JOURNAL 1 – Self and Perception

Choose 1 of the following prompts and write a 1-2 page thoughtful response using material from the text book and class discussion

1. First choose 3 situations or events that have happened (real or fictitious) Now choose 3 dimensions/pieces of your identity (list from last week, chapter 2) and identify the way those dimensions affect how you perceived the situations of events.

2. Using Facebook or other social media sites, describe either your profile or a friend’s profile. How accurately does that profile reflect you or your friend. This may be fun to do with a partner from class. Impression management is one way of managing the perceptions that others have of you.
