Then add the numbers across the rows and record the sum. The institution with the highest sum is designated to have the greatest in importance for guiding behavior.

Dramaturgy: The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life Symbolic Interactionism is a social theory that focuses on the analysis of the patterns of communication, interpretation and adjustment between individuals. The theory is a framework for understanding how individuals interact with each other and within society through the meanings of symbols. Both the verbal and nonverbal responses that a listener then delivers are similarly constructed in expectation of how the original speaker will react. Add a case study or class simulation to encourage discussion and apply lessons.

Dramaturgy: The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life Dramaturgy [Erving Goffman] is a sociological perspective starting from symbolic interactionism, and commonly used in microsociological accounts of social interaction in everyday Impression Management is a goal-directed conscious or unconscious process in which people attempt to influence the perceptions of other people about a person, object or event; they do so by regulating and controlling information in social interaction Add a case study or class simulation to encourage discussion and apply lessons.

Front Stage is where the actor formally performs and adheres to conventions that have meaning to the audience. Back Stage is where performers are present but audience is not, and the performers can step out of character without fear of disrupting the performance. It is where facts suppressed in the front stage or various kinds of informal actions may appear. The back stage is completely separate from the front stage. Add a case study or class simulation to encourage discussion and apply lessons.

The roles can be divided into three groups and include: Role Performance – There are three basic roles, each centered on who has access to what information. Audiences know only what the performers disclosed. The roles can be divided into three groups and include: Roles dealing with manipulation information and team borders. Roles dealing with facilitating interactions between two other teams. Roles that mix front and back region up. Add a case study or class simulation to encourage discussion and apply lessons.

Role strain or "role pressure" may arise when there is a conflict in the demands of roles, when an individual does not agree with the assessment of others concerning his or her performance in his or her role, or from accepting roles that are beyond an individual's capacity. At the same time, a person may have limited power to negotiate away from accepting roles that cause strain, because he or she is constrained by societal norms, or has limited social status from which to bargain. Add a case study or class simulation to encourage discussion and apply lessons.

Discuss outcomes of the case study or class simulation. Cover best practices.
