In your first argument, you will make a claim about who is showing deference to whom in an interaction between waitstaff and customer (that is, you or your party). You will then use that argument about who is showing deference to argue which approach (Mead, Goffman, or Hochschild) makes more sense in understanding why that person or people are showing deference in that situation. How to Collect Your Data For this assignment, you will need to go to a restaurant or diner in which you are seated and served by a waiter or waitress. I am not asking you to spend a lot of money on a meal; you may get a cup of coffee and a piece of pie at a diner if you wish. However, there is a requirement that you be seated and served at this eating establishment; this may not be take-out or self-service. For those of you who work as waiters or waitresses, for the purposes of this assignment, you will need to be a customer, as it will give you a better chance to observe than your employment duties would allow. You may go with friends or family or you may go alone. As usual in the papers for this class, you should treat yourself as one of the participants. The interaction you should observe is that between the waitstaff and you (or you and your party), not the waitstaffs interaction with another party seated nearby. You will want to take notes soon after the outing to remember the details that will support your arguments, noting down key actions and statements that were made. How to Organize Your Paper Argument Paragraph You should have two related arguments answering two questions: Who showed deference to whom? and why did they show deference? In this paragraph, you should remind the reader of Goffmans definition of deference, summarize the arguments of Mead, Goffman, and Hochschild about why people show deference, and state which theoretical approach best explains why that person or people showed deference in that situation. If you find that someone is not showing deference or even engaging in ritual profanation, to use Goffmans term, that behavior should be analyzed instead of the question above. You will want to observe how others respond to these actions. Description Paragraph Here, you want to describe the restaurant and the participants briefly to orient the reader, before engaging in your analysis and proof of your argument: Who is present and what is their relationship to one another and to the activity? What was the physical environment? What kind of restaurant is this? What was the emotional mood or atmosphere? Analysis of Deference Behavior Then, you want to provide the proof by which you determined who was showing deference to whom. You will want to marshal your evidence by which you made your interpretation, drawing on the details of participants actions and words (including your own). You will want to consider avoidance and presentational rituals and symmetrical and asymmetrical forms as different ways that deference may be visible in the interaction. If you have not done so already in your argument, you will want to define any sociological terms that you use. Analysis of why there is deference behavior In this section of the paper, you will want to answer the question: Why was a person (or people) showing deference to another? Which theoretical approachthat of George Herbert Mead, Erving Goffman, or Arlie Russell Hochschildprovides the best explanation for why the people in this situation are deferential? Here, you will want to connect back to the details that you observed, but also engage with the readings. Conclusion In your conclusion, you should restate your arguments, using different words, about who showed deference to whom and why. How I Will Evaluate Your Paper For this paper, you need to demonstrate to me that you understand the concepts about deference that Goffman provides and the theoretical approaches of George Herbert Mead, Erving Goffman, and Arlie Russell Hochschild. Quote or cite them when you need to; that is, when you are drawing on their ideas. I strongly recommend that you re-read their work before writing this paper. If you have questions or confusions about these ideas, please see me, preferably not at the last minute. If you do not discuss them at all, you will receive no better than a C- on the paper. Please review the guidelines for papers and the citation guidelines in the syllabus. I will take off a letter grade if you fail to use proper APA citation format (for example, from an A to an A-). Your grade will be dependent on (in this order of importance): your understanding of the various theoretical approaches; clearly stated arguments around which you organize the paper; the extent to which you are persuasive in your argument by providing detailed proof that describes the actual words and actions of participants (including