It is amazing how a backseat crammed with four average sized young adults can seem so free when one is used to relying on even more cramped public transportation. One does not even notice their neighbor's knee or hip-bone when they are accustomed to elbows, shopping bags and small children continuosly invading their personal bubble.
But then we arrive at the question, what is our personal bubble? Can your bubble change when you move to a new place? If so, will it change back upon returning to your original location? Is your bubble merely a result of the environment and culture you were raised in? How much of it depends on personality? or on past experiences?
Most importantly, does one have a right to protect the space that they would consider to part of their personal bubble? and to what degree does this right extend? I mean, you can't just throw the small child out the door. Somehow you have to draw a line somewhere.
