Explain how humans convey territoriality and their use of territorial markers

What will be an ideal response


Territoriality is the study of space and objects and how people use them to convey occupancy or ownership. People use territorial markers such as placing their things in a particular area, e.g., a book bag on a seat signifies temporary ownership of that seat. The most common form of territorial marker is a lock. Space, traditionally thought of as a physical dimension now links us with cyberspace. An e-mail account, for example, is part of a person's territory, and a password is the territorial marker.
