What we have called a “shrine” is a space created by us that ties us, through popular culture, to other people in our generation. This can be a bedroom wall, a locker, or a Facebook page. I have suggested that these shrines are ventures in the creation of identity. Do we define ourselves against other people, to show how we are unique? Or are we defining ourselves in a way that shows how we are like other people in our generation?

Find a Facebook, or other social networking page that you know, and describe how it creates identity. How does it create personal identity? And does it participate in an identity of one generation? For example, the girl in the site above references only recent bands by her choice of wall posters.
