Through
are daily lifes we probably all fantasize about being someone else. We look
towards models and celebrities as a way to judge ourselves. It is a way we
critique our looks. The world is full with people that might be smarter,
prettier or funnier than us. This makes us feel less of a person and we aim to
be just like them or even better. In society we aim for perfection. In reality
perfection is not possible and we are never satisfied with how we look, laugh,
or talk. This is when we look towards other sources that make us feel superior
and untouchable. This new source allows us to pretend to be something we are
not, say things we are afraid to say in real life, and do things we are not
able to do. This is known as virtual life. There are many virtual life sites; The Sims, IMVU, Weebly, Stardoll, and many more. These sites
allows the user to create a character of their liking and live a typically
virtual life. On these sites people form new lifes, friendships, and even
relationships through their virtual character. The virtual world allows them to
be who they want and do what they want without the pressure of society behind
their back judging their actions. They feel safe on here.
