The media such as magazines,films, newspapers, mysic and soaps have an influene/impact on identity.
David Buckingham (2008)
Describes identity as something that distinguishes us from other people. However it also implies a relationship with boarder collective identities or social group, people with the same interests for example will be similar because of this shared interest however their other interests and beliefs will make them individuals.
This contraditcion makes identity complicated to define.
