Face management is when “people generally work
to support one another’s face when socializing and communicating”. I feel
that I use face management when I use social networking websites, such as
Facebook. The impression that I want to receive from others when people look in
my Facebook is that I am a hardworking person who has a positive outlook on
life. For example, when I graduated community college, I received my Associates
degree in speech communication. I posted a picture of my diploma, with the notion
that people will view my hardworking attitude as a success. Therefore, I am
able to control what I post on Facebook and chose what I let my friends see.
However, there have also been times were there were posts on my Facebook that I
did not want. For example, there was a picture that my friend posted of me when
I had too much to drink. I did not want certain people that I am friends with
on Facebook, such as my family to think that I am a party animal. However, it
is good that I can easily delete the picture and hope that not very many saw
it.
