Comment on personality traits in this era:

Referring to the given statement it is easy to say that it is pretty controversial, but somewhat true.

On the one hand everybody can develop theirselves how they want, on the other hand the people in our environment with which we spend our time also have a massive impact on our personality. For example if a person is growing up with parents who smoke, drink alcohol and generally use bad words, its very likely that the child will be pretty similar to them, whilst a child in a ‘neutral‘ environment wont be probably very similar to the other one, even if it was a sibling.

That brings us to the point where it is easily able to state that we are a collection of personality traits, without it only being in this era or somewhat automated.

Referring to the quote ´´ It is a very difficult era in which to be a person…“, I can not I agree with it.

I can relate to the people, who think like that, but I think the main problem is that the people just get influenced to easy.
Nowadays a famous person just has to say that she uses this product instead of an other product, because she likes it more and many people will change their product as well. In my opinion it is totally normal to get influenced somehow, but you still have the opportunity to stay at your opinion. Statistics show that if people get influenced, the most get influenced by people from social media, which is not surprising in my opinion. But if you want to stay away from every sort of influence, you also have to stay away from all the wonderful opportunity’s the internet and social media gives you. Like access to almost unlimited information. I think that the costs I have to pay to get a opportunity like that, is totally worth it.

Over all it is your choice to decide on an influence free live or you take the risk to get influenced and get access to almost unlimited information.

Referring to the statement if you are a real person or just ja collection of an endless Automat of characters.

I think we get influenced by pictures of other people and our personality gets influenced of film characters or something else. And i think we can control that and we not  get influenced in our personality  if we don‘t want it.

On the one hand we see a lot of pictures in Social media and this is maybe very informative or funny. On the other hand our personality changes when we see pictures or we watch films. An argument for this we don’t have to watch this pictures or films.

All in all i think we are a indivuedell Person with our own emotions and our own character properties. We can get influenced by other people but we not have to.

Reffering to the quote it is pretty difficult to have these days an own oppinion. The main problem is that it is incredible easy to get influenced. Especially nowadays with social media it is hard to stick with your own oppinion.

First of all I would like to point out that I can completly agree with that. I can see how quick people are changing their opinons when their role models do it.

But I have the feeling that this is not only true for others. I have to admit that I can get influenced quick too even though I am noticing it and trying to handle it. It seems to me that this problem is static growing with the use of social media.

On the one hand it is very useful to have so many information and opinions. But on the other hand the question is if it is good to get affected like that. There are a lot of people that do not have an own oppinion at all. Furthermore, it its unlikely that you know how strong you got influenced. It is difficult to separate your ”own” opinion with the ones you got ”told”. Moreover, ”small” opinions are often not getting attention. With that it is way easier to just agree with others.

All in all you can say that it is not only difficult to express your own oppinion but also to stick to your own and to not get influenced. That is why I agree with the statment and can confirm that many people are just a ”collection” of personalities.

Referring to the statement ‘‘It is a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless automat of characters‘‘ from the novel Gone Girl, in 2012 written by Gillian Flynn.

You can see that the people were manipulated in their opinion, if they always see this perfect world in pictures or videos. I don‘t think that our personality gets effected by this.
On the one hand, i think we can be manipulated by social media, because on social media everything is presented perfectly.
On the other hand, our personality online is different to our personality in real life. In real life we have to make our own decisions of what we think and what we don‘t think.

In conclusion i think that we are all old enough to stand up for our opinion and not be forced to change our identity.

Referring to the statement "It is a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless automat of characters", I do not agree with.

In my opinion especially our generation can be easily influenced by social media which does not mean that our personality changes.

Some people say that our personalities can be affected by movies, videos and pictures because they make life look perfect without any kind of problems or mistakes in them.
Furthermore they make people believe that they need to have certain personality traits to be more liked by others.

Whereas others say that we are able to control how and by whom we get influenced by.
Moreover personality changes can also happen in real life for example by meeting new people.

In conclusion, I have the feeling that most people are able to use social media in way that they do not get manipulated by it and do not lose their own identity.

The statement that it is a very difficult time nowadays to be an actual person and not just different personality traits thrown together is in my opinion not completely true.

Of course many people just copy specific personality traits from people they see on the internet to fit in but that does not mean they can not be their own real and authentic person. Copying other peoples traits is how most children develop because social media, TV and also the people they grow up with influence them a lot and they even take some of their personality traits because that is how they were taught to be. This does not mean that they are not a real person anymore because as they grow older they can decide whether they agree with the things that they were taught or not. Copying personality traits is especially as a child a normal way of finding yourself and developing to a person. On the other hand there is still a big risk that children get influenced too early by social media and can not distance themselves yet so the statement is not completely false in my opinion. While admitting that social media can make it harder for people to find their real selves because they are constantly influenced by it and maybe even force themselves to be someone they are not, one should not forget that there is still a way to distance yourself from that and figure out who you are on your own and use social media in a healthy way. In addition to that, even without social media many people just pretend to be someone they are not to fit in at school and with their friends. Not everybody can distance themselves like that but I am convinced that most can because everyone still has their individual opinion and can decide what things they agree or disagree with.

