Trenholm and Jensen discuss Communication as Performance through the use of Dr. Irving Goffman's ideas of face, face-work, line, front stage, back region (backstage), and role sets - among other concepts. In your post, discuss a time when you did not act "in line" with your position on the social map. A thoughtful response would likely include the following content:

1. What social position expectations (role) were you trying to fulfill? What aspects of the front stage (setting, personal front) were at play here?

2. In what way did you not act "in line" with that position? Why was this considered not "in line"?

3. What happened when you did not act "in line"? Ex. Were you rejected from that position? Did you experience social repercussions? Did you engage in face-work or take a different line to manage the "not in line" behavior?

4. After this occurred, did you retreat to a back region/backstage? Was that back region physical or psychological? If you did not, what happened after this occurred?
