Social media, information technologies, and blending of cultures. We learn a large saturation of identities and possibilities of self. More about quality time rather than length of time together. We partake in so many roles that we never have a unified self and never feel sure of ourselves. We change who we are according to people and context. We are free to experiment with different selves and we adapt easily. We identify with more than one community: religious, working, athletic, scholarly. We are becoming more aware that others shape who we are.
