LESSON OBJECTIVES
At the end of lesson, you should be able to:

1. Define online identity;
2. Compare real identity versus online identity;
3. Describe the influence of Internet on sexuality and gender;
and
4. Discuss the proper way of demonstrating values and attitudes
online.
ABSTRACTION
• More than half of the population worldwide now uses the
Internet.
• Internet has already become an integral part of everyday life
for most of the world’s population. The Philippines is among
one of the countries with the most active Internet users.
• Online identity is actually the sum of all our characteristics
and our interactions.
• Partial identity is a subset of characteristics that make up our
identity.
• Persona is the partial identity we create that represents
ourselves in a specific situation.
SELECTIVE SELF PRESENTATION AND
IMPRESSION MANAGEMENT
• Self-presentation is the “process of controlling how one is perceived
by other people.”
• To construct positive images, individuals selectively provide
information about them and carefully cater this information in
response to other’s feedback.
• Sharing ourselves is no longer new and has been practiced as soon
as human beings were formed.
• Digital devices help us share information broadly, more than ever
before.
• We have entered an extraordinary era of self-portraiture. In older
family albums, the photographer was not often represented in the
album, whereas with arm’s-length photos, they are necessarily
included (e.g., selfies and groupies).
• Conversion of private diaries into public revelations of inner
secrets; the lack of privacy in many aspects of social media make
the users more vulnerable.
• Sharing the good things, the bad, embarrassing, and “sinful”
things we experience; we also react and comment on negative
experiences of others; empathize with people; argue with others
online.
• Blogs and social media are the primary digital fora on which such
confessions occur, but they can also be found in photo and video-
sharing sites where blunders and bad moments are also
preserved and shared.
• We should have a filtering system to whatever information we
share online, as well as to what information we believe in, which
are being shared or posted by others online.
GENDER AND SEXUALITY ONLINE
The terms “sex,” “gender,” and “sexuality” are often thought
of as synonymous. They are actually quite distinct:
• Sex is the biological state that corresponds to what we might call a

“man” or a “woman”; biological, fixed, and immutable.
• Gender how sex should be experienced and how sex manifests in
behavior, personality, preferences, capabilities, and so forth.
• Sexuality is an individual expression and understanding of desire. It
is often viewed as binary (homosexual or heterosexual), but in
reality, sexuality is often experienced as fluid.
PERFORMING GENDER ONLINE
• Judith Butler conceptualized gender as a performance.
• Gender was performative, produced through millions of
individual actions, rather than something that comes naturally
to men and women.
• The emergence of a “free culture” where individuals are
empowered to engage in cultural production.
• Social media has been celebrated for facilitating greater
cultural participation and creativity.
• Social media has been celebrated for facilitating greater
cultural participation and creativity;
• The emergence of a “free culture” where individuals are
empowered to engage in cultural production using raw
materials, ranging from homemade videos to mainstream
television characters to create new culture, memes, and
humor.
• While the number of male and female bloggers is roughly
equivalent, they tend to blog about different things;
• Although the technologies are the same, the norms and
mores of the people using them differ.
Setting Boundaries To Your Online
Self: Smart Sharing
Before posting or sharing anything online, consider the
following:
• Is this post/story necessary?
• Is there a real benefit to this post? Is it funny, warmhearted,
teachable—or am I just making noise online without purpose?
• Have we (as a family or parent/child) resolved this issue?
• Is it appropriate? Does it stay within the boundaries of our
family values?
• Will this seem as funny in 5, 10, or 15 years? Or is this post
better suited for sharing with a small group of family
members? Or maybe not at all?
RULES TO FOLLOW
Here are additional guidelines for proper sharing of information
and ethical use of the Internet according to New (2014):
• Stick to safer sites.
• Guard your passwords.
• Limit what you share.
• Remember that anything you put online or post on a site is there
forever, even if you try to delete it.
• Do not be mean to or embarrass other people online.
• Always tell if you see strange or bad behavior online.
• Be choosy about your online friends.
• Be patient.
