The document discusses collective identity and how it is formed through media and social interactions. It provides examples of how identities are constructed collectively on YouTube and in virtual worlds like Second Life. Key points examined are how the media represents different groups, how identities formed in media may not reflect an authentic self but rather be constructed based on the expectations of others, and implications of "truthiness" prevailing over truth when identities are formed collectively.
