Individuals can now mobilize for social, political, or economic causes using these interactive websites. Social networking, however, has a strong influence on individuals' identities and the means by which people construct their own identity. Drawing upon the theories of Jaques Lacan and Michel Foucualt, this article seeks to explore the rise of discuses of normality and identity within these sites of social activity.
