Identify and briefly explain the three reasons why we should study the connections between people, space, and distance (proxemics).

What will be an ideal response?


First, who we are as people can be revealed by our preferred use of space and distance, so we need to understand how we (and others) use our space. Second, our verbal and nonverbal communication is influenced by distance and space. Different cultures value space and distance differently and this influences how we interact with others. Third, we use metaphors of distance and space to talk about and explain our relationships. In short, our relationships, our power and status, and our cultural backgrounds determine how physically close we are to others and how close we allow others to get to us.
