DAY 1937: What do you think personal space is and how do you measure it? And why are we so territorial about it? According to Etiquette Rules of Defining Personal Space By Debby Mayne, personal space is defined as the "physical distance between two people"3. There are several factors that determine this, such as the gender of the individuals interacting or the culture/country the individuals are from. Personal space is different from territory because personal space has more to do with social interactions than with the territory an individual claims. One thing we need to remember, when socializing with other people, is that we are living in a multicultural society that is become more diverse in its social interactions. We need to be considerate of the personal space of other individuals, as well as our own.
DAY 2332: Use these words: April, promises, weather, holiday, hope, faith, and light. April weather is fickle because on a holiday outing it can leave you in a pickle, when its morning promises of clear and sunny becomes an afternoon of thunder and rainy. Don't put your faith in April's weather, just grab a light jacket and an umbrella, and hope for the best. Footnotes |
