  Active Worlds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Public Building Worlds, such as "Alphaworld" or "AWTeen", are vast and expansive worlds that allow any citizen (and in certain cases, tourists) the opportunity to build to their hearts content, with the limit of building being imagination.
Builders in private worlds can have the advantage of importing large objects from other programs directly into their world at discretion of the world caretaker.
Active Worlds routers did not last for long due to the extreme amount of users downloading the new 4.1 browser and a large amount of users in the new 4.1 universe.

 Is Private School Privatizing
Private schoolers and home schoolers are definitely not the isolated recluses that critics suggest they might be.
By contrast, private Catholic schools, other Christian schools, home schools, and even nonreligious private schools are much more likely to be based upon particularistic religious, moral, and other normatively committed traditions that embed their participating families in shared moral cultures that foster social solidarity and trust.
The empirical evidence is clear and decisive: private schoolers and home schoolers are considerably more civically involved in the public square than are public schoolers-even when the effects of differences in education, income, and other related factors are removed from the equation.

 John Huntington- Public and Private Imperatives in Le Guin's Novels
In this early novel the conflict between the public triumph and private loss does not pose an ethical problem but serves to give contour to the heroic idea: we can admire the hero because he has made sacrifices and, importantly, because it is implicit that he—and the author—see more to life than just public victory.
The antagonism of both nations to the private world represented by Ai and Estraven's love is not simply a given; it derives from the nature of power and from the specific mechanisms of the nations' governments.
The failure of the public and private worlds to coalesce, therefore, may be in part the fault of an idea of love that does not allow for a social dimension.

Next to each world is an icon showing the world's status and content rating: a grey icon means the world is only open to select users, chosen by the world's caretakers.
If the icon next to the world has a question mark in it, that means the world server is not reporting it's content rating to the universe server.
World servers older than version 3.4 do not report their content rating to the universe server, but will still automatically eject you if your maximum content rating setting is lower than the world's content rating and you attempt to enter the world.

 Scholarly World, Private Worlds --Main Concepts and Synopsis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Examples from geometry show that an axiomatic system that is internally consistent nevertheless may be inappropriate for describing the world, and that its inappropriateness may be hard to detect.
By contrast, worldviews, whether held privately or promoted by social entities, encompass whatever is of concern to the individual or group.
The adequacy of an explanation is a matter of private judgment.

 Fine Arts: Peeking in on private worlds
A snowy winter landscape fills the window, casting the afternoon's white light on the figure, amplifying her white room and sofa.
Harper's subjects exist in a private world, governed by their own individual thoughts and interactions, apart from the outside world and its influences.

Though the chapters are divided based on the periods of her life (her childhood, the reigns of her half-siblings, and her time as queen), the entire book is less a chronological account of Elizabeth's life than a general survey of her era.
From an in-depth discussion of the many portraits of Elizabeth to descriptions of her clothes to an explanation of the relationships she had with her courtiers and with the English people, the book truly encompasses both her public and private worlds.
The Public and Private Worlds of Elizabeth I is filled with lush illustrations.

 The Psychedelic State
Thus, when private hallucinatory experience becomes a topic, there is overwhelming encouragement to conceive and interpret it as evidence of acquired supernatural powers and verification of religious doctrine.
Nevertheless, reports of private experience--which might be thought to be beyond dispute by an outsider--admit a surprising degree of critical testing.
A psychedelic trip occurs in the waking state, and it is a variation on the enduring waking self and the accoutrements of "the" world.

 Bleak House
The ultimate answer is that we are all part of the human family, but in the world of Bleak House, where many labor under the delusion that their lives and destinies are separate from each other, this point must be reiterated through plot, symbolism, parody, and imagery.
Esther is the main connecting point between the public and private worlds but they are connected themetically and rhetorically as well as in this passage from the first chapter: "Innumerable children have been born into the cause; innumerable young people have married into it; innumerable old people have died out of it.
As she explores her world and her discoveries justify her innocence, her commitments to those she loves increase and she leads the reader as far from the influences of the bleak world around her as she can (Sanders, 43).

Whether it be the Torah, the New Testament or the Koran, the Magna Carta or the Declaration of Independence, J’Accuse, Oliver Twist or Catch-22, Common Sense or Silent Spring, the effect of words can reach so many hearts and minds that it impacts the human condition and the course of mankind.
