4.7A Social Components of Identity

Organising concept is identity; digital systems shape how we build, show, and are labelled by age, gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity, religion, and disability.
Supporting concepts: expression (a platform can amplify or silence a voice) and power (who is centred and who is treated as an edge case).
Content topics that meet here: media and networks (self-presentation, community), data and artificial intelligence (inference, representation), and values and ethics throughout.

Presenting the Self Online

A profile is curated: chosen photos, words, and likes present an identity, under a real name or anonymously / a pseudonym.
Anonymity lets people explore identity safely and speak honestly. It can also shield abuse.
Context collapse: offline audiences (family, friends, colleagues) merge online, so one post reaches all at once.
1. Impacts vs implications: new freedom to shape and share who you are, against pressure to perform, loss of separate spheres, and anonymity that can shield harassment.

Finding Community and Common Humanity
