To what extent is human identity increasingly mediated?

- how is it shown in different media context, for example, the News is represented in a more factual way whereas gossip magazines and blogs are more exaggerate different identities.

- Identity on the internet can be very different to the true identity of a person. eg. a 20 year old women could pretend she is a 12 year old boy.

-Identities are emphasized in films all the time, as films are based on characters and their identities.

-Tv programmes such as soaps like coronation street or eastenders show identities of the character. For example, it shows collective identity of age, class, gender, social groups, class.

- The internet and newspapers are known for exaggerating identities. For example, celebrities they tend to exaggerate on.
