You enter an elevator with one other person. Instead of briefly acknowledging you and then looking away, the person stands unusually close, maintains continuous eye contact, and asks, “Why aren’t you looking at me?” When you answer, the person repeatedly demands that you explain exactly what you mean by ordinary phrases such as “I’m fine” or “Just heading to class.”Explain why this interaction would probably feel uncomfortable even though the person has not broken any written rule or law. Use our authors’ treatment of everyday interaction to analyze what is happening and why the behavior produces that reaction.⚠️ Reminder: This Learning Evaluation is CLOSED-BOOK, CLOSED-NOTE, and CLOSED-INTERNET.
