The social world is a stage, and we are all performers. In every interaction, we are engaged in a performance. The point of the performance is to get social support and validation for one of our many role identities. Keeping this in mind will help you make sense of your own and other people's behavior.
This video begins to introduce the basic sociological concepts of impression management, presentation of self, and symbolic interactionism. All of these ideas are fundamental to understanding the theories of the famous sociologist Erving Goffman.

(I messed up the Shakespeare quote because I couldn't read my own handwriting. The correct quote is, "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages." It's from As You Like It, Act II, Scene VII.)
Key words: sociology, impression management, dramaturgy.
