands. Whether it is one of my classes or being a University of Memphis student, my public spheres are broad and thus provide different information. Sometimes in order to get information I need, I must delve into others' public spheres such as a librarian and her library or work study students in Wilder Tower. Being a part of so many public spheres allows me to learn different things as well. I am a part of the "Mighty Sound of the South" public sphere, so it can be inferred that I know how to play an instrument, read music, and march. Even my friends and me are a public sphere of our own because we can be separated into our category based on different attributes.  Every sphere is a matter of perspective. If a group can be detached from a larger group on purely analytical grounds then it can be considered another public sphere as it is seen to the public. Another, smaller, public sphere of mine is my work place which consist of about a half dozen people that work when I do. As you can see, public spheres are only categorized by definition and always are a public group.
