    In the The Presentation of Self In Everyday Life Goffman seeks to show the reader how everyone sets out to present themselves to the world around them‚ always trying to maintain the role they have selected for themselves‚ since those whom they meet not only try to decide what role it is you are playing‚ but also whether or not you are competent to play that role. More significantly‚ impression management is a function of social setting. Erving Goffman portrays everyday interactions as strategic encounters

    Erving Goffman. The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life Review by J R Erving Goffman has completed a wonderful presentation of human behaviour and face-to-face interactions‚ of a first meeting between two people‚ who may or may not have an audience. The use of a theatrical performance to explain the interaction was indeed an ingenious idea that kept me intrigued until the very end. This book was written in 1959 but its referencing to human behaviour is still very much relevant to today’s life

    Erving Goffman is hailed by many as ‘one of the twentieth century’s most remarkable practitioners of social science’ (Smith‚ 2006:1). Smith goes on to further remark that Goffman‘s work is ‘enough to signify not only a subject matter but also a highly distinctive attitude and analytic stance toward the social world’ (Smith‚ 2006:1). This claim is perhaps justified when noting the alternative direction Goffman headed in his development of sociological theory in comparison to the founding fathers
