I. To what extent is authenticity in the individual--a person really being who they say they are--important (to you)? (100 words)
Why?
Consider (quote and properly reference) Turkle, Silverman, and/or Gergen in your response.
II. Do you believe that the factual world is being replaced by a world constructed for entertainment and profit? (~150 words total)
Why?
Post a current or recent YouTube video that provides an example.
You can either post the link, OR click "Insert," then scroll down and click "Embed," then paste in the "Embed" code from the video on YouTube.
To find the video's "Embed" code, click "Share" under the video, then click "Embed," then copy/paste the entire code into the "Embed" box in your discussion post. (If this is confusing, it's okay to just post the link, but the discussion forum will look really exciting if the posted videos are embedded.)
In about 50 words, explain how the video provides an example. Use detail from the video itself to make your case.
Consider (quote and properly reference) Turkle, Silverman, and/or Gergen in your response.
III. Is authenticity possible in a world where you must constantly sell yourself?
IV. On what grounds can we assume there is a self?
Do issues with authenticity impact the likelihood of self existing?
V. What is an interesting question on this topic to guide discussion in this post?
