Week3——LIU RUOHAN

1. Invent a short story which features examples of Giffnan's informant and shill. 

In a busy city, there is a chef named Jack who is a very famous chef.He is famous for his excellent cooking.He loves his job, cooks carefully every day, and is meticulous about his clients' requirements.Because of the high requirements for themselves, in addition to their daily work, they will spend time studying new recipes and have different requirements for the layout of different dishes.Jack wasn't just a great chef in the restaurant, he was part of the entire chef team.In this team, he plays the role of facilitator, supervisor, etc.While cooking, Jack takes the time to lead the team, usually calmly thinking about each dish and analyzing the best solution.Finally, make the food.Jack also plays a friendly role when customers enter the restaurant, patiently asking about customer preferences and trying to do his best.From Goffman's theoretical analysis, Jack plays a lot of roles: he plays the chef in the public eye, and he plays the leader in the chef's team.

2.What's the front of a several jobs?

First, an analysis of the police profession.The profession of the police is mainly in the public eye of police conduct, such as patrolling, directing traffic, handling cases, etc.The specific role of the police profession in social communication is to protect the masses, ensure the safety of the community, and act according to law, these different roles require the police to behave differently in front of the public.Police officers usually show up in uniform on the street or at a police station when they play a role.For the police, things must be done strictly in accordance with the impression management concept in Goffman's theory.Because the police's actions will be too much in the public eye, it is necessary to strictly manage their actions and clothing in order to maintain public trust in themselves.

Second, analyze the profession of journalists.In Goffman's concept, journalists work like performances on stage, and journalists need to demonstrate a high degree of professionalism and objectivity in front of the public.The role that journalists need to play is characterized by the fact that they have to play different roles in different contexts.For example, you need to show the interrogator in an interview, show an objective role in writing an article, and show a neutral and well-organized role in reporting.Journalists demonstrate professionalism in interviewing others and other daily interactions with others, maintaining an image in the public eye.The stage for journalists is usually in public places, news studios, etc., and they usually appear in public view in suits.

Third, analyze the profession of cook.This professional front desk is to show customers enthusiasm, professionalism, technical excellence, so that customers have a good sense of experience, but also take the initiative to interact with customers.The chef is a team, so it needs to be in harmony with other team members, who may play the roles of chef, pastry chef, ingredient preparer, etc., each of which must show a different role.Chefs need to show their creativity in the cooking process, demonstrating their cooking style by making different flavors of food, which can reap customer satisfaction.

3. How should a student act in order for the teacher to think the student is paying attention in class? What to do - and what not to do？

Through Goffman's analysis, students need to show focus and serious role-playing if they want teachers to think students are focused in class.Here's what students need to show: Active interaction with the teacher, through eye contact, can make the teacher think that the student is focused on the class.Answer the teacher's questions positively. When a teacher asks a question, raises a hand to answer it, or discusses it with classmates, it can make the teacher feel the student's participation.Keeping a careful note of the key points in the class can also make the teacher feel the focus of the students.Here are the things students should try not to do: too much communication with others during a teacher's lecture, sleeping, using non-classroom equipment, and these behaviors can indicate that students are not paying attention to class.

 The social life of small urban space is mainly analyzed by the following points.
