Option 1: On Tuesday, we talked about truth, performance of self, and how it relates to impression management. So ponder in this post: How many selves do you feel like you project on your social media profiles? What is/where is truth and why do we choose certain features to promote in online settings? Now, take it a step further: Let's think about other people - How do public figures like Kylie Jenner or even Donald Trump figure in when we think about impression management? Why does understanding impression management matter?

Option 2: Impression management is literally about putting our best face out there for audiences to see as they encounter us in social media spaces. What do you think some of the ethical considerations should be as we decide which face to present to people online? What do you think are some of the pitfalls/dark sides to impression management? Be thoughtful in your response.
Regardless of which option you choose, include at least one photo in your post! Posts are due by Friday at 5PM.
