E.T. Hall

Edward T. Hall was an anthropologist known for studying how people perceive and use space in communication and daily life. He introduced concepts like *proxemics*, which examines personal space and social distance, revealing how cultural differences influence comfort levels and interactions. For example, some cultures prefer close proximity, while others value more personal space. Hall’s work helps us understand non-verbal cues, spatial behavior, and cultural variation, improving cross-cultural communication and social awareness. His insights are widely used in fields like anthropology, psychology, and international relations to better understand human behavior in social settings.
