Social media shapes us humans’ identities with the content that we expose ourselves to changes the way we think about ourselves and others. Social media limits the kinds of identities we have through the discourses through action possibilities. These discourses are to be market, play, and sociality. The way we dress or the way that we want to dress or the person we want to be is all connected through social media and changes the way you look at yourself. This overall impacting our own identity to one another.
Social media has influenced me negatively and positively. Social media affects and even changes the way people think of themselves however I have been affected negatively. For example, posting on Instagram which does not get many likes affects one negatively. Social media is all correlated with your number of views, likes, shares, etc. Which plays a role in identifying your own self. However social media has also influenced me positively because I have been ale to reach lots of new people and be more social then ever. And I have been inspired by certain performers and people on social media platforms. Personally, I agree that social media shapes your identity. Social media plays a role of how you want to be seen as. Like profile pictures and posts. For example, to dress a certain way to get as many likes as possible however changing your own identity. Social media promotes people not to be themselves and limits your identity. It is racializing our communication when apple changes the emojis from pale to dark brown. People may judge you and causes problems with many users on these platforms. Certain bodies that you want to look like, and other people want to like that. Bringing back the topic of how these platforms shapes our identity.
