How Individuals are transformed by societies
1. Facebook & other social media might lead to depression.
2. Most of the time , we post our smiling faces & vacation ( less attractive & less secure
about our own status )
3. We tend to compare how many likes our posts generated (comparison-dissatisfied)
4. Social networking sites may disconnect users than connect people.

4. SOREN KIERKEGAARD
Rather than being ourselves, we tend to conform to an image associated
w/ being a certain type of person. ( if we create the people to be the
Ideal version of ourselves in our facebook profiles, then we conform to a
pattern)
We are reduced to mediocracy
Our modern age remains an era of increasing
Dullness, conformity & lack of genuine individuals
(Soccio 2007)

INDIVIDUALITIES (AGRARIAN, INDUSTRIAL & VIRTUAL)
