I learned what avatar means. I knew it was the images we choose that represent our profile pages but I wasn't sure exactly what it meant. According to the article, an avatar is what a god was called whenever they visited earth.
I thought it was interesting that we choose our avatars according to what our ethnic and/or culture is. For example, many people from the western world used avatars that illustrate what beauty is in the Western world. Similarily, gender also play a role in what avatars people choose. Most women will pick avatars that are associated with femininity and men will choose avatars that refelct masculinity.
