activities in the public as well as in the private sector. The proposed

Marketing, the Mass Media and Public Relations.

The concept of Public Sphere is that of a theater in modern societies in
which political participation is enacted through the medium of speech.

discourse, the exploration of ideas and the crystallization of a public
view over FLT.
