A response to Jason's, Week 6-Barker, Chapter 12 (Cultural Space and Urban Place)

I liked Jasons point about space and place being something that we are constantly defining and redefining as we interact with people and messages in our environment. This interaction with its defining and redefining, can cause a lot of unrest as Jason points out. However, I felt like Jason was drawing upon a larger point. Perhaps all these things that touch our lives and invade our space are competing to capture us. Everything is marketed with messages that contain subtle and sometimes not so subtle imperatives. All of these messages are competing for our attention. It seems like each one wants to define who we are and fill our deepest needs. How completely overwhelming and confusing. Its no wonder to me why we all feel the need for some space and some peace there.
