Final Answer :
In dramaturgy, a specific social setting or region provides a context for the types of props, mannerisms, and demeanor that are socially acceptable in that setting. For example, a female student would not come to class wearing a bikini, but she is free to wear one while swimming or at the beach. Similarly, she would probably not take a computer or textbook to the pool.
