Welcome to today’s episode of the IB Digital Society podcast! In this episode, we’ll explore how social identity and social class influence experiences within our increasingly digital world.

We’ll examine how factors like age, gender, ethnicity, and ability shape access to resources and opportunities, both online and offline, shedding light on issues of privilege, discrimination, and the digital divide.

We’ll also discuss the evolving nature of family and relationships in the digital age, from the ways technology fosters connection to its role in surveillance and the creation of online communities.

Through examples like Gamergate and biased algorithms in criminal justice, we’ll uncover the profound impact of social dynamics in digital spaces. Finally, we’ll invite you to reflect on your own experiences in navigating this complex digital society. Let’s get started!
