Before several weeks, I watched a very interesting social experiment video on YouTube.
A tester who walked on street pretended very hungry and asked random strangers for a piece of pizza to those who were eating pizza. Those strangers’ reactions were kind of same; they said that they were hungry too and could not share any their piece of pizza to the asker. After that, the tester found a homeless person who wearily sat on ground, and gave some piece of pizza to him. Twenty minutes later, another tester sat next to him and asked a piece of pizza. Something surprising began happening: the homeless person accepted and allowed the tester to take pizza without hesitation. Several second later, the tester said appreciated what the homeless …show more content…
According to Crossman (n. d.), there is a famous ethnomethodology experiment. Some college students were required to pretend that they were guests in their own housings without tell their parents and asked to be polite and using formal address, such as Mr. and Mrs. After the experiment over, those students’ feedbacks that come from their parents are very interesting. For example, some students’ parents deem it was a joke; another family deemed that their daughter might want them to buy something for her (Crossman, n, d.).

Both of experiment obviously are the same but object. Thus, we can use ethnomethodology to do breaching …show more content…
Thus, I intended to carry out a breaching experiment that is say “you are so beautiful” to random people in the campus and see how they respond to me and the difference between male’s reaction and female’s reaction. On the afternoon of one Tuesday in July 12, 2016, I was performing the beaching experiment on court street and in Alden library in the campus of Ohio University, and in July 14, 2016 at college green in Ohio University. That was a sunny, hot day on Tuesday, I was standing in front of the entrance door of second floor in Alden library. Because a number of students did not want to study in Summer semester, I deemed where I stood was an appropriate place to meet with many people in a short time. During the twenty minutes, I met more than 25 people, there are American students, international students, elder teachers. Because I focus on the gender concept, the responses that are from different people who come from diverse backgrounds can be
