Comment #1:

I really enjoyed your humorous introduction, and your story about how your Facebook profile was something that was kept hidden from your mother. I think you could elaborate on this even more, explaining that content on social media platforms like Facebook may be inappropriate for individuals under a certain age, and why. You did a really great job incorporating the big questions from Smith and Watson's article. You used this essay question to analyze why you post the way you do online, and why you feel uncomfortable "oversharing" on Facebook. You also connected your thoughts to another ethical concern discussed in class, ethical acculturation, to assess whether you stay true to yourself online, or act differently. I think you do a great job acknowledging that because you choose not to post personal information, this can be harmful when a stranger comes across your profile. Moving forward, I think you could acknowledge the other perspective of this idea as well, explaining that sometimes it is important not to disclose personal information to strangers. You could connect this point to your points about unauthentic "friendships" on Facebook and how this leads to false identities. Overall, great job!
