Although my discourse analysis paper is over. I've come to realize that knowledge can help a person see more and help in maturing a person with that knowledge to make good and rational decisions.
Thomas (2000,2004) a researcher has look into how girls create their desired fantasy identities online. This is done within the power of language, in how they convey and express themselves. It is possible to fake what you are online because no one can see you in person.
This holiday I've been online so much and chatting with friends on MSN. Slowly, I've come to discover myself succumbed to this matter. It's freaky to realize this. A few days ago I met someone who is sick of 'pretenders' in his college. I press to find out why he meant by that. Then I realize that they basically weren't true friends.
Is it possible that in this world of advanced technology people are crippled to create a real identity of themselves. Identites based on good godly principles and values. Everyone wants to be someone, the question is who. As I was watching E! tv, there's a girl who worships Christina Arguilera and she happens to be one of the pussycat dolls. In her endeavour of building her career she begins to realize how silly she was to want to be so much like Christina Arguilera that she miss out being her. Someone original that will freshly attract people to notice you for who you are, different and confident.
My identity. I thank God, that I know my creator. I'm made in His image. In spirit, that is where i should build myself, my spirit man. There's a whole book to build this identity :)
