This is known as a Master Status. which is when you consider the status as a part of your identity.

- Jeremy has just violated a "Social Norm" on his way to work. A social norm is a generally accepted standard of doing something. When walking on the sidewalk, you dont want to bump into someone.

- Dramaturgical Analysis is the idea that everyone is actively engaging in role-playing. Where theres a "front" and "back" stage. In the previous scene, Jeremy was in the front stage. He wanted to look good and said he would help his co-worker and re-read his paper. But now that he is alone and in the back stage, he is judging his co-worker's paper, but he wont tell his co-worker that he's a bad writer. This example is common and happens everyday in life.
- Scene 4: Dramaturgical Analysis
- Hmm.. This sentence sounds right to me...Ugh, I know I said I would help him, but he is such a bad writer!
- Jeremy is geting yelled at by his boss for not meeting his boss's expectations for a Newsletter. Jeremy's boss can get away with yelling at him due to the boss's power and position. Since the boss has more power than Jeremy. He can get away with this extreme example known as Domination. Domination is when nearly all power is in one persons hand (the boss in this case) and the other person has little to no power(Jeremy).

- I don't know sir...
- WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?
- Jeremy waits until he gets home to cry after getting yelled at by his boss. This is known as Emotion Management. Emotion Management is when someone must control their emotions when they need to.

Jeremy isn't very good at Emotion Management or Emotion Labour, but he was able to hold in his tears until he got home to where he felt comfortable enough to cry.
