Fieldwork Excursion #2
Activity #1: Impression Management in Action
Step #1: For activity one of the fieldwork excursion we were to choose two different situations that we encounter in our everyday life and observe ourselves throughout these situations. The two situations I chose to observe myself at, was my volleyball practice and in my organic chemistry class. I chose these two specifically because I know my observations of my self would be vastly different in these scenarios.
Step #2:
For each situation I would say I put up a different front. At my volleyball practice I put on a more athletic and competitive front. Whereas in organic chemistry class I put on a more studious front and really focus on learning the material. I would …show more content…

I would assume those would be the everyday norms of a Panera employee. A few norms the customer would have to be having someone take their order and receiving what they wanted in a timely matter. I think that is the norm that every customer expects when they go into a fast food
