“Only a person who has a well developed strong personal self, can venture out to participate in communal life.” (Christopher Alexander et al.) In A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction by Christopher Alexander writes a really seductive idea. It says only one person has a good personal self is able to take risks to join public life. The author uses the research result of “why adult need their own room” to explain his idea. I as a young adult totally agree with this idea. When I was a kid I usually sleep with my grandparents. I do not have a private room or any single space that is belongs to me. At that time I always need a company no matter what I am doing. If their is no one with me I extremely have no sense of security.
