Mini Assesment

After we are done in Moodle Called Mini-Assessment Answer the following Questions:

Use MLA Standards and bring in examples from class and your real life and be as detailed as possible. We have gone over these in class.  

1. Name 3 contexts (at least one should be an online context) and describe what aspects of yourself are the same and what aspects of yourself are different across each context. (Possible contexts include: school, sports team, home, Facebook, World of Warcraft,GTA) Provide at least 4 examples using specific examples.)

My identity in school is quite different from myself because I think that I am talkative and active when I’, at home, but when I come to school, I become quiet and many of my classmates and teachers think that I’m not that active. Also I think my identity in Facebook is similar to myself because Facebook is a place where you express yourself and post what you really think on line. Lastly, I am different as a chef to myself because I find myself confident and excited when I cook than when I study something else.

2. What are some benefits to being different online? (Give at least 3 examples - use real life situations)

One benefit of being different online is that you can express yourself in any way.For example, some people make rumors based on things you post online and make fun of them. If no one know who you are there wouldn’t be people talking about the real you. Also some companies might judge you by things you post online. If you want to post how you feel, but is worried about how your boss or the person you’re being interviewed by would see you, being different online can help. Lastly, information that can be used against you can be prevented. Some personal information can be hacked by others, but being another person will help to prevent it.

3. When might being different online be a problem? Who might it be a problem for?  (Give at least 3 examples, scenarios, and things you may have encountered).

There are some problems  of being different online. I think it would be a problem for your friends. There is a real life experience that I heard which was about a girl who used a fake identity to make another friend talk on their back to make them apart. Also it can give harm to strangers. People who try to be honest can be disappointed if they realize that they’ve been tricked. Lastly, it would bring conflict between parents. Parents usually don’t like their children posting personal information so it wouldn’t be beneficial.

   The first video we saw was an advertisement from PANTINE. It was about men being neat if they wash, dedicated if they work until it's late, or . However, words such as, bossy, vain, selfish and more violated words to explain women. I think this connects to the society because women are sometimes treated unfairly. Some companies tend to reject women if they want to be hired or give them lower pay. The second video we saw was about a woman who worked at Google that was in charge of security. There weren't many women who had jobs related to coding or computer programs. This connects to identity because, even though some people see you as a person who isn't interested in those, you might be really passionate about it.

My Identity ISFJ

ISFJs generally have the following traits:

• Large, rich inner store of information which they gather about people
• Highly observant and aware of people's feelings and reactions
• Excellent memory for details which are important to them
• Very in-tune with their surroundings - excellent sense of space and function
• Can be depended on to follow things through to completion
• Will work long and hard to see that jobs get done
• Stable, practical, down-to-earth - they dislike working with theory and abstract thought
• Dislike doing things which don't make sense to them
• Value security, tradition, and peaceful living
• Service-oriented: focused on what people need and want
• Kind and considerate
• Likely to put others' needs above their own
• Learn best with hands-on training
• Enjoy creating structure and order
• Take their responsibilities seriously
• Extremely uncomfortable with conflict and confrontation

ISFJs have two basic traits which help define their best career direction: 1) they are extremely interested and in-tune with how other people are feeling, and 2) they enjoy creating structure and order, and are extremely good at it. Ideally, the ISFJ will choose a career in which they can use their exceptional people-observation skills to determine what people want or need, and then use their excellent organizational abilities to create a structured plan or environment for achieving what people want. Their excellent sense of space and function combined with their awareness of aesthetic quality also gives them quite special abilities in the more practical artistic endeavors, such as interior decorating and clothes design.
The following list of professions is built on our impressions of careers which would be especially suitable for an ISFJ. It is meant to be a starting place, rather than an exhaustive list. There are no guarantees that any or all of the careers listed here would be appropriate for you, or that your best career match is among those listed.

Possible Career Paths for the ISFJ:

Interior Decorators

Designers

Nurses

Administrators and Managers

Administrative Assistants

Child Care / Early Childhood Development

Social Work / Counselors

Paralegals

Clergy / Religious Workers

Office Managers

Shopkeepers

Bookkeepers

Feeling On Display Lesson 4

Identity Questions:

1. Why do people take on different identities at different times and in different places?

People see you differently depending on the times and places because you act differently. When you are with your friends online and when you are with your parents, you can be react differently.

2. How does this reshaping of our identities resemble or differ from deception and misrepresentation? For example, when we play a part on stage in a play, is that the same thing as lying?

I think it differs from deception and misrepresentation because, even though you act differently toward other people, it is still a part of yourself. You don’t change that attitude when you are with a certain person.

3. What if we play a fictional character in an online game?

In this case, I think that it resembles deception and misrepresentation because, you can hide who you are, for example, your age and name online.

4. What if we represent ourselves as someone we are not in an online discussion list?

This is also deception and is misrepresenting themselves because your identity isn’t clearly shown to others.

5. Is withholding information about yourself the same thing as deception?

Yes, because you are not showing who you really are, and there is a possibility that you can decept others.

6. What if other people form false assumptions about who you are? At what point should you respond to or correct those misperceptions?

If the false assumption is serious and can be used against you, you should respond to correct them.

7. Do you know people who take on “fake” or alternative identities in online spaces? Why do people do this?

There are people that claim that they are celebrities and make false rumor. I think they do these do get attention or try to be social with other people online.

8. Is it ok to play with identities online? What are the limits?

I don’t think that it’s okay to play with identities because it would can confuse others. The limits are you should’nt use a real person’s identity.

9. What are the benefits of identity play for young people? What are the drawbacks?

The benefits of identity playing for young people is that they can be free to express themselves and look better to others. The drawback is that there can be false assumptions.

10. Why do parents and other adults become concerned when young people take on alternate identities? To what extent are their concerns valid?

Parents and adults become concerned when young people take on alternative identities because they know that it’s wrong to be dishonest online and would be worried that it would become a habit.

Your Identity Map and Questions For Homework

Written reflection in Blog and Post to Moodle (Feeling On Display Lesson 4 Homework).  Remember MLA formatting.

1. What does the word “identity” mean to you?

Identity means how you think of yourself.

2. Were you surprised at how many different identities you have?

I didn’t know that we can have many identities as long as we wanted to, so I was surprised.

3. Imagine that people you know from the classroom (students or teachers) encountered you in the online space you identified. What do you think would be most surprising to them about how you perform identity and why? What if someone from the online space encountered you in the

classroom?

I think they would think that I’m quiet even online, but it’s not like that always.

4. How might you change your behavior if you knew your teacher or classmates were watching?

I think I would be more careful about what I post and respectful to others online.

5. If you decided you wanted to change your identity in the classroom, would this be difficult?

Yes, it would be difficult because there is was way how others saw you for a while and it would be hard for them to think differently about who you are.

Choose 1 and write about it:

The New York Times blog post, “For Teenage Girls, Facebook Means Always Being Camera-Ready” (www.parenting.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/07/for-teenage-girls-facebook-means-always-being-camera-ready). Students should recognize that this article was written from the perspective of a parent. Students should

explore, from a teen’s point of view, what they agree with and what they don’t.

Or Choose this one.

http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2013/11/selfies-are-art/281772/

What are selfies? Do you consider selfies to be art?  Why or why not?

Selfies are pictures of your self, but there are more meanings to it than that. These days, selfies are being considered as a work of art and a self portrait. It can’t be defined as good or bad directly, but it depends on what you do with your selfie(Berlatsky). I don’t consider selfies to be art because some people just post them to brag, think that they’re pretty or cool, express their feelings or just for fun. They are uploaded for trivial reasons, so it can’t be considered as art in my perspective.
