A) "Society is organized on the principle that any individual who possesses certain social characteristics has a moral right to expect that others will value and treat him in an appropriate way."(Goffman)
I like this quote,and I think it means that someone who has certain social traits,like kindness for example,expect to be treated kindly by others,they feel that's how other people should act.This quote is significant to me because,I always act polite and nice to other people.I feel that you should always be polite to someone even if they don't always act polite back.I guess I feel that if your'e nice to someone,they'll be nice to you too.


B)"Ours is an "informercial" culture in which the desire to sell products and stories continually tries to pass itself off as "helping" and "informing" the public, satisfying their "right to know." We get our deepest philosophies of life from jingles and slogans."(Bordo)
I think this quoute means figuratively speaking,that people are always trying to give advice or try to teach others with demonstrations because maybe they feel good about trying to help or inform someone else about a problem or anything in general.
Literally speaking,people are always try to sell their product so they can make money.
I guess this is significant to me because sometimes other like to try and help with stuff,and teach me things.


C) I think Goffman and Bordo's thoughts are still significant today.Goffan's quote is significant because people still expect others to treat them the way they would want to be treated.Bordo's quote is still significant as well because,everyone is always trying to help or inform others on anything they think they more of.
