I believe that we are molding the world into a place that makes a regular individual into a person that you want to follow and know all about. The Me Generation as this article calls it talks about how people in their 20s are becoming narcissi and you know what ...its true. Society's youth is completely consumed with creating their on spot light by making themselves an interesting individuals. Youth nowadays don't even have to have a specific talent to be admired for. Lets take for example a well known popular celeb..."Kim Kardashian". What is she known for? What made her one of Hollywood's most popular? How did she get into the business? Was it for... Singer? Actress? Fashion Designer? Sports? etc. No none of that, most do not recognize this fact but Kim K was working as a closet organizer for the well known celebrities. She was never part of the Fabulous life until she got involved with the famous singer Ray J.. who brought her close friends with the young Eras Paris Hilton. All this attention to Kim made her popular all this Me Me Me brought her to what she is today which is a well known celebrity making millions for no real talent.
Lets look at a more simpler example about how powerful it is to have the Me Me Me mind set in youth these days. HAve you ever heard of "People care about People who care about themselves". A very narcissi quote to say but has become so true that makes it impossible to shrug off. As a young adult in her 20s I have become a victim to this saying. Why you may ask? because what happens if you don't share information about yourself to others? what happens if you don't use technology to displace your lifestyle or whereabouts? Let me answer.. you become forgotten, you become the person that fell out the face of the earth. Todays youth or Millennial are not lazy or only concerned with ourselves. We are new citizens of the world we are the new generation that are not afraid to share our daily lives with our peers/public. We have evolved into individuals who are trying to be independent, unique and outspoken about how we really feel and how we live and exress our lives.
