The results of this study are (1) Democratic public sphere is a place to liberate ideas about contemporary social issues and encourage citizens to take social action or solve social problems, (2) the democratic public sphere is a space to internalize values such as tolerance, mutual cooperation, pluralism, and civility as well as respecting the diversity of citizens. (3) The public sphere is an instrument to foster participation and brotherly values that support a peaceful atmosphere in society.
