This leads us to our second assumption of EVT that people learn their expectations from both the culture at large and the individuals in that culture. For instance, the U.S. culture teaches that a professor-student relationship in underscored by professional respect. Although not explicitly stated in most college classrooms, professor have more social status than students, and therefore certain expectations exist in their relationships with thrie students. For instance, we expect teachers to be knowledgeable about subject matter,to present it to students in a clear manner ,and to be available if students are concerned or confused about a topic. We also expect professors to recognize, acknowledge, affirm students in the classroom who offer their thoughts (Finn & Schrodt, 2012). The teacher-student relationship is just one example of a co-culture teaching its citizens that expectations exist in a particular relationship. Most discussions between teachers and students, therefore, are laden with cultural expectations of how the two should relate to each other. A number of societal institution (the family,the media,business and industry, and so forth) are central in prescribing what cultural patterns to follow. These at-large cultural prescription ultimately may be followed by individuals in conversation with each other.
