Territory

When we talk about a territory we mean a defended space. Animals have territories，which they mark out with their territorial signals. Human beings have other territorial signals. There are three kinds of human territory，marked by different territorial signals.

Firstly，there are the Tribal Territories，which in modern 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 that，while he is there，he must behave like a visitor.

Secondly，there is the Family Territory，at the center of which is the bedroom. People behave differently when they are in someone else's house. As soon as they cross another's garden gate or walk through the front door，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.

Finally，there is the Personal Territory. In public places people automatically mark out an area of personal spaces. 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 sits. In a crowded space like a train，we can't have much personal territory，so we stand looking straight in front of us with blank faces. We don't look at，or talk to anyone around us.
