\"R.<\/p>\n

A New York jury has found R&B superstar R. Kelly guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking<\/a>. He faces a sentence of ten years to life in prison. For years, Kelly was a powerhouse in the music industry, creating the hit song \u201cI Believe I Can Fly,\u201d which dominated the airways in the 1990s. Sadly, Kelly\u2019s musical success hid his disturbing personal life. Rumors and allegations about Kelly\u2019s criminal behavior<\/a> have been circulating since the 1990s. While this blog will not address the details of his crimes, a broad application of sociology to Kelly\u2019s life offers us an opportunity to review concepts associated with social interaction,<\/strong> interpersonal relationships between two or more persons<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Erving Goffman\u2019s work on dramaturgy is a fitting place to start our analysis. Specifically, dramaturgy<\/strong> is the theory that we are all actors on the stage of life, and as such, we divide our world based on what we let others see and don\u2019t see of us<\/em>. The three parts of dramaturgy include front stage, back stage, and impression management. The front stage<\/strong> is a person’s public life that they reveal to the world<\/em>. On the other hand, the back stage<\/strong> is a person’s private world that they choose not to reveal<\/em>. In the case of R. Kelly, his victims\u2019 testimonies about the extreme difference between his front and back stage personas bring up images of the characters in Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel \u201cThe Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.\u201d The coercion and threats used by Kelly to manipulate his victims were all part of his approach to impression management<\/strong>, an effort to control the impression others have of us<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Kelly\u2019s achieved status<\/strong>, earned social status based upon merit<\/em>, in the music industry was the Teflon that kept accusations about him at bay for years. At his peak, he had an estimated net worth of nearly $100 million<\/a> dollars and was known for conspicuous consumption<\/strong>, the public display of lavish and wasteful spending to enhance one\u2019s social status<\/em>. Historically, being a world-renowned singer was part of Kelly\u2019s master status<\/strong>, the social position central to your identity<\/em>. Today his master status is that of inmate.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

The social context<\/strong> or the environment of the interaction<\/em>\u00a0associated with prison life is very different from Kelly\u2019s Atlanta mansion, where he reportedly had a sex cult<\/a>\u00a0and held women against their will. This dramatic change is bound to affect Kelly\u2019s social construction of reality<\/strong>; an individual\u2019s perception of one\u2019s social world is determined or influenced by social interaction<\/em>. We can only hope that Kelly\u2019s conviction and prison sentence will also alter the reality of his victims\u2019 lives but for the better.<\/p>\n
