In Goffman's article " The presentation of Self in Everyday Life", it shows the integration of the world of theater and the human portray. Goffman introduces concept of " dramaturgical framework": performance,setting, manner, appearance, front, and front stage, back stage, off stage, which mostly determines what role people play begins with their appearance. I used to think like that women appear submissive and dependent while men are dominant emotionaless character in the society as the media portrayed. However, In reality, women are not deependpend as mada says theya re and men don have to be emotionless. Goffman states that people are always portraying some roles and that roles we play as much to do with our gender. I agree with this idea.
