Part2 Listening and Note-taking

A Territory

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 their 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 modem terms are known as countries.

Countries have a number of territorial signals. The borders are often guarded by soldiers and

they usually have customs barriers, flags, and signs. Other signals of the tribal territory are

uniforms and national anthems. These signals are important, because 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

else's house. As soon as they come up the driveway or walk through the 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, because 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 house. 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
