Answer to Question 2

As we interact with others, we engage in a process of working within the rules and norms of society to try to present a pleasing version of ourselves. Examples include our Facebook and professional website profiles, our business cards, and the different ways we characterize ourselves in social settings when we meet new people or introduce ourselves to a group.
