As a first step toward the completion of Final Project I, you will develop a short paper that explores the dialectic (conflict) between personal and professional online presences. This milestone assignment will directly contribute to the successful completion of Final Project I. Your instructor will provide you with feedback so that any needed revisions can be incorporated into your final paper, which will be due in Module Six.

Prompt: In this paper, you will introduce the dialectic between personal and professional online presences and explain why it exists. How do we experience and deal with the tensions between what we want to share about our personal self and our need to present a professional image as well? You will use at least two academic sources to support your discussion of this relationship between the two types of online presences.

Your paper should include the following critical elements:

Introduce the dialectic between personal and professional online presences.
