Every country is a territory, within each country there are usually smaller territories. Also a territory is also an area or space around a person that he claims as his own, each person has his own personal territory with possessions like his home. In some places, there's hardly any personal space, and in some places, there's a lot of serious implications to not having any personal space. Personal space can just be really, really huge. For example, when I lived in the jungle with my family there are many people that would come out yelling and screaming, every time. I didn't know what they were saying, but I knew it wasn't good. It was kind of weird.

In some cultures, they will just pack people onto buses and the personal space is considered deep down inside. For example, here in Peru, they all pack people onto buses like sardines, you know, and very often there'll be people hanging out the door. In the United States they consider that like a violation.

Personal Space in a classroom is the entire area of the room you are in. Personal space is the area around your body. It is a boundary between you and people near you. Most people understand the importance of respecting the norms of personal space; however, young students spend a lot of time cuddling, hugging and sitting on laps at home, and this may be confusing when they aren’t able to do the same at school. Being respectful of other students' personal space it is a social skill, students who have difficulties with social skills or sensory problems can be extremely opposed to you be in other’s personal space. Also, it is important to keep in mind that different cultures they have different ideas about personal space.
