Abstract

There are different ways as to how identity is constructed in the world today. The term
is a social and historical concept that comes as a result of communication with people around and
within our surrounding. Globalization has aided the way we interact and react to things around
us. Five different Instagram accounts were analyzed during this research in order to see if people
constructed their identity based on a global or cultural norm. Therefore the goal throughout this
paper is to explore the ways identity is being constructed in today’s global world through the use
of Instagram and how it changes in different cultural contexts.
