Week 6 Question 1: Disclosing the Ethongraphic Self

The article on disclosing information of the ethnographic self was very informative. It made me think about the things I disclose on Facebook or any other social networking websites whether it is intentional or not. The ethnographic self is basically the cultural and social make of yourself. This article really applied to me because it is relatable in my social networking experiences. The things I say or post online such as photos of where I am at, things that I like, or things I say can help viewers to know information about me that I did not even plan on having them know. It is also easy for people to draw assumptions about me based upon the things that I "like" or groups/people that I befriend. This article also made me think about the journal assignments we have been having because we are learning how we are shaping ourselves to others, whether we are intentionally doing it, or subconsciously doing it.
