Do you think your answer is typical among your friends?

48、 Personally, I take my achieved identity traits as the strongest because I have put in efforts to achieve that trait, for example, becoming a postgraduate. These traits can best express my qualities, capabilities, and potentials. Therefore, they are what best define who I am. The only constant in li

49、fe is change, and achieved identity traits, which are open to change, grow together with me. In this sense, I think it is typical that the achieved traits are the strongest.

54、Thinking criticallyOnline group membership can be obtained in visible or invisible ways. For example, when you follow a key opinion leader on social media, you form a group with other followers, whether you realize it or not. So is when your blogs and posts are followed by others. Thanks to the easy

55、 accessibility of social media, such online group membership enables you to find like-minded people more easily, without being limited by time and space. However, the negative effects of online group membership can never be ignored. The depersonalized nature of online group membership can lead to un

56、ethical or illegal behavior. Just imagine an ill-intentioned individual cooked up an inauthentic identity and developed his fan base by any means that could enhance his influence. There could be serious consequences if the group members are manipulated in a bad way. Therefore, a more strict monitori

57、ng and censorship system is needed to regulate the online activities and guarantee the sound development of social identity in the age of social networking.Reading 1Academic exploration 1Thinking & exploringGetting the skillRecognizing & understanding classificationIdentify the numbers of categories
