Face-work is the way people work together in a social situation that can either boost or lower different parts of a person 's social interactions.

This action is due to the fact that the body has a natural reaction to people and is trying to procreate with people that would help them keep their lineage going. This is also based on the hierarchy idea of both status and race and how one race might be seen as more desirable in some people 's eyes. Even with their data of people segregating from others, there is still a rise in interracial relationships, which is a good thing in life as it allows for better genetics and stronger people. This article only really relates to one person who is Ms. Mayard who is a black woman who is finding it hard to find matches that she can pick as she can not find someone interesting for her to possibly talk to.
