Contact Zones and Responding

As a way of encouraging you to respond to each other, please post a response to any one of the postings or my comments and offer your ideas.

For example, consider Will's thinking about the cafeteria.
Can you identify a space in the cafeteria people of varying cultures (social, age or ethnic groups) would meet for a common purpose and inevitably clash and grapple?

You may want to respond to one of the discussions about zones in Burlington.
Where and why do cultures meet?

Wha????
