Activity the Selfie: A Window into Identity


1. Look at the picture below of a woman taking a ‘selfie’ picture.
2. Answer the following questions:
 Describe what is happening in the image?
Answer: Obviously, the woman is taking a selfie.
 What do you see that makes you say that?
Answer: The phone she’s holding while smiling widely like she’s looking at the camera.
 Why is she standing in the pathway of the city?
Answer: To capture the city’s view with her beautiful smile that she’s kind of telling everyone she’s
having her great day.
 What do you think the woman’s ‘selfie’ will look like?
Answer: She’ll look different. As we can see, the woman take a selfie by her arm’s length that
causes a distortion of the face owing to projection, creating a kind of bizarre funhouse mirror
effect that makes her look— well. Indeed, with a beautiful face and an amazing place, it makes
everything perfect.
 Do you think she knows she is being photographed?
Answer: I don’t think so. Well, maybe, the angle’s perfect for a shot of something documentary or
whatever, still, I don’t think she knows it. She’s just enjoying the moment and being herself.
Nothing more, nothing less.
 In what ways are ‘selfie’ accurate/inaccurate representations of one’s identity?
Answer: The selfie is a fundamental part of the structure of the online identity for young people in
today’s digital world. “Selfie” can be accurate if you, are being you. It can be inaccurate if you’re
being a catfish— someone who uses false information to cultivate a persona online that does not
represent their true identity and it usually involves using stolen or edited photos, usually taken
from an unwitting third party.

Reflective Thinking
1. What does the word ‘identity’ mean to you?
Answer: It’s like I tell everyone a story about myself inside my head. And that story makes me of
who I am. I build myself out of that story. It is the manner in which I consider myself, the manner
in which how I am seen by the world and the attributes that characterize me.

2. Have you ever taken a ‘selfie’? If yes, reflect on your most recent “selfie” experience:
- Where were you?
– To whom did you send the image?
– In what ways did the ‘selfie’ reflect who you are as an individual? If no, assume that you will be
taking a selfie in the near future:
- Where would you take it?
– In what ways may the ‘selfie’ reflect who you are as an individual?
Answer: A minute ago, before doing this task, I took some selfies and sent it to my friends and
family, saying “Look at me, this is who I am”. My selfies has something to do with my mood, my
confidence, and how I live my life. But what do my selfie actually say about me in front of the
camera? Well, to tell you honestly, when taking selfie, I feel like I am myself more, that I am the
lead character of a story, that I am the agent of my own selfie.

Application

Where are you now? Exploring your identity

Your identity is made up of many different parts, and so too will your students’ identities be
comprised of many different dimensions. By completing this checklist, you should gain a
better sense of your own identity and the different aspects of your future students’ identities.
For each component, check your identity status as diffused, foreclosed, in a moratorium, or
achieved.

If you checked “Diffused” or “Foreclosed” for any areas, take some time to think about what
you need to do move into a moratorium identity status and write about this below.
As you can see, neither of the two was marked check, for I have already
established my identity (not totally though).

Evaluation

1. Classify the statements according to Marcia’s identity status by writing each


statement in the box where they best fit.
o “I made a choice without thinking about it.”
o “I thought about it and I know what I’m going to do about it.” o
“I’m thinking about what I should do.”
o “I don’t know and I don’t care what I’m supposed to do with my life.”

Foreclosed Achievement
“I thought about it and I know what I’m going
I made a choice without thinking about it. to do about.

Diffused Moratorium

supposed to do with my life. “I’m thinking about what I should do now”
2. Reflect on what are the challenges that an adolescent may encounter in
knowing their identity and how could they cope with these challenges.

- Adolescent nowadays are lacking in congruent behaviors and values in


different areas and always putting their self down which leads to their low
self esteem. In order for them to cope up with these challenges, they need
their parents. Parents need to encourage healthier patterns, so that those
teens can get the support he/she needs.

3. How will commitment and exploration affect in developing the identity status of an
adolescent?

- Exploration affects in the development of their identity status because it refers


to the degree to which adolescents search for different alternatives in respect of
their personal aspiration, values and beliefs before making commitments. They
need an alternative dimension of in-depth exploration before commitments are
made. More exploration, more option of commitment to be make. More
commitment, the higher risk they’ll find their identity.
