Constructing Digital Selves: Social Media, Identity Formation, and the Politics of Polarization
(Kavya Publications, 2026) Faizan Haque, Shoaib Hasan, Jawed Akhatar
This chapter critically examines how social media platforms function as key sites for the construction, negotiation, and contestation of identity in an increasingly polarized digital world. Moving beyond the celebratory narrative of connectivity, it interrogates how algorithmic architectures, platform capitalism, and mediated communication shape contemporary subjectivities and intensify ideological divides. Drawing on theories of identity formation, public sphere debates, and digital sociology, the chapter argues that social media does not merely reflect pre-existing social divisions but actively structures and amplifies them. The chapter explores how digital identities are curated through performative self-presentation, symbolic interaction, and affective engagement, while simultaneously being shaped by surveillance, datafication, and algorithmic visibility. It analyses the emergence of echo chambers, filter bubbles, and networked publics, highlighting how personalization technologies reinforce homophily and political polarization. Particular attention is given to identity politics, online nationalism, gendered digital spaces, and the circulation of misinformation within polarized communities. By situating social media within broader structures of inequality, class, caste, race, gender, and global power hierarchies; the chapter demonstrates that polarization is not only ideological but deeply socio-structural. It concludes by reflecting on the implications for democratic discourse, deliberative engagement, and possibilities for digital inclusion in a divided world.
Balancing Faith and Learning : A Systematic Review on Faith-Based Curriculum in Catholic Schools
(TPM(Testing, Psychometrics, Methodology in Applied Psychology), 2025)
Education in Catholic Schools uses faith-based approaches to nurture students morally, intellectually, and ethically for their holistic growth. Catholic Education aims at nurturing the student from all backgrounds, combining faith with schooling. Such an approach also tries to deal with opposing secularization, lack of trained staff, and teacher training constraints alongside dealing with contemporary education challenges.Teaching from a faith-based educational approach is examined and so are the challenges involved through the learner focusing on the moral and character development, teacher perception, and student perception in the Catholic School context. This review literature is comprehensive and employs the PRISMA framework to identify relevant studies focused on the outcomes of a faith-based approach to education in Catholic schools. We searched between 2004-2024 across multiple databases, including J Gate, JSTOR, Science Direct,ScopusProQuest. Initially, 968 studies were obtained, and after screening titles/abstracts, applying eligibility criteria, and assessing full texts, 26studies were selected for detailed analysis.
