Erving Goffman was a famous sociologist who gave the idea that people are like actors in their lives. They play different roles and behave differently in different situations to create a good image in front of others. He called this process impression management.
For example, a child may behave very nicely in school, showing discipline and respect in front of teachers. But when he returns home, his behavior may completely change—he might fight, disobey, or misbehave. This shows that the child has created a positive image on the “front stage” (school), but his “backstage” behavior (at home) reveals a different reality.
In real life, we all try to present our best side. We want others to see us as good, kind, innocent, and helpful—even if we are struggling or thinking differently inside. Goffman’s idea helps us understand how people act in society, and why our behavior changes depending on the place and audience.
This concept is very useful to understand human nature, and it shows that most of us are constantly managing how others see us.
