Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Answer and explanation
According to Goffman, everyone has a fragile self that is vulnerable to embarrassment and humiliation. In order limit that vulnerability, people try to manage the impression that others have of them. This can be a conscious effort, such as dressing formally for a work event or subconscious, when slipping into casual slang and dress when among friends. It is often seen in social media posts, when people create images of their lives that are not consistent with reality.
