Details The problem of identities has been discussed in various fields for a long time. However, the term identity have become more complicated in today’s world. This paper explores the connections between identities and narratives, because narrative seems key to understand what identities are. It also examines how we construct our identities based on media culture. Media is also key to understand how we define ourselves. We all express ourselves in our culture through narratives.
