Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concept of front stage and back stage was introduced by sociologist Erving Goffman, who used a theater metaphor to analyze social interactions. The front stage is where individuals are aware of their audience and thus behave in a more socially acceptable manner. In this case, the classroom is the front stage where most students behave differently as compared to their own room or with friends.
