Digital Identity Part 1
Social Networking and the creation of Self Online.
Identity is what makes a person who they are. It could also be perceived as who you project online. It can also stand for who you are not and instead who you pretend to be. This could also been seen as your 'Persona' which is when a person plays a role, either to fit in or just to act.
The things that make up a persons identity could be seen as many things, from Race to hair color to gender. As well as eye color. The other things to think about nationality, friendships, music taste, sexuality, appearance, student status, family, relationship, religion etc.
How does a person see Gender (in terms off biological sex)? Could it be through what a person once was? Body shape? Mannerisms? What about a persons genetics vs our upbringing and what we've learned. What about how we eat? And when we eat culturally.Our emotions too play into this. It reminds me off the the boy who was born and had his genitals cut off.
How do we define what race is? Is it due to our culture? Is it due to the color of our skin? Of because of our past experiences? Our Trauma plays a big part in our Gender and our race, but our History is what plays the biggest role.
