Goffman’s Dramaturgical Model
We are all actors performing roles in society.
We adjust our performance based on our audience's expectations.
Emphasizes the importance of self-presentation and role-playing.
Social behavior is influenced by how we believe others perceive us.
Criticisms:
Reduces human behavior to mere performance, ignoring deeper motivations or
emotions.
Fails to address power relations in social interactions.
Overfocuses on the role of self-presentation and doesn't account for genuine emotions
or identity.
