Does Society Shape Who We Are?
Content: Now a days, my life is surrounded by social media and technology, so are most people of this generation. There is not one day when I don’t have my phone by my side and when that does happen, which is very rare, I feel very anxious as if a part of me were missing. Social media is a black hole that I unfortunately got sucked into. Instagram, snapchat and galore, all of these apps are neatly organized on the homescreen on my phone. How instagram and society shaping my life is unequivocally related. I may spend ten minutes thinking of what to write as a caption for a picture I am about to post, whether it is a selfie, or sushi, I tend to care about how I word things in fear of being judged. Society has created a funny way of handling social media. I almost feel as if there are rules for how to own an account that is accepted by society. There is definitely pressure to say the right thing, or post certain pictures for certain occasions. What I worry about is the fact that if one doesn’t obey these “rules”, they will be judged and viewed negatively.
