Our Blog as a Third Space

Our blog provides an open forum for people from the class to discuss many, many issues related to the multicultural society. However, because it's part of a class and everything said and done is evaluated in some manner, whether by Prof. Whitmire, Nate, or other classmates, students might hold back and screen some of their ideas and thoughts. The blog has many of the characteristics of a Third Space, but doesn't fit all the requirements discussed in lecture today.

In any case, social capital can still be built through the sharing of different ideas and perspectives. This builds relationships between people and helps everyone by increasing the community's knowledge.
