Hall’s Framework Criticism
Among the many criticism single framework, Lewis’s framework is found to be very favorable in analyzing different people’s cultural and behaviors in society worldwide. It is important to note that Hall’s framework deals with developing dimensions on the theory of proxemics, arguing that human perceptions of space, although derived from sensory apparatus that all humans share, are built and patterned by culture (González et al., 2020). Differing cultural frameworks for defining and organizing space internalized in all people that unconscious level can lead to a serious failure of the communication and understanding the cross-cultural settings. The book talks and gives information about personal space that people from around their bodies and the macro-level sensibilities shaping the expectations of how neighborhood streets and cities ought to be strategically structured.
In Hall’s innovation, he explained the meaning of informal and personal spaces by noting that intimate space is the space that a person has and only allows the closest friends and intimates to access. On the other hand, the social and consultative space is the space by which people feel comfortable while having interactions with acquittances and strangers. Public space is when people perceive interactions as impersonal and relatively anonymous (Hall, 2020). While meeting new people in society, it is important to observe these spaces as they make sense, and through that, one can distinguish between them and know the type of space to use regardless of the environment (Ho et al., 2020). In approaching people as well, there are varied characters of people that are all over the world. This person may look at you and make either good conclusions or bad conclusions. After knowing these, it will be easy to relate and work with the people in the new environment.
