The use of Instagram as a conflict of identity in adolescents and its consequences in the absence of critical thinking
Keywords:
Social media, Instagram, Conflicts, Identity, Critical thinkingAbstract
Every society is transformed as time progresses and, the spheres of life such as education, health, politics, economy and, in the same way, technology, have been modified and inserted in daily life, affecting the form of relationship and socialization. With the leap to web 2.0, and the growth of people who use all types of social networks, the loss of identity and personality has increased, especially with the use of Instagram, due to a lack of critical thinking and reflection on the actions that are made in them. This project is aimed at analyzing data collected in an online questionnaire for Obligatory Secondary Education students of a public institute in Córdoba, in order to observe how the personality construct is marked by biases that social networks help to acquire. Subsequently, an awareness workshop is held that consists of five activities developed in seven sessions. The conclusions indicate that social networks occupy a very important part of adolescents' available time, which results in constantly exposing any experience to the world view, creating identity biases due to a lack of critical thinking.Downloads
