1. The image of the person: concept and function

Those who speak English, can immediately respond that monotonous word "image" has two versions of the Russian translation: 1. "image";2. "Idol."

According to modern linguists, the first value has been artificially created by the media.The second, I think, is particularly accurate reflection of the essence, because the desire to have a high status sometimes very similar to an idolatry.

features modern image can be divided into two main types: holistic and technocratic, each of which has its own subspecies and performs specific roles.

Holistic function:

  • Personally-raise.Manifested in the case of a single person around creates a certain aura of attraction, resulting in the subject becomes more popular and gets a lot of freedom and the right to show their best qualities.

I would say that the image is a kind of fiction, which is used in the business world with great success to possible benefit to present the very identity.
