From a sociological standpoint, much of our social interactions can be understood by
comparing it to a performance in a play. From this perspective, describe what is meant
by dramaturgy and by impression management. Including how they compare to each
other. In addition, apply the theory of Ethnomethodology to both concepts as well as
how the theory best applies? Please be detailed in your discussion.

provide support for your premises. Do your best to avoid vagueness and ambiguity.
