The final assignment given to us was a group project presentation.

Presentations have never been my strong suit, whether it is talking about myself in front of a group of people to presenting a complex situation to a class.

One of the most fascinating traits of online presentation is the flexibility to show only what people want to allow others to see and in a way exclude what they don’t. For this assignment I decided to analyze my good friend Janet’s social media pages and compare them to her corporeal self to determine if there were any significant differences between her online persona and her…

In Erving Goffman’s novel from 1959, The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life, Goffman uses a dramaturgical approach in order to further exemplify the ways in which there is a connection between theatrical performances and the kinds of acts individuals put on in their daily lives.
