Question

Online communication allows people the ability to create new identities. People can switch genders, race, age, etc. since the visual and auditory cues used in face-to-face encounters are not used. Do you think this practice is helpful, harmful, or both to people’s self-concept? Does it create ethical issues when presenting oneself as something they are not? Why or why not? What might be some reasons people do this? How could this be both useful and not useful?

Answer 1

This practice is harmful to people's self-concept because it disfigures their identity, creates ethical questions by presenting themselves as something they are not.

What might be some of the reasons why people do this?

it is about the possibility of acting and being someone different from what you show in everyday life and with the people around you, either because you lack the courage to assume who you really are or even because you think that this way you can be free to act as you want without having to deal with the judgment of third parties.

With this information, we can conclude that it is about the possibility of having fun and meeting new people, meeting unmet needs in real life such as “feeling loved or appreciated”
