In her chapter on Feeling Rules, Arlie Hochschild explores some of the ways that, in encounters with others, feeling rules are signaled and reinforced. Drawing on her discussion of when we know weve encountered a feeling rule, describe in detail an experience (of your own, or that you witnessed) wherein a particular feeling rule was emphasized or reinforced in a public and social setting. How was the rule emphasized, and what was the reaction to the imposition or reinforcement of the feeling rule? And if you feel like it, you might also consider (this part is optional) Goulds notion of emotional habitus in your discussion.
