Part A: Google your name. Discuss various places you found your personal information online. Did anything surprise you? In what ways can your personal information online influence personal of professional opportunities? How does this illustrate that Goffman’s dramaturgy approach applies to one’s own digital footprint?

Note: It is acceptable if you found very little about yourself or found many websites with people with your same name. Just do your best to discuss what resulted when you tried searching your name online.

Part B: Open your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or another online social media networking site. Discuss how Goffman’s theory or view on presentation of self applies to how you present yourself in social media.

Note: If you do not use social media, interview someone who does, and get their responses for the Part B questions.
