= Self Expression, Trying On New Identities =

Discussion Questions
 * 1) Do you think you can be more authentic when you are online—can you be more who you really are, or do you think people like to be someone else and play around with their identity?
 * 2) When you think of stuff to post on your profile, who is the main audience you’re communicating to? Who are other potetntial audiences that might be viewing, but that you might not think of when you post things?
 * 3) Do you think it is easier to stereotype people online than in real life? Why or why not? What role does popular culture have on the images and music that people decide to include on their profiles?
 * 4) Before the Internet, you had to be a celebrity or politician to hit the mass media sources…that has changed due to online access. What are the positive and negative consequences of blurring the line between being a celebrity and a regular person?
