The concept of "front regions" in Erving Goffman's theory of dramaturgy refers to the settings where individuals' performances are designed to conform to societal expectations and portray a desired self-image. In this scenario, the professor's professional behavior during a lecture is an example of front region behavior. Breaching refers to intentionally breaking social norms to observe reactions, master statuses are key defining characteristics of an individual, interactional vandalism involves intentionally undermining someone's performance, and back regions are private settings where individuals can drop their performance and be themselves.
