You can touch a public space ... But can get thrown in jail for touching a private space.
LOL
What are the differences between public and private spaces?
Where you are allowed and not allowed.
Public space for me is like arms length three quarters of a way around me. Private space is any closer or from behind.
You let only the closest ones to get to your private space, or don't let anyone at all, this is up to a persom to decide the preferred distance, I mean, the range he or she feels the most comfortable on their own in. In public space, you may appear to be a different person, hiding your desires and putting on some social roles, this is the space you share with other people.
The public space where we can go in or go around but a private one where is for the owner, so we don't have the right to go to.
