INSTRUCTIONS:

After reading Chapters  11 and 12 answer the following discussion prompts, citing information using APA citation format. Each prompt should use 275 words in response. Be clear and concise. Prompt 1: Apply exchange theory and rational choice theory to human behavior during a societal crisis, such as the COVID-19 crisis in the United States in 2020. Using these theories, consider these questions: Why do people risk their health to help others? Why do people disobey official orders? What other questions come to mind? Prompt 2: In Goffman’s theory of dramaturgy, are concepts such as front and backstage metaphorical or physical spaces? Can a person have a complete “self” without access to these locations? For example, is a homeless person deprived of a backstage? Is a recluse deprived of a front? Do such people experience an incomplete selfhood?