yourself); and the clarity and organization of your paper. A draft of the paper is due Friday, March 29th (worth 1% of your grade), to be read and discussed in class in pairs. Please bring two copies: one to turn in and one to share with your partner (on which you may want to write notes, corrections, etc, that you will take home with you). The draft will be graded on completeness, rather than quality. In general, it is a good idea to have a draft completed a week before a paper is due. The paper itself is due Monday, April 8th (10%) at the beginning of class. As usual, come prepared to discuss what you found. Outline First argument: Who is showing deference to whom? Proof: Provide three details about behavior/actions/speech which illustrate how this person is showing deference, in your opinion (if more than one person is showing deference, you will want to provide three details for each person). Consider presentational and avoidance rituals, and symmetrical and asymmetrical forms of deference. 1. 2. 3. In thinking about your second argument, you will want to consider the following questions (and perhaps others not mentioned but which you consider significant): When an individual becomes involved in the maintenance of a rule, he tends also to become committed to a particular image of self (Goffman, 1956, p. 474). To what kind of self are participants becoming committed through their maintaining certain rules of behavior in this situation? Based on your observation and analysis, do you agree or disagree that the self is a ceremonial thing, a sacred object which must be treated with proper ritual care and in turn must be presented in a proper light to others (Goffman, 1956, p. 497)? Why or why not? Following Meads concerns with the mind and self-reflection, are you holding in your mind a sense of how others in the situation will react, how they will act towards you, and how they might see you and your actions? To what extent is the awareness of other peoples reactions guiding your own behavior? How do you anticipate people might respond to ritual profanation? How do you anticipate people might respond to deference? Following Mead, to what extent are you and the waitstaff cooperating in the situation, following a set of rules of which all of you seem aware, as if you were in a game? Following Hochschild, what are the expectations regarding a workers presentation of feelings and self in a restaurant? Does a customer have to make a similar presentation of feelings and the self? Why or why not? After considering these questions, decide: Second argument: Why is this person (or these people) showing deference to another? Which approachMead, Goffman, Hochschildbest explains this behavior? Proof. Give three reasons why this theoretical approach makes the most sense of your observation. 1. 2. 3. %34W[b  @ R _   ! ) ; P U V ?YZcĹĮĮČāāāāāĮāČģshAhN6CJ]aJhAhHCJaJhAhtRCJaJhAh 1B6CJaJhAh<CJaJhAh 1BCJaJhAh3YCJaJhAhNCJaJhAhN5CJ\aJhAhNCJaJmH sH %jhAhNCJUaJmH sH *&35  _ ` >?ZmL & F ) p@ P !>TTfgdNgdN gd3Y$a$gdNclmlX_wx @Bt"θ٪ٞٗ~sssθldlhAh 1B6 hAh 1BhAhCVJCJaJhAh<CJaJhAh 1B6CJ]aJ hAhHhAhH5CJaJhAh<6CJ]aJhAhtRCJaJhAh 1BCJaJhAhNCJaJhAhHCJaJhAhN6CJ]aJhAhH6CJ]aJ'LwxAB& & F ) p@ P !0^`0gdHdgdHgdHL & F ) p@ P !>TTfgdNuuO$$ & F ) p@ P !>TTfgdN ) p@ P !^gd 1B ) p@ P !gd 1B"*,3?\>[%GM{ a(iĹīĠĠĠĠĹĕĕy hAh[ hAhCVJ hAhH hAh3hAhtRCJaJhAh3CJaJhAhN5CJ\aJhAh<CJaJhAhNCJaJhAhN6CJ]aJ hAhtR hAh< hAh 1B hAhN hAhN/&bc)*i& & F ) p@ P !0^`0gdNL & F ) p@ P !>TTfgdN ,/46E’sg\P\hAhuJ6CJaJhAh<CJaJhAh36CJaJhAh<6CJaJhAh3CJaJhSCJaJhShS5CJH*aJhAh35CJaJhAhTTfgdtREpIM}: e"f"""""""#f#|##$$$&$$$$$$9%%%%%%^&`&e&l&q&&&&&ƿƿƿƸƿƿ߬߬ߡhAhACJaJhAh<6CJaJ hAhCVJ hAhtR hAh3 hAh<hAhtRCJaJhAh<CJaJhAhCVJCJaJhAh3CJaJ4; < Z![!e"f"gd3& & F ) p@ P !0^`0gd3 ) p@ P !^gd3gd3f"$$$$%%%_&`&a&b&c&d&e&&gd3L & F ) p@ P !>TTfgd3gd3& & F ) p@ P !0^`0gd3&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&gd3,1h/ =!"#$% ^ 666666666vvvvvvvvv666666>6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hH6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666662 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~_HmH nH sH tH B`B NNormal 7$8$H$_HmH sH tH DA D Default Paragraph FontViV  Table Normal :V 44 la (k (No List ToT NLevel 17$8$H$^CJ_HaJmH sH tH HH N Balloon TextCJOJQJ^JaJ@@@  1B List Paragraph ^< "<tR0Revision_HmH sH tH PK![Content_Types].xmlj0Eжr(΢Iw},-j4 wP-t#bΙ{UTU^hd}㨫)*1P' ^W0)T9<l#$yi};~@(Hu* Dנz/0ǰ $ X3aZ,D0j~3߶b~i>3\`?/[G\!-Rk.sԻ..a濭?PK!֧6 _rels/.relsj0 }Q%v/C/}(h"O = C?hv=Ʌ%[xp{۵_Pѣ<1H0ORBdJE4b$q_6LR7`0̞O,En7Lib/SeеPK!kytheme/theme/themeManager.xml M @}w7c(EbˮCAǠҟ7՛K Y, e.|,H,lxɴIsQ}#Ր ֵ+!,^$j=GW)E+& 8PK!Ptheme/theme/theme1.xmlYOo6w toc'vuر-MniP@I}úama[إ4:lЯGRX^6؊>$ !)O^rC$y@/yH*񄴽)޵߻UDb`}"qۋJחX^)I`nEp)liV[]1M<OP6r=zgbIguSebORD۫qu gZo~ٺlAplxpT0+[}`jzAV2Fi@qv֬5\|ʜ̭NleXdsjcs7f W+Ն7`g ȘJj|h(KD- dXiJ؇(x$( :;˹!
