Blog 2- Expectancy Violation

In this blog I am going to go in depth in Expectancy Violation communication theory.  Expectancy Violations can help or hinder communication. For example, someone with higher power over you such as your boss, you would not expect your boss to invade your personal space, curse you out or even act like they are a worker. That is not a norm, Naturally a boss or manager sets a standard of power division, For example your at a job interview, and the interviewer starts to invade your personal space and ask you personal questions? How do you react? most people do not how would they react because that is not a norm of behavior of a interviewer. Another example of  Expectancy Violation is in the movie Bad Grandpa, there is a scene were the little boy is enter into a  pageant for little girls. Not only that, but the little boy starts stripping of his clothes as if he was at a strip club and the Grandpa starts throwing money on the little boy at the pageant as if he were at a stripper. Behavior like that is not expected at an pageant, even worse that the behavior was at a little kids pageant.      


Below is a example of  Expectancy Violation communication theory in the movie  Bad Grandpa
