Four Components Of Erving Goffman's Dramaturgical Theory

According to the handout from lecture, the corrective process contains four major components (SOC 150 Lecture). The four major components the challenge of the face, making an offer, acceptance of an offer, and if there is an acknowledgement of acceptance (SOC Lecture 150). I made a mistake in my second post, I realized that the corrective process was not created Erving Goffman.
