“…That being said, James Lull observes that although there is a trend towards the individualization of the self, some forms of cultural retrenchment still exist (Kurylo, 2012). This means that although globalization has fostered an environment whereby individuality is prized, there is still an opportunity for the 'collective culture' to exist (Kurylo, 2012).…”

Communication has existed since the beginning of mankind. Over the years, its practices have evolved, becoming more and more sophisticated but its principal motive has remained the same; to effectively spread messages. As one of the arms of communication, mass media has evolved to become a dominant force for the dissemination of information. The implication of this is that not only have our modes of communication evolved, but the ways in which we view each other in the global community has also altered our phenomenological experience of everyday life. Marshall McLuhan describes this as the ‘global village’ where traditional barriers of time and space have been broken and bridged. The inevitable march of human civilization towards technology has brought about the information age where the reliance on mass media is more a rule than an option. We no longer live with mass media, but we live within its confines. This in turn affects the way that we process information including cultural stimuli and the entire architecture of human thought. The ubiquity of mass media has created an environment where mass media not only dictates norms but also reflects human behavior creating a new reality that is not only framed, but also made immediate by it. This means that as we become more and more entrenched in the realities created by mass media, we begin to become blasé of the ways it shapes and dictates our lives.

“…Strategy 2: Shift power centre Participants also reported shifting their source of power as gay midlife men, an act that may have entailed the transformation of identity through the development and recognition of positive, self-affirming midlife features that were alternatives to those formerly embracedones that no longer served or fit them. The term power as used here regards one's ability to control circumstances related to the fulfilment of personal goals or having access to social resources (Kurylo, 2013), and to establish equality of social status with the younger gay outgroup. Participants' reports suggested power centre shifts from external to internal, and/or from physical attractiveness to an alluring maturity.…”

This study utilizes a qualitative thematic analysis methodology and a social identity theory framework to explore ways in which early midlife gay men report enhancing their social identities through social and psychological creativity. Face-to-face, semi-structured interviews were conducted with forty early midlife gay men (aged 40-53) in four US cities. Men discussed the collective and individual essences of their age and gay identities, including attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours that they embraced to self-enhance at midlife. These discussions emphasized differences from the younger gay outgroup, often in the context of intergenerational interaction. Identified were three strategies (and seven substrategies) that summarized the ways that interviewees constructed their identities in the interest of self-enhancement, specifically in the context of intergenerational comparisons with younger gay men. These strategies may be considered as extensions to social creativity strategies presented in Tajfel and Turner's (Psychology of intergroup relations. Chicago, IL: Nelson, 1986: 7) social identity theory.
