Question

Online communication allows people the ability to create new identities. People can switch genders, race, age, etc. since the visual and auditory cues used in face-to-face encounters are not used. Do you think this practice is helpful, harmful, or both to people’s self-concept?

Answer 1

This practice is harmful to people's self-concept because it disfigures their identity, creates ethical questions by presenting themselves as something they are not.
