Unwanted invasion - territory and personal space

Many books have been written about how animals, birds, fish and primates mark and protect their own territory, but only in recent years it has been discovered that man has his own territory. By understanding this concept, you can better understand your own behavior and correctly guess the reaction of other people. American anthropologist Edward Hall was one of the first scientists who paid attention to the spatial needs of man. In the early 60s, he coined the term “proxies”, from the word “proximity”, that is, “proximity”. Hall's research helped to take a fresh look at relationships between people.
Each country has its own territory with clearly defined borders that protect the armed forces. Within each country there are smaller territories - states, counties, republics. Inside these smaller territories there are even smaller entities - cities and villages, which, in turn, are divided into districts, streets and houses. In cinemas very often there is a silent fight with neighbors over the armrest of a chair. Residents of each territory treat it as their property, and are ready to lay down their lives for its protection.
Territory is an area of ​​space around a person, which he perceives as his own, as an extension of his own body. Each of us has a personal territory that surrounds not only our body, but also property. Private territory surrounds the house, car, room, even your own chair.
In this section, we will talk mainly about the personal area surrounding the human body, how people react to the invasion, and how important it is to stay away from certain people “at arm's length”.
