Week Three Post: Lecture#3

In reading the week three lecture, the most interesting section to me was on chapter eight, defending the self. In this section, it discusses ways that people try to protect the way other people perceive them. A lot of people will say things about how they don't care what people think and some mean it, most don't. There are many different parts to impression management, that includes accounts, facework, and equivocation. Accounts are excuses or justifications made to paron yourself from poor behavoir. Facework is a strategy people use to present themselves to others, such as looking a certain way, or like a certain type of person. Equivocation involves working with others to present yourself a certain way.
