Document Summary
Who you think you are and who other people think you are. The importance of identity: communication influences identity development if doesn"t match-identity crisis, we encounter many people with different identities from our own . Identity influences communication especially with new technologies: much of our communication experience is organized around identities. Individual and societal forces interact together through identities to shape our communication experiences: society: identities are not created equal. Former iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad: we don"t have homosexuals like in your country. In iran we do not have this phenomenon. I do not know who told you we have it. Identities are: social categories you identify with, social categories that others identify you with, primary and secondary, fixed and dynamic, created through interaction with others, understood in historical, social & cultural contexts. Bryan stow in coma 9 months because they beat him up due to his team supports. We are not reducible to one identity-can have many identities.
