B. Listen to a talk about territory. Take notes and complete the following outline.
When we talk about a territory, we mean a defended space. Animals have their territories, which they mark out with their personal scent. The scent is theiroverhead cost territorial signal. Human beings have other territorial signals. There are three kinds of human territory, marked by different territorial signals.
First, there are the Tribal Territories, which in modern terms are known as countries. Countries have a number of territorial signals. The borders are oftenbarenaked ladies guarded by soldiers and they usually have customs barriers, flags, and signs. Other signals of the tribal territory are uniforms and national anthems. The signals are important, becau they warn the visitor that he is entering a foreign country and, while he is there, he must behave like a visitor.
Second, there is the Family Territory, at the center of which is the bedroom. This is usually as far away as possible from the front door. Between the bedroom and the front door are the spaces where visitors are allowed to enter. People behave differently when they’re in someone el’s hou. As soon as they come up the driveway or walk through t
he front door — the first signals of family territory — they are in an area which does not belong to them. They do not feel at home, becau it is full of other people’s belongings — from the flowers in the garden to the chairs, tables, carpets, ornaments, and other things in the hou. In the same way, when a family goes to the beach or to the park for a picnic, they mark out a small territory with towels, baskets, and other belongings; other families respect this, and try not to sit down right beside them.
Finally, there is the Personal Territory. In public places, people automatically mark out an area of personal space. If a man enters a waiting room and sits at one end of a row of chairs, it is possible to predict where the next man will sit. It won’t be next to him or at the other end of the room, but halfway between. In a crowded space like a train, we can’t have much personal territory, so we stand looking straight in front of us with blank faces. We don’t look at or talk to anyone around us.
