Personal Space in a Digital Age by Robert Sommer

Personal space groups are called interactive fields (Widang 3). The main territory includes person's wealth. Someone's home is the center of the territory (Widang 3). Anyone can join the public domain (Widang 3). The space for the individual is called the inner soul (Igarashi, Stud, and Friends 4). If you decide, they just want to do a conversation called Widang 1 in a short time. Children, unlike adults, have to learn how to maintain confidence with the people's place (Innis 1).

If the usual space requirements, such as public transportation and elevators, are not met, the individual space requirements will change accordingly. According to psychologist Robert Sommer, one way to deal with the invading personal space is inhumane. He thinks that in the subway, it is often that many people imagine that many people invaded the private space are inanimate objects. Behavior is another way. People who talk to someone often lead people to move to the place they are thinking about the distance of the conversation and those who are talking can step back one step to regain their own personal space I will.

In most social situations, North Americans need 6 to 8 square feet of comfort per person and any violation of the buffer zone will cause a reaction (Bowen). Robert Sommer, author of the psychologist at the University of California at Davis, "Personal Space" (Bowen's qtd.), Says: But where did the personal space standard come from? According to Sommer, 'comfortable distance of conversation varies from culture.' Because of the high population density in the Mediterranean and Asian countries, their personal space is closer than North American and Scandinavian (Bowen's qtd) . Westerners certainly plan to maintain this standard in the future. In fact, the population of the world is increasing at an alarming rate.
