backgroundPersonal Distance People surround themselves with a“bubble”of personal space that they claim as their own,and they tend to become stressed when other people invade their“bubble.”Our personal space protects us from too much arousal and helps us feel comfortablehomeText analysis Structural analysisSection Two:Global ReadingSection Three:Detailed ReadingSection One:Pre-reading Activities Section Four:Consolidation Activities Section Five:Further EnhancementSpace InvadersCultural backgroundwhen we communicate with other people.When two people are talking to each other,they tend to stand a specific distance apart.Each person has an invisible boundary around his body into which other people may not come.If someone pierces this boundary,he will feel uncomfortable and move away to increase the distance between them.(The major exception is family members and other loved ones.)This personal distance is not due to body odor or bad breath,but because closeness lends a sense of intimacy that is at odds with their relationship to the other individual.Interestingly,the average personal distance varies from culture to culture.Take American culture as an example.Americans tend to require more personal space than in other cultures.So if you try to get too close to an American during your conversation,he or shehomeText analysis Structural analysisSection Two:Global

their face”and will try to back away.Try to be aware of this,so if the person to whom you are speaking backs away a little,dont try to close the gap.Also,try to avoid physical contact while you are speaking,since this may also lead to discomfort.Touching is a bit too intimate for casual acquaintances.So dont put your arm around their shoulders,touch their face,or hold their hand.Shaking hands when you initially meet or part is acceptable,but this is only momentary.home Section Two:Global ReadingSection Three:Detailed ReadingAt my bank the other day,I was standing in a line snaking around
