The article "Interaction Ritual: Essays on Face-to-Face Behavior" by Erving Goffman explores how people interact in everyday situations. Goffman focuses on the small details like gestures and words that shape our social encounters. He studied interactions in places like casinos to understand how people behave in different settings. Goffman's work shows that social organization is all about how people come together and create temporary social structures. By looking at simple actions like getting on a crowded bus, we can learn a lot about human behavior in daily life.