In conclusion, I think that while there is still a risk that people just copy every personality trait to be cool or popular, there is still a way of using it in a healthy way and it can actually help people find out who they really are and form their own opinions.

Nowadays we are familiar with most of our daily situations in life and we also know very much of other people or what is going on in the world because of watching documentaries or following someone on social media. But is that an excuse for not having “real personality“ and play acting?

I do not think so. We are all influenced by the internet, because it is a daily part of our life. But that has quite nothing to do with our natural personality traits. Also we are all individuals who have different characters.

Because of social media and photos we are able to see on the internet, many people with disabilities, who might cannot experience these special moments taken by people who have experienced it, are blessed to at least contemplate these moments.

But while seeing everything on the internet before seeing it in real life, we form expectations and so follow disappointments. Because of that we are not as much exited and enthusiastic as we would be if we did not have an exact idea of what we expect to see.

At the same time we focus too much on the fictional world when we should stay in reality.

On the one hand our opinions can be influenced by the internet or our social community, on the other hand we have the opportunity to form our own opinion based on many impressions.

All in all I think that going through social media, watching documentaries or looking at photos is not an excuse for play acting, because we always have the opportunity to form our own opinion.

That mini-comment is about the difficulty of being an actual person in our era and not a collection of personality trails.

I think you are never an actual person because your whole surrounding influences you with or without the internet.

On one hand you can remain your personality if you have a strong one because you are not influenced by things like other personality trail.

On the other hand you can see how each and every personality trail effects your surrounding and choose which is popular or good for you because everything about this subject is on the internet.

All in all it is about how much you confront yourself with personality trails and how stable you and your personality are.

Nowadays people take pictures of everything they see and watch movies to know everything. But how does this affect our personality? Are we a real person or only a collection of personality traits selected from an endless automat of character?

I think that our personality is manipulated by movies and pictures because our emotions are manipulated in a way reality can not anymore. You will not be able to see things for the first time. Moreover you will gain high standards and will be disappointed every time anything is not as perfect as it seems on the picture.

On the other hand people might say that some are not able to experience such nice things as a kayak ride or a beautiful sunset but by giving them a chance you are losing your own point of view and your own opinion.

I think it is not bad to watch movies and post/ see pictures but you have to keep in mind that not everything is real. Stick to your opinion so you do not loose sour own personality!

Referring to the statement that it is a difficult era in which to be a real actual person instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless automat of characters, I do not completely agree.

On the one hand, it is true that we can easily get influenced through information we get on the internet or social media. This does mostly have an effect on especially younger people on how they are developing.
However on the other hand, I am certain that there are still many other chances in reallife to experience new things and ways to find your own personality because in the end everyone is still different on their own, as well as every human has got his own opinion and view on things in life.

To sum up, I am convinced that it is sometimes difficult to find your own real personality because of the impact media can have on us but you can still be able evolve yourself by focusing on reallife interactions and limiting your online consume.

Regarding the book „gone girl“ written by Gillian Flynn and published in 2012, there are no real people in the world anymore and everybody is just choosing this kind of character that they want to be right now.

I think that this can be true for some people and in some situations but not always. There is no doubt that there are people who always play a role depending on whoever they are around at that time but I am a hunred percent sure that not everybody is like this and that there a still people who just are themselves.

A pro argument for his thesis is that everybody has it‘s own personality in the internet which is a verifiable fact. You can‘t be the same person in the internet like you are in real life and if you create this alternative personality, why wouldn‘t you just also create alternative personalitys in real life. Another aspect is that a lot of people dont even notice how they change around other people.

On the other hand there are a lot of people who don‘t do that. These people are just themselves and life their life without changing their personality for someone and without caring what other people think about them.

All in all you could say that this thesis is half true because although it has some strong arguments it really just depends on the person.

Referring to the statement “It is a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless automat of characters.“, which is from the novel Gone Girl, written by Gillian Flynn in 2012, my opinion regarding this statement is segmented.

On the one hand, I agree with the statement because nowadays there is a crazy amount of information available to us, and even very young people are influenced by all the expectations and opinions of our modern society.

But on the other hand I disagree with the statement because in my opinion, everyone is a thinking individual with their own opinion. It is true that we are influenced by everything and everyone around us, but nobody can know everything and so everybody still has to discover their own personality by experiencing new things.

In conclusion I think that it is very easy to be influenced by our society, but still, everyone has their own personality and individual things about them.

In my opinion it is wrong because you develop the most, when you are a child and as a child you normally do not have Access to the internet.
On the one hand you still develop when you have access to the internet but on the other hand the greatest development of your personality takes place as a child.

All in all your personality is still a little dependent by the internet but the most development takes place when you are a child
