Some famous person once said that the concept of a true individual self is deception. Instead of being one true self, we are many fractured selves, each one created to meet a specific person or purpose.

Given this thought, create an argument in which you make the claim as whether people must develop “fractured selves” to survive in the world, or if they instead have what can be termed an authentic self.
