Visit a local mall or a similar public place where large numbers of people congregate for a variety of reasons. Make a
chart that lists Hall’s “distance zones” from chapter 4 of your text. Wander around for an hour or so to observe human
interaction. List the interactions observed under the proper distance zones.

not mere numbers or general definitions of distance zones.

4. Which were the least represented? Why?
Provide as many details as possible in your report and analysis.
