So who's stuff goes where and why?
Many, if not most young professionals today live with others their same age in a family home or apartment. These living situations are unique opportunities to look at behavioral marking patters. as a group, this population has limited control over their environment. most of us pay to much for too little to live away from home. For some though these shared dwellings are home. I would like to look at how it is different for this group than for people who still maintain a home base elsewhere. Are the marking patterns different? are different levels of privacy required? how about the levels of ownership?
Many different stories may emerge and my main goal is to identify an array of factors that are at play in these unique environments.
I think that many of the readings Will be helpful in a variety of ways. I think that the chapters from Lang will be the most supportive. These chapters have been very helpful for me in deconstructing personal space. The need to mark or change the environment is very interesting to me and i think i will enjoy it.
