The accepted impersonality of the Facebook discourse: the most common status among youth
Abstract The social network Facebook has become a communication tool for millions of users worldwide, the present study was realized in order to know the characteristics of the discourse of the statuses, that element of this platform is used to present the users’ way of thinking at a given moment and this dictates how the other users will perceive each other, that this, along with the profile picture, those are the two main presentation elements. We analyzed the status discourse of 281 user profiles with an average age of 20 years. The different themes identified in these statuses manifest certain impersonality by containing in their majority ideas related with nonpersonal situations, feelings, and personal issues of the users; the statuses, in general, contain phrases, quotes, single words, book quotes, songs and movies. Despite the detected impersonality, most of the users received manifestations of support or empathy for their statuses,it is implied that the interaction and discourse in this social network maintains a frequent interaction between users, but superficially and in way, distant.
