Are teachers creating a society of narcissistic individuals? An interesting report came out about the narcissistic qualities of students and how they have changed over the last 14 years. You can read a report about the study here. To further this discussion, how has technology (blogs, myspace, chats, etc.) enabled students to become more narcissistic? If you think about it, we've given everyone in the world a platform. Traditionally, a platform to hear someone's views (on a large scale) had to be earned. Today, anyone with an internet connection can announce their opinions on anything (i.e. this blog). And before you say it doesn't matter because world publishing doesn't mean world reading, you're right, but a narcissistic person doesn't care if others read it. They do it for themselves and create the audience by reading themself. If you don't agree with me, too bad because I'm right and I know it. Hmmmm. . . .
