Is Facebook Creating A False Self In Your Children?

Is Facebook Creating A False Sense Of Self In Kids?

In my last post, I described how new media is causing the externalization of children’s self-identity. The result of this externalization may be your children developing a false self, in which they internalize the messages of popular culture and media, such as valuing themselves based on their wealth, appearance, or popularity, and those messages become the foundation of their self-identity.
