It is therefore important that its many contributions are recognized in any research concerning identity management. Goffman's book includes six essays, the first of which explores the presentation of a communicator's self while engaged in communications with other individuals. He explained that the self-image that is portrayed during interactions is not set in stone and yet has a great impact of social identification. The identity that the communicator acquires in a social environment is therefore destined to bear fruit in the future. “Society is organized on the principle that every individual who possesses certain social characteristics has the moral right to expect others to value and treat him appropriately.” (Goffman) There are complications in changing the self presented in a social context, as this can change one's perception of how one feels about oneself as a person. What Goffman was trying to imply was that sometimes it is wiser to refrain from excessive self-disclosure in a social context as others may view it in an unpleasant manner.
