What is a media persona?
From my opinion, a media persona is someone hiding their true self. They'e putting on an action through media because either their afraid to show their true self or hiding something that's been done and they are afraid to show it.
How does social media fit into the professional world?
Now a days, social media fits into the professional world in so many ways. With all the latest social networking sites like facebook, twitter, myspace, etc, pictures and information can be posted about people. With this technology and advantage, bosses and co-workers or just strangers can search up a person and can probably view a picture or get info on the person. In most ways this can be a negative turnout for the person due to the fact that "bad" pictures or "false" information can be publicized without them knowing or just simply because a boss or co-worker saw something they didn't like and for that the person wouldn't be hired. Racism can also play a key role with social media and the professional world. Someone seeking an employee can search the person for information and might come across a picture of example a black person and just because of that they wouldn't hire the person.

Video Document Response
1. Was there a point where you felt you were iverwhelmed and felt like your "image" wasn't enough?
I don't think there was ever a point where I felt my image wasn't enough. I think everyone goes through those times where you compare yourself to others, but for myself I never felt I had to look a certain way.
2. Is the line blurred between what is "sexy" and the image that you have (or are building) of yourself?
Everyone is a different individual and everyone is entitled to feeling and thinking the way they want. Some people might feel their image isn't sexy enough and will turn to the way the media portrays sexy and build themselves up with that. For myself, I feel like building up my own image depends on me and not the way "sexy" is portrayed in the media.
3. Whose role is it to set "limits"?
I think it is up to the person to set themselves their own limits. No one can control or tell a person what to do.
4. What Advice would you give to a 4 year old starting her "socail life", by going to school next year?
If I were to give a 4 year old advice, I think I woud just tell them to be nice and friendly to everyone. Bullying and all other things can start at a young age, so you want to set a good example to the 4 year old and show them from right and wrong

Questions
1. How do we "build" information?
Information is built through anything and everything. If we see something, or say something it is automatically put out as information for ourselves. If we then decide to pass this information along, it then becomes new information to others. We also get information from internet, magazines, news, etc. As information expands throughout time, we are never told if the information is the truth unless we can prove it.
2. When does the information become "truth"?
Information becomes truth when we ourselves can prove it to be true. We will never know the truth of something even if the information is passed on as being the truth.
3. Is there an issue of trust with source?
When new information is put on the internet,we automatically think it's true, while it can be just rumors. There can be accurate information on the internet, but like I mentioned in the previous question, we will never know unless we can prove it ourselves.
4. When do you trust them?
It is extremely hard now a days to know when you can trust information you are given or have read. Unless someone has a good feeling about the information or it can be proven true, it is then it is up to the person to know.
