Explain face and facework, and how preventative facework and corrective facework apply to interpersonal communication
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Face is a person's positive perception of himself or herself in interactions with others. Facework is using communication to maintain your own positive self-image and to seek approval of your face; you are also engaged in facework when you support, reinforce, or challenge someone else's face (or self-perception). Preventative facework is an effort to maintain and enhance one's positive self-perceptions. Corrective facework is an effort to remedy what one perceives as a negative perception of oneself on the part of others.
