Answer:
The Presentation of Self in Contemporary Social Life covers the popular theories of Erving Goffman, and shows modern applications of dramaturgical analysis in a wide range of social contexts. David Shulman’s innovative new text demonstrates how Goffman’s ideas, first introduced in 1959, continue to inspire research into how we manage the impressions that others form about us. He synthesizes the work of contemporary scholars who use dramaturgical approaches from several disciplines, who recognize that many values, social norms, and laws have changed since Goffman’s time, and that contemporary society offers significant new forms of impression management that we can engage in and experience. After a general introduction to dramaturgical sociology, readers will see many examples of how Goffman’s ideas can provide powerful insights into familiar aspects of contemporary life today, including business and the workplace, popular culture, the entertainment industry, and the digital world.
Explanation:
As an anthropologist, at parties, I can pay attention to the evolution of the people because there I can see both the younger and older generation.
The new generation of young people, as I can see, is having different clothes and their clothes is usually something that is attracting attention. They always have their phones with them and usually, those are big phones and they are filming everything. I have a feeling that the older generations are more likely to enjoy the party or some other event than the younger ones. The older generation of people are usually talking or dancing with someone and I did not see some of them with their phone or text messages.
The younger generation is considering the older ones as weird people but I think that within fifteen years, they will be the on who will be considered weird also because of the evolution and changes that people are always going through
