Which characteristics of others shaped your impression of them? Social group membership (sex, race, ethnicity, class, others)? Physical appearance (dress, hairstyle, jewelry, height, attractiveness)? Verbal and nonverbal expression (movement, postures, gestures)?

Appearance plays a major role in determining the first impression. When we first meet other people, we usually don't have information about them, so we reflect what we see in our impressions. We judge people by their gender, race, as well as their clothes, hairstyles, makeup, etc.

However, this impression can be changed enough with just a short conversation with them. In the process of communication, good impressions and bad impressions are divided by their speech, gestures, and reactions. It's because most people feel that this person can get along with me by mixing a word.

If we get to know their social relationships later on, it can help us understand their impressions. (Through their social status, jobs, family relationships, etc.)

Imagine you and your family are throwing a party for your family friends in your house. What are the stages?

 I think the stage is 'back'.  In this situation, I'll only invite the friendly friends in my house, so, the people who in the party going to be most close friend to me. With close friends we talk about anything, like hating person, talking about crush in somebody or even the physiological phenomenon. And the home. Home is one of the most comfortable place that I can relax my body and my mind. And also, nobody can hear what we say. This is why people love to be at home.   However, we can't talk about this I the public places that everyone can hear this. Because it is embarrassing.  In this case(house party with family and friends), we can do anything that we didn't do outside. So, I think the stage is 'back'.

W4. Extra ) the Interaction Assignment

  I had an Interaction Assignment activity with my companion and observed the responses of pedestrians on the road. Through the observations and reflections of Goffman's theory, we find that "no matter what the specific goal an individual has in his mind or what the motivation for achieving it, his interest is always to control the behavior of others, especially the reactions of others to him."This control will be achieved primarily by a restriction that affects others gradually, and he can express himself in some way by giving others an impression that he will lead others to act on their own will."This is what we call impression management. The process of human communication is the process in which people perform "self", but this "self" is not the real self, but the "self" dressed up in symbolic disguise.

What's the front of a TV idol?

I think TV idol has very different image in front and back stage. Many of them can't show their difficulty or tiredness in front of the camera, because of the image. Many people call that 'professionalism'. Like dancing in the rain in the concert or on the TV show regard of health problem. Also, they have to be on makeup or wear a fancy clothes all the time in front of the camera or in the show. They can be shoot anytime.  Normal people don't do like this. Most people are rest in their home when they are tired or have a health issues. And not everyone be on a makeup all the time. Because everyone don't mind about them. But TV idols are different. They have to be perfect in front of the camera. So, I think the front stage of TV idols is all the time when they are in front of the cameras.
