Dramaturgy in Daily Life of Tour Guide Introduction In life there is so many things that we should do. We lived in society and it has many expectations through us. Everyday we lived in some different societies, we should place ourselves sometimes as a students, a family, friends, someone’s parter, teacher, or anything else. And we should do our best in everythings because they have expectations that we should complete so that society will accept us. This thing, based on Erving Goffman theory, called as theory of Dramaturgy. Erving Goffman states that social life is like a drama show, and every human has its own plot and role as an actors. Goffman also stated that in the drama show there is a stage that is divided into two, the front stage and the back stage. These two stages have different functions. First is the front stage, the place that we use everyday in front of society. Second is the back stage, this stage is the place that we can use to reveal ourself when we alone. (Editors, 2017) Sometimes in life there are several things that we do not want other people know, and “the back stage” is a perfect place to hide it. Basically we don’t have to acting when we are in back stage. In social interactions, each person can apply theory of Dramaturgy in the middle of society. This means that everyone can decide which role should they use based on the situation itself. When each person already took their role, they can meet, mingle and have an interactions.
