Facebook and Narcissism

The definition of narcissism is overly self involved to an extent where you can be considered cocky. You’re in love with yourself to a point to where its vain. In my article the questions is, “Does Facebook turn people into Narcissist?” Some may say yes, and others will disagree. Its an arguable topic that can go either way.

Facebook is a way to keep in touch of family members or close friends. And posting statuses and photos to let people know how you are doing. Lots of time has been devoted to facebook by many researchers to get a clear answer to the question. They gathered that the people who seemed the most narcissistic had tendencies that were easily shown. They would spend countless hours ours on facebook. Liking and tagging themselves as well as others in photo’s that they put up. They would digitally enhance their photo’s, making themselves look better. People who also frequently update their status with pointless things that nobody, besides theirself, would like reading about things they are doing they no one cares about. That’s the traits they found to make people seem narcissistic.

And then there are the people who narcissistic before facebook. Maybe they gloat about how blessed with good looks they are, or how many boyfriends girlfriends they get before obtaining a facebook. People are just that ways sometimes and nobody has told them that they are.
Either if they are narcissist before or become narcissist after signing up to facebook being a narcissist is simply wrong. The researchers say that facebook doesn’t make you narcissist as much as the other social network, Twitter. Mainly because they can tweet directly at themselves boosting their own confidence.

In the image, is a man named Narcisuss from the myth, Narcissus and Echo, The House of Cadmus. The man has seen himself in the water and has fallen deeply in love with himself instantly. It says "while he is drinking he beholds himseslf reflectednin the mirrored pool-and loves; loves an imagined body which contains no substance for he deems the mirrored shade a thing of life to love." I can tell its Narcisuss because he is paying no attention to the attractive women and looking at himself in the water, apalled with him own self.

1. Columbine- By Dave Cullen
The reason I would love to read this book is beacause I love to read about real life events. And the reasons for why people do the things they do. Also, its in great detail of what really happened. Explaining all the details, and the people involved in the shooting. Its mysterious and I cannot wait to read it.

2. This Present Darkness- By Frunk Peretti
This book could be considered Chrsitian book, but then again  it action and you never get that in a book. Some one recommended it to me and I considered it. It sounded really good according to all of the review. I am very excited to read it and see how the book turns out.

3. The Hunger Games- By Suzanne Collins
I had been wanting to read the series of these books for a while now. All of my friends and my girlfriend talk about how amazing they are and I want to find out by myself. I had to do a project related to these books last year in math and I had no idea what was going on. But I hope that these books will be a good read.

4.The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson)- By Rick Riordan
To me reading this book would not be a waster of time. It looks very enjoyable, and a fantastic read for me. Mainly because I like things that have to do with myths and Gods. And its a troubled boy in his early teen years at boarding school, being kicked out of  boarding school in fact.

5. Heat- By Mike Lupica
The book heat is a book about the sport of  baseball. I can relate to it so very well because baseball just happens to be my most favorite sport of all. Its about a pitcher who's very good for 12. He throws rather hard, and then is accused by jealous coaches and is suspended.

6.Heart of a Champion- By Carl Deuker
Relating everything in this book to the real life of a teenage baseball player makes me really want to read this book so bad. It just talks about all things that we face: competing, drinking, friendship, loss, and family. Its about two boys who meet another at a baseball park and after that their lives are changed forever because of their meeting.

7.Michael Jordan- By Robet Lipsyte
Jordan is known as the greatest player to ever play the game of basketball. He never gave up as a student in high school, not even making the team. But he stayed with and became the NBA. He is successful and a great role model to anybody, any age. Id love to read a book about him.

This book is completely about basketball. And well of course the death of the main characters girlfriend.
