Erving Goffman Quotes

At The Same Time, Minor Failings Or Incidental Impropriety May, He Feels, Be Interpreted As A Direct Expression Of His Stigmatized Differentness. Ex-mental Patients, For Example, Are Sometimes Afraid To Engage In Sharp Interchanges With Spouse Or Employer Because Of What A Show Of Emotion Might Be Taken As A Sign Of. Mental Defectives Face A Similar Contingency: It Also Happens That If A Person Of Low Intellectual Ability Gets Into Some Sort Of Trouble The Difficulty Is More Or Less Automatically Attributed To "mental Defect" Whereas If A Person Of "normal Intelligence" Gets Into A Similar Difficulty, It Is Not Regarded As Symptomatic Of Anything In Particular.31
