New forms of Group-think

We all define ourselves. One definition is with whom we spend our time. With the limitations of geography removed, the internet continues to revolutionize how we create, and interact in, social circles. These seemingly endless possibilities in social construction are exciting, but there is cause to be weary as we explore them. Who we spend our time with does help define us, but shouldn't be the only thing that does. Hamlet's Ophelia illustrates the dangers of drifting in a sea of opinions without a firm internal sense of identity. For society to re-form into positive new structures, we must each continue to fight to be our best selves.
