I recently read an article Newsweek called " Me Generation "on young Westernized and complaints about our huge egos. There is now a widespread belief among young people, that everything you want can be achieved, and the truth is that little or nothing has been filed on his way. There has been no great war, no major financial crises and incurable epidemics come to shake the guts of people in recent years.
By contrast, the modern (and postmodern way) have the elements necessary for individuals to show themselves as they want to be seen. The new information technologies allow a youth to express their views in real time and with a limit of distributing billions of people around the world. With such an audience, why not be advertised on yourself?
The problem is not self-esteem or access to the media. The drawbacks arise when people forget the possibility to have on hand to grow and grow (intellectually, spiritually and emotionally) and are engaged in shaping protopersonalidades egos and based solely on the images, creating vast hordes of little Rock Stars.
The good or bad this is not our business. What we do our responsibility is to what extent we are becoming a generation deeply unconscious of their surroundings, their problems and even herself, but with an irresponsible worship the image. I just hope that, contrary to the myth of Narcissus, we do not drown in love chasing our reflection in the water.
PS: I recently saw this video of Lindsay Lohan " promoted " itself ... quite adequate.
