Our generation has grown up surrounded by technology and it has shaped us into the people we are today. Social media influencers have taught us what is \u201ctrendy\u201d or \u201caesthetic\u201d and therefore we feel the need to change ourselves in order to fit that standard. If someone\u2019s favorite celebrity is wearing a jacket, it will automatically make them more inclined to want to get that jacket. This can strip away parts of an individual&#8217;s identity because rather than forming their own look, they are copying someone else&#8217;s. Our online identity can be much different than our offline identity. This can be seen in celebrities especially. Since celebrities are constantly influencing individuals all around the world, they only want to show the best version of themselves to the public. It is inevitable that one\u2019s interests are going to be affected by the media. This can be something as little as what makeup product to use all the way to who to cast your vote for in a presidential election.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Identity is heavily affected by the media.
