Hyperreality in sociology: The inability of consciousness to distinguish reality from a simulation of reality. This concept was developed by French theorist Jean Baudrillard
A quote that captures the idea of impression management and dramaturgy is, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression"
In other words:
3- choose a role
2 - fit in
1 - conform
... Conform to societal standards, even if that means forfeiting your individuality - Not! We will not conform to other people's expectations anymore, will we?
What we should encourage instead is:
" Your true self is much more valuable than your first impression"
break it down!
3 - Always be authentic
2 - stand out
1 - LIVE!
L - let
I - individualism
V - validate
E - everyone
Live according to your own standards, and at the same time - be good to people, be honest, be kind and most importantly, be uniquely YOU!
