How Does Language Influence Identity

Rationale

The written task relates to language and cultural context, which is developed through the topic of identity. My written task is developed through my learning of how language as well as, my awareness and knowledge of how modern technology has altered both individual and public identity. With regard to the topic of identity, we discussed how the English language in music lyrics specifically can alter and create social identities, the way in which language is used in a song can have an influence on our identities, as well as the different ways modern devices have an influence on identities.

We come to see our identities as those we would like to have as seen on social media or that we want people to see rather than who we really are. We then feel compelled to promote these identities through social media. The line between person and persona, private and public self become blurred or erased completely and the so-called self-identity becomes a means of our acceptance and status.

In relation to the topic of how modern technology has altered our identities, nowadays modern technology has replaced many humans; technological machines have now taken some jobs which used to be done by humans. Many packing firms have employed machines on production lines to increase production efficiency, this relates to the message because many people who used to have jobs at these firms now feel unfortunate and have to perceive that with improvement of technology it can alter their
